亚哈回答说：“我要耶斯列人拿伯将他的葡萄园卖给我，如果他愿意，我也可以用别的葡萄园跟他交换，可是他不肯。”

他回答说：“因我向耶斯列人拿伯说：‘你将你的葡萄园给我，我给你价银，或是你愿意，我就把别的葡萄园换给你’；他却说：‘我不将我的葡萄园给你。’”

他对王后说：“我向耶斯列人拿伯说：‘把你的葡萄园按价钱卖给我，或是你愿意，我可以把别的葡萄园换给你。’他却说：‘我不把我的葡萄园给你。’”

他对王后说：“我向耶斯列人拿伯说：‘把你的葡萄园按价钱卖给我，或是你愿意，我可以把别的葡萄园换给你。’他却说：‘我不把我的葡萄园给你。’”

亚哈回答她说：“因为我对耶斯列人拿伯说：‘把你的葡萄园让给我，我付你银子；或者你喜欢的话，我可以用另一个葡萄园与你交换’；可是他说：‘我不能把我的葡萄园让给你。’”

他回答說：「因我向耶斯列人拿伯說：『你將你的葡萄園給我，我給你價銀，或是你願意，我就把別的葡萄園換給你』；他卻說：『我不將我的葡萄園給你。』」

他對王后說：「我向耶斯列人拿伯說：『把你的葡萄園按價錢賣給我，或是你願意，我可以把別的葡萄園換給你。』他卻說：『我不把我的葡萄園給你。』」

他對王后說：「我向耶斯列人拿伯說：『把你的葡萄園按價錢賣給我，或是你願意，我可以把別的葡萄園換給你。』他卻說：『我不把我的葡萄園給你。』」

亞哈回答說：「我要耶斯列人拿伯將他的葡萄園賣給我，如果他願意，我也可以用別的葡萄園跟他交換，可是他不肯。」

亞哈回答她說：“因為我對耶斯列人拿伯說：‘把你的葡萄園讓給我，我付你銀子；或者你喜歡的話，我可以用另一個葡萄園與你交換’；可是他說：‘我不能把我的葡萄園讓給你。’”

他告訴她說：『因為我告訴耶斯列人拿伯說：「你將你的葡萄園給我來換取銀子；或是你若樂意，我就將別的葡萄園換給你」；他卻說：「我不能將我的葡萄園給你」』

曰、我謂耶斯列人拿伯曰、以爾葡萄園給我以易金、或爾欲之、易以他園、彼曰、不以我之葡萄園給爾、

曰、我告耶斯烈人拿泊云、爾之葡萄園、或予以金、或易以他園、任爾所擇。彼曰不以我園予爾。

亞哈謂之曰、我告耶斯烈人拿伯云、以爾葡萄園鬻我、我予爾以金、爾若欲他葡萄園、我則予爾以易之、彼曰、我不以我葡萄園予爾、

He answered her,“ Because I said to Naboth the Jezreelite,‘ Sell me your vineyard; or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ But he said,‘ I will not give you my vineyard.’”

He answered her,“ Because I spoke to Naboth from Jezreel. I said,‘ Sell me your vineyard. Or, if you prefer, I’ll give you another vineyard in its place.’ But he said,‘ I won’t sell you my vineyard.’ ”

And he said to her,“ Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him,‘ Give me your vineyard for money, or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered,‘ I will not give you my vineyard.’”

“ I asked Naboth to sell me his vineyard or trade it, but he refused!” Ahab told her.

“ Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite,” he replied.“ I told him,‘ Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you a vineyard in its place.’ But he said,‘ I won’t give you my vineyard!’”

So he said to her,“ It is because I was speaking to Naboth the Jezreelite and saying to him,‘ Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in place of it.’ But he said,‘ I will not give you my vineyard.’ ”

He said to her,“ Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him,‘ Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered,‘ I will not give you my vineyard.’”

And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

“ Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite,” he replied.“ I told him: Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you a vineyard in its place. But he said,‘ I won’t give you my vineyard!’”

And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee[ another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

He answered her,“ While I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, I said to him,‘ Sell me your vineyard for silver, or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ But he said,‘ I will not sell you my vineyard.’”

He said to her,“ Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him,‘ Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered,‘ I will not give you my vineyard.’”

那些渴望发财的人却陷入诱惑、网罗和许多愚蠢有害的欲望中，以致落入败坏和灭亡中。贪财是万恶之根，有人因为贪财就离弃了信仰，结果饱尝种种锥心般的痛苦。

一天，亚哈对拿伯说：“你的葡萄园靠近我的王宫，你把它让给我作菜园吧。我可以用更好的葡萄园来跟你交换，如果你愿意，我也可以按地价付你钱。”拿伯说：“耶和华不准我把祖先的产业给你。”亚哈不能如愿，就闷闷不乐地回到宫中，躺在床上生气，饭也不吃。

那天哈曼出来，心中欢喜快乐。但他看见末底改在宫门前既不起身，也不对他表示畏惧，心中十分恼火。哈曼忍怒回到家中，把朋友和妻子细利斯叫来，向他们夸耀自己的荣华富贵和儿孙满堂，以及王怎样擢升他，使他位极人臣。哈曼又说：“还有，以斯帖王后只请了我随王赴她预备的宴席。她还请我明天随王赴宴。但只要我看见犹太人末底改坐在宫门口，这一切对我都毫无意义。”他妻子细利斯和他所有的朋友对他说：“你可以叫人做一个二十三米高的木架，明天早上求王将末底改吊在上面，然后你可以快乐地随王去赴宴。”哈曼喜欢这个提议，就叫人做了木架。

心平气和，滋润生命；妒火中烧，啃蚀骨头。

你们贪心，得不到就去杀人。你们嫉妒，得不到就争吵、打斗。你们得不到是因为你们不向上帝祈求。你们求也得不到是因为你们动机不纯，只求享乐和满足自己的欲望。你们这些对主不忠的人啊，难道还不明白与世俗为友就是与上帝为敌吗？所以，凡是与世俗为友的，都是上帝的敌人。圣经上说：“上帝所赐、住在我们心里的圣灵深愿我们完全属于祂。”你们以为这是空谈吗？但上帝赐给我们更大的恩典，所以圣经上说：“上帝阻挡骄傲的人，恩待谦卑的人。”因此，你们要服从上帝，抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼必逃离你们。

之后，末底改回到宫门那里，哈曼却悲伤地蒙着头匆匆回家去了。
