竟在天上的主面前自大，命人拿來祂殿裡的器皿，供你和大臣、王后、妃嬪用來飲酒，並頌讚不能看、不能聽、一無所知、用金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所造的神明，卻不尊崇賜你生命氣息、掌管你一舉一動的上帝。

竟向天上的主自高，使人将他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、皇后、妃嫔用这器皿饮酒。你又赞美那不能看、不能听、无知无识、金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神，却没有将荣耀归与那手中有你气息，管理你一切行动的神。

竟向天上的主自高，差人将他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、王后、妃嫔用这器皿饮酒。你又赞美那不能看、不能听、无知无识，用金、银、铜、铁、木、石造的神明，没有将荣耀归与那手中掌管你气息，管理你一切行动的上帝。

竟高抬自己，敌对天上的主，使人把他殿中的器皿拿到你面前来，你和你的大臣、妻妾、妃嫔用这些器皿喝酒；你又赞美那些不能看见、不能听见、什么都不能知道，用金、银、铜、铁、木、石所做的神，却没有把荣耀归给那手中有你的气息，和那掌管你一切命途的神。

反而对天上的主高举自己，让人把他殿中的器皿带到你面前来，你和你的大臣们、妻子们、妃嫔们都用这些来喝酒；你称赞那些不能看、不能听、不能知——用金、银、铜、铁、木、石所做的神明，却不尊崇那位掌握你的气息、掌握你一切道路的神。

反而對天上的主高舉自己，讓人把他殿中的器皿帶到你面前來，你和你的大臣們、妻子們、妃嬪們都用這些來喝酒；你稱讚那些不能看、不能聽、不能知——用金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所做的神明，卻不尊崇那位掌握你的氣息、掌握你一切道路的神。

Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

You have taken your stand against the Lord of heaven. You had your servants bring cups from his temple to you. You and your nobles drank wine from them. So did your wives and concubines. You praised your gods. The statues of those gods are made out of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood or stone. They can’t see or hear or understand anything. But you didn’t honor God. He holds in his hand your very life and everything you do.

but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

For you have proudly defied the Lord of heaven and have had these cups from his Temple brought before you. You and your nobles and your wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone— gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny!

Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of the heavens. The vessels from his house were brought to you, and as you and your nobles, wives, and concubines drank wine from them, you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or understand. But you have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in his hand and who controls the whole course of your life.

but you have risen up against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have been drinking wine out of them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor understand. But the God in whose hand are your life breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.

Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone– gods that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control your very breath and all your ways!

所有生靈都在祂手中，世人的氣息也不例外。

耶和華啊，人不能駕馭自己的命運，不能左右自己的將來。

「『你在侮辱、褻瀆誰呢？你不放在眼裡、高聲罵的是誰呢？是以色列的聖者！

「要召集所有的弓箭手來攻打巴比倫，在她四圍紮營，不讓一人漏網。要照她的所作所為報應她；她怎樣對待別人，也要怎樣對待她，因為她藐視耶和華——以色列的聖者。

現在我尼布甲尼撒頌讚、尊崇、敬奉天上的王，因為祂的作為公正，祂行事公平，能夠貶抑行為驕傲的人。」

因為萬軍之耶和華已定了日子，要懲罰一切驕傲狂妄和自高自大的人，使他們淪為卑賤；

上帝豈不鑒察我走的路，數算我的腳步？

人的腳步由耶和華所定，人怎能知道自己的道路？

他們的神像不過是人用金銀造的。它們有口不能言，有眼不能看，有耳不能聽，有鼻不能聞，有手不能摸，有腳不能走，有喉嚨也不能發聲。那些製造它們、信靠它們的人也會和它們一樣。

「雕刻的偶像有什麼益處？騙人的鑄像有什麼用處？製造者竟信靠自己造的啞巴偶像！對木頭說『醒醒吧』，對啞巴石頭說『起來吧』的人啊，你們有禍了！它們能教導你們嗎？看啊，它們外面包金裹銀，裡面卻毫無生命。

你打敗了以東人就趾高氣揚，還是待在家裡慶祝勝利吧，何必惹禍上身，使你和猶大一同滅亡呢？」

受造物在上帝面前都無法隱藏，因為萬物都是赤裸裸地暴露在上帝眼前，我們必須向祂交帳。

把他們的神像丟進火中燒毀。因為那些神像只是人用木頭石頭製造的，根本不是神。

他們雖然明知有上帝，卻不把祂當作上帝，既不將榮耀歸給祂，也不感謝祂。他們的思想因此變得荒謬無用，無知的心也變得昏暗不明。他們自以為聰明，其實愚不可及，以必朽的人、飛禽、走獸和爬蟲的形像來取代永恆上帝的榮耀。

