竟對着天上的主高抬自己，叫人把他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和你大臣、王后、妃嬪竟用這些器皿來喝酒；你又稱頌那些金銀銅鐵、木頭石頭的神，就是那些不能看、不能聽、不能知道的；至於那手中執掌你氣息、那管理你一生行程的上帝、你卻不將尊榮歸與他。

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。

竟在天上的主面前自大，命人拿来祂殿里的器皿，供你和大臣、王后、妃嫔用来饮酒，并颂赞不能看、不能听、一无所知、用金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神明，却不尊崇赐你生命气息、掌管你一举一动的上帝。

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。

竟向天上的主自高，使人將他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣、皇后、妃嬪用這器皿飲酒。你又讚美那不能看、不能聽、無知無識、金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所造的神，卻沒有將榮耀歸與那手中有你氣息，管理你一切行動的神。

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。

竟高抬自己，敵對天上的主，使人把他殿中的器皿拿到你面前來，你和你的大臣、妻妾、妃嬪用這些器皿喝酒；你又讚美那些不能看見、不能聽見、甚麼都不能知道，用金、銀、銅、鐵、木、石所做的神，卻沒有把榮耀歸給那手中有你的氣息，和那掌管你一切命途的神。

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。

惟自高而抗天上之主、取其室中之器、至於爾前、爾與大臣后妃、用以飲酒、頌美金銀銅鐵木石之神、即無見無聞無知者、至於掌爾氣息、定爾道途之上帝、則不尊榮之、

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!

眾生的性命都在他手中；一切血肉人的氣息全在手裏。

永恆主啊，我曉得人的行程是不由自己的；人不能行走而定自己的腳步。

『你辱罵誰，褻瀆誰？你揚起聲來、攻擊誰呢？你高舉眼目、侮慢誰呢？乃是侮慢以色列之聖者呀。

『要召集弓箭手、召集所有拉弓的人、來攻擊巴比倫哦！要在巴比倫四圍紮營攻擊她；別讓一人逃脫。照她所作所為的報應她：她怎樣待人，你們也要怎樣待她；因為她傲慢了永恆主、以色列之聖者。

現在我，尼布甲尼撒、稱頌、尊崇、歸榮耀於天上的王，因為他所作的全都對，他所行的也都公平；他能把行為驕傲的降為卑微。』

因為萬軍之永恆主必有一日要攻擊一切驕矜高傲的，一切自抬自高的；

豈不是上帝察看我所行的路，而數點我的腳步麼？

人的腳步由永恆主立定；人哪能明白自己的行程呢？

外國人的偶像是銀的或金的，是人的手所作的。他們有口、卻不能說話；有眼、卻不能看；有耳、卻不能聽；有鼻、卻不能聞；有手、卻不能摸；有腳、卻不能走路；也不能用喉嚨出聲。造它們的、正和它們一樣；凡倚靠它們的、正如它們一般。

雕刻的偶像、塑造它的將它刻成、有甚麼益處？鑄造的偶像、虛假的導師、塑造它的將它塑成、造座啞巴神像去倚靠它、有甚麼益處？那對木偶說「醒起！」、對啞巴石像說「奮起！」的有禍啊！嘿，這能做導師！看哪，這只是包裹金銀的，其中毫無氣息！

你固然是擊敗了以東人了，你卻心高氣傲。你只管自以為榮，在家裏呆着吧；又為甚麼要惹禍，使你覆亡，使你和猶大國跟你一同覆亡呢？』

被創造者在上帝面前、沒有一個是不顯露的；萬物在我們必須和他算賬的主眼前、都是赤裸裸、捉襟肘見的。

將它們的神像都扔在火裏；因為他們並不是神，乃是人手造的，木頭石頭的；所以他們除滅他們。

因為他們雖然認識上帝，卻不看他為上帝而榮耀他，也不感謝他，反倒在思想上成為虛妄，他們蒙昧的心就昏暗了。他們自稱為有智慧，反而成了愚拙，用那能敗壞的人類、飛鳥、走獸、昆蟲之像的樣式、去代換那不能朽壞的上帝之榮耀。

