我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子鞭责打你们。’”

我父亲使你们负重轭，现在我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子惩罚你们，我却要用蝎子！’”

我父亲使你们负重轭，现在我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子惩罚你们，我却要用蝎子！’”

我父亲使你们负重担，我要使你们负更重的担子；我父亲用鞭子打你们，我要用刺鞭打你们。’”

我父亲把重轭加在你们身上，我必使你们负更重的轭；我父亲用鞭打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们。’”

我父親使你們負重軛，我必使你們負更重的軛；我父親用鞭子責打你們，我要用蠍子鞭責打你們。』」

我父親使你們負重軛，現在我必使你們負更重的軛！我父親用鞭子懲罰你們，我卻要用蠍子！』」

我父親使你們負重軛，現在我必使你們負更重的軛！我父親用鞭子懲罰你們，我卻要用蠍子！』」

我父親使你們負重擔，我要使你們負更重的擔子；我父親用鞭子打你們，我要用刺鞭打你們。』」

我父親把重軛加在你們身上，我必使你們負更重的軛；我父親用鞭打你們，我卻要用蠍子鞭責打你們。’”

我父親將重的軛給你們馱上，現在呢、我要使你們的軛加重了；我父親用平常鞭子責打你們，我卻要用蠍子鞭呢。」』

我父使爾負重軛、我必益之、我父責爾以鞭、我則責爾以蠍、

父使爾負重軛、我必益之、父以鞭責爾、我必以蠍螫爾。

我父使爾負重軛、我必使爾負尤重之軛、我父以鞭責爾、我必以蠍責爾、或作我必以蠍鞭責爾蠍鞭鞭名鞭稍有鈎如蠍蠆下同

My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”

My father put a heavy load on your shoulders. But I’ll make it even heavier. My father beat you with whips. But I’ll beat you with bigger whips.’ ”

And now, whereas my father laid on you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.’”

Yes, my father laid heavy burdens on you, but I’m going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!’”

Now therefore, my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I, with barbed whips.’”

Now then, my father loaded you with a heavy yoke; yet I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions!’ ”

And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!’”

And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

Now therefore, my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I, with barbed whips.’”

For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I[ will chastise you] with scorpions.

My father imposed heavy demands on you; I will make them even heavier. My father punished you with ordinary whips; I will punish you with whips that really sting your flesh.’”

Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”

看，我已经给了你们权柄去践踏蛇和蝎子，又胜过仇敌一切的势力，绝不会有什么能伤害你们了。

它们有尾巴仿佛蝎子，又有毒刺，它们的威力在它们的尾巴上，可以伤害人五个月。

你们当负起我的轭，向我学，因为我心地柔和、谦卑。这样，你们就将寻得灵魂的安息。

到那日，你们必因自己所选择的王而哀叫，但那时耶和华不会回应你们。”

可是不准许杀死这些人，只可使他们受折磨五个月。他们所受的折磨，就像人被蝎子螫到时的折磨那样。

我所喜悦的禁食，难道不是以下这样吗？松开邪恶的锁链，解开轭上的绳索，使被欺压的人得自由，折断一切的轭，

我对我的子民发怒，使我的继业被亵渎，又把他们交在你的手中；你却没有对他们施怜悯，即使对老年人，你也把你的轭重重地压在他们身上。

有蝗虫从烟中出来，到了地上；它们被赐予了能力，就像地上的蝎子所具有的能力那样。