我或外出或躺臥，你都瞭解，你熟悉我的一切行為。

巨龍又使怪獸說狂妄、褻瀆的話，並給牠權柄，可以任意妄為四十二個月。怪獸開口褻瀆上帝的名、上帝的居所和一切居住在天上的。

也不需要人的侍奉，因為祂一無所缺。祂將生命、氣息和萬物賜給世人。

耶和華說：「我現在要施展大能，我必受尊崇。

耶和華上帝用地上的塵土造了人，把生命的氣息吹進他的鼻孔裡，他就成了有生命的人。

非利士人的首領聚在一起向他們的神明大袞獻大祭，歡呼說：「我們的神把仇敵參孫交在我們手中了。」

上帝若決定收回自己的靈和氣，所有生靈將一同滅亡，世人也將歸回塵土。

初信主的人不可作監督，免得他自高自大，遭受魔鬼所受的懲罰。

他祝福亞伯蘭說：「願創造天地的主、至高的上帝賜福給亞伯蘭！

外族人的神像是人用金銀造的。它們有口不能說，有眼不能看，有耳不能聽，口中毫無氣息。

看那驕傲之人，他們心術不正，但義人必靠信心而活。

高天屬於耶和華，但祂把大地賜給了世人。

有些人從囊中取金子，又用天平稱銀子，雇銀匠製造神像，然後向它俯伏叩拜。他們把神像抬起來扛在肩上，找個地方把它安置好，它就在那裡呆立不動。人向它呼求，它不能回應，也不能救人脫離困境。

他們氣息一斷，便歸回塵土，他們的打算轉眼成空。

創造諸天、鋪展穹蒼、設立大地和地上的一切、賜給世人生命氣息和靈性的耶和華上帝說：

我們的生活、行動和存在都靠祂，你們的詩人也說過，『我們是祂的子孫。』我們既然是上帝的子孫，就不該認為上帝是人憑手藝和想象用金、銀、石頭所雕刻的樣子。

王暢飲的時候，命人將先王尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷聖殿中擄來的金銀器皿拿來，供他與大臣、王后和妃嬪用來飲酒。於是，他們把從耶路撒冷上帝殿中擄來的金器拿來，王與大臣、王后和妃嬪便用這些器皿飲酒。他們一邊飲酒，一邊頌讚金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所造的神明。

非利士人將擄來的上帝的約櫃從以便以謝抬到亞實突城，把它抬進大袞廟，放在大袞神像旁邊。第二天早上，亞實突人起來，發現大袞神像倒在耶和華的約櫃前，面伏於地，他們就把大袞神像扶起來，放回原處。次日早上起來，他們又發現大袞神像倒在耶和華的約櫃前，面伏於地，頭和雙手都在門檻處折斷了，只剩下軀幹。因此，大袞的祭司和所有進亞實突大袞廟的人至今都不踏廟的門檻。耶和華重重地懲罰亞實突及附近村莊的居民，使他們都患上毒瘡。亞實突人見此情形，就說：「以色列上帝的約櫃不能留在我們這裡，因為上帝重重地懲罰我們和我們的大袞神。」亞實突人召集了非利士所有的首領，問他們：「我們如何處理以色列上帝的約櫃？」他們答道：「把它送到迦特去。」於是，眾人把以色列上帝的約櫃送到迦特。約櫃抵達迦特的時候，耶和華攻擊那城，使那裡的男女老少都患了毒瘡，全城驚恐不已。

「人子啊，你去告訴泰爾王，主耶和華這樣說，『你心裡高傲，說，我是神，我坐在海中神的寶座上。你雖然自以為像神，但事實上你不是神，不過是人。

論到吃獻給偶像的祭物，我們知道世上的偶像算不得什麼，只有一位上帝，此外別無他神。

你因俊美而心高氣傲，因輝煌而心智敗壞，所以我把你扔到地上，讓你在列國的君王面前出醜。

「因此，主耶和華說，『因為它樹幹高大，樹梢高聳入雲，心高氣傲，

你靠高超的經商本領使財富大增，因而變得心高氣傲。

你若對牠們棄而不顧，牠們會驚慌失措。你一收回牠們的氣息，牠們便死亡，歸於塵土。