我行路、我伸懶腰、你都篩下來細察；我一切所行的、你都熟悉。

那時有說誇大和褻瀆話的口給了獸，也有權柄給了牠、可以行事四十二個月。牠就開口褻瀆上帝，褻瀆他的名和他榮現之幕所於天上。

也不受人手的服事，好像另外需要甚麼似的。倒是他自己將生命、氣息、和萬物、賜給萬人。

永恆主說：『現在我要起來；現在我要奮起；現在我要舉起自己。

永恆主上帝用地上的塵土塑造了人，將生氣吹進他的鼻孔裏，那人就成了一個有生命的活人。

非利士人的霸主們聚集了來，要給他們的神大袞獻大祭，並且歡樂慶祝；他們說：『我們的神將我們的仇敵參孫交在我們手中了。』

他若將生氣收回於自己，將氣息收拾歸自己，血肉之人就都一概氣絕，人就仍歸塵土。

不可讓新進教的做監督，免得他蒙於傲氣，而掉在魔鬼所受的定罪裏。

他給亞伯蘭祝福說：『願天地的製作主、至高者上帝，賜福與亞伯蘭！

列國的偶像是銀的、金的，是人的手造的。它們有口卻不能說話；有眼卻不能看；有耳卻不能側耳以聽；它們口中也沒有氣息。

看哪，其心中不正的必自吹自大，惟獨義人必因其忠信而活着。

天是永恆主的天；地、他卻給了世人。

那從錢袋中浪費金子，用天秤平銀子的人雇銀匠造神像，自己竟去叩拜，去拜敬！他們將神像抬起，扛在肩頭上，安置在定處，它就站在那裏，總不離開其位置；就使有人向它哀叫，它也不能應，不能救人脫離患難。

他氣一斷，就回歸塵土；他所打算的、當天就消滅。

那創造諸天，展開穹蒼，將地和地所出的都鋪開，賜氣息給地上萬族之民，又賜靈性給行於地上的人的上帝永恆主這麼說：

因為「我們生活、行動、存在、都在於他」；就如你們自己的詩人也有的說：「我們也是他的族類。」那麼我們既是上帝的族類，就不該以神性為彷彿金銀或石頭、人的手藝和心思所雕刻的。

當伯沙撒喝酒歡暢的時候，他吩咐人將他父親尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷裏面殿堂中所掠取的金銀器皿拿來，王和大臣王后妃嬪好用這些器皿來喝酒。於是人就把從耶路撒冷裏面上帝殿中、就是殿堂中、所掠取的金銀器皿拿了來；王和大臣王后妃嬪就用這些器皿來喝酒。他們喝酒，稱頌了金銀銅鐵木頭石頭的神。

非利士人將上帝的櫃從以便以謝扛到亞實突。非利士人將上帝的櫃扛進大袞的廟，安置在大袞的旁邊。第二天亞實突人清早起來；只見大袞仆倒在永恆主的櫃前，臉伏於地；他們就把大袞立在原處。又第二天早晨、他們清早起來；又見大袞仆倒在永恆主的櫃前，臉伏於地；並且大袞的頭和兩手臂都被割斷在門檻上，只剩下大袞的軀幹。因此在亞實突、大袞的祭司和一切進大袞廟的人、直到今日、都不踐踏大袞的門限。永恆主的手重重地擊打亞實突人，使他們淒涼，用鼠疫疱擊打他們，打亞實突和它的四境。亞實突人見這光景，就說：『以色列上帝的櫃不可留在我們中間，因為他的手重重地擊打我們和我們的神大袞。』他們就打發人去把非利士人的眾霸主聚集到他們那裏，說：『我們要怎樣處置以色列上帝的櫃呢？』他們說：『讓以色列上帝的櫃轉運到迦特去吧』；於是將以色列上帝的櫃轉運到迦特去。轉運到了以後，永恆主的手攻擊那城，那城非常紛亂驚慌；又擊打那城的人、無論大小都暴發了鼠疫疱。

『人子啊，你要對推羅的人君說：主永恆主這麼說：『因你心裏高傲，說：「我乃是神；我在海中心，坐神的寶座」；其實你不過是人，並不是神，儘管你居心、自以為有神的心機。——

所以論到喫祭偶像之物這一件事、我們知道偶像在世上算不了甚麼，也知道除了一位上帝以外、沒有別的上帝。

你因你的美麗而心裏高傲；又為了你的光華而敗壞你的才智。我將你摔倒於地，使你暴露身體於君王面前，讓他們目覩為快。

『故此永恆主這麼說：其樹身既高聳，其樹梢既挺立於雲霄間，其心既以其高大而驕傲，

靠着你作生意的大智慧你增大了你的資財，你竟因你的資財而心裏高傲！——就因這樣，

你掩面，牠們便惶恐；你收回牠們的氣，牠們就死亡，仍歸於塵土。
