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。

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.

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!

凡动物的生命和人类的气息都在他手中。

耶和华啊，我知道人的道路不由自己，行路的人也不能定自己的脚步。

“‘你辱骂谁，亵渎谁，扬起声来，高举眼目攻击谁呢？你攻击的是以色列的圣者。

你们要招集一切弓箭手来攻击巴比伦，在巴比伦四围安营，不容一人逃脱。要照着它所做的报应它；它怎样待人，你们也要怎样待它，因为它向耶和华—以色列的圣者狂傲。

现在我—尼布甲尼撒赞美、尊崇、恭敬天上的王，因为他所行的全都信实，他所做的尽都公平。那行事骄傲的，他能降为卑。”

因万军之耶和华的一个日子要临到所有骄傲狂妄的，临到一切自高的，使他们降为卑；

上帝岂不察看我的道路，数点我所有的脚步吗？

人的脚步为耶和华所定，人岂能明白自己的道路呢？

他们的偶像是金的，是银的，是人手所造的，有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，有耳却不能听，有鼻却不能闻，有手却不能摸，有脚却不能走，有喉却不能说话。造它们的要像它们一样，凡靠它们的也必如此。

偶像有什么益处呢？制造者雕刻它，铸成偶像，作虚假的教师；制造者倚靠的是自己所做的哑巴偶像。祸哉！那对木头说“醒起”，对哑巴石头说“起来”的人！偶像岂能教导人呢？看哪，它以金银包裹，其中并无气息。

你果然打败了以东，就心高气傲。你以此为荣，就待在自己家里算了吧，为何要惹祸，使自己和犹大一同败亡呢？”

被造的，没有一样在他面前不是显露的；万物在他眼前都是赤露敞开的，我们必须向他交账。

将列国的神明扔在火里，因为它们不是神明，是人手所造的，是木头、石头，所以被灭绝了。

因为，他们虽然知道上帝，却不把他当作上帝荣耀他，也不感谢他。他们的思想变为虚妄，无知的心昏暗了。他们自以为聪明，反成了愚昧，将不能朽坏之上帝的荣耀变为偶像，仿照必朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽、爬虫的形像。

我行路，我躺卧，你都细察；你也深知我一切所行的。

龙又赐给那只兽说夸大亵渎话的口，又赐给它权柄可以任意行事四十二个月。那兽就开口向上帝说亵渎的话，亵渎上帝的名和他的帐幕，就是那些住在天上的。

也不用人手去服侍，好像缺少什么似的；自己倒将生命、气息、万物赐给万人。

耶和华说：“现在我要兴起，要高升，要受尊崇。

耶和华上帝用地上的尘土造人，将生命之气吹进他的鼻孔，这人就成了有灵的活人。

非利士人的领袖聚集，要向他们的神明大衮献大祭，并且庆祝，说：“我们的神明把我们的仇敌参孙交在我们手中了。”

他若专心为己，将灵和气收归自己，凡血肉之躯必一同死亡；世人必归于尘土。

刚信主的，不可作监督，恐怕他自高自大，落在魔鬼所受的惩罚里。

他为亚伯兰祝福，说：“愿至高的上帝、天地的主赐福给亚伯兰！

外邦的偶像是金的，是银的，是人手所造的，有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，有耳却不能听，口中也没有气息。

看哪，恶人自高自大，心不正直；惟义人必因他的信得生。

天，是耶和华的天；地，他却给了世人。

他们从钱囊中倒出金子，用天平秤出银子，雇银匠造成神像，他们又俯伏，又叩拜。他们抬起神像，扛在肩上，安置在定处，使它站立，不离本位；人呼求它，它却不回答，也无法救人脱离灾难。

他的气一断，就归回尘土，他所打算的，当日就消灭了。

那创造诸天，铺张穹苍，铺开地与地的出产，赐气息给地上众人，赐生命给行走其上之人的上帝耶和华如此说：

我们生活、行动、存在都在于他。就如你们的诗人也有人说：‘我们也是他所生的。’既然我们是上帝所生的，就不应该以为上帝的神性像人用手艺和心思所雕刻的金、银、石像一般。

伯沙撒在欢饮之间，吩咐人将他父尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷圣殿所掳掠的金银器皿拿来，好使王与大臣、王后、妃嫔用这器皿饮酒。于是他们把圣殿，就是耶路撒冷上帝殿中所掳掠的金器皿拿来，王和大臣、王后、妃嫔就用这器皿饮酒。他们饮酒，赞美金、银、铜、铁、木、石造的神明。

非利士人掳去上帝的约柜，从以便‧以谢带到亚实突。非利士人掳了上帝的约柜，带进大衮庙，放在大衮的旁边。次日，亚实突人清早起来，看哪，大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前，脸伏于地，他们就扶起大衮，把它放回原处。又次日，他们清早起来，看哪，大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前，脸伏于地，并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断，只剩下大衮的躯干。因此，大衮的祭司和所有进大衮庙的人，都不踏亚实突的大衮庙的门槛，直到今日。耶和华的手重重击打亚实突人，使他们恐惧，使亚实突和亚实突周围的人都生痔疮。亚实突人见这情况，就说：“以色列上帝的约柜不可留在我们这里，因为他的手重重击打我们和我们的神明大衮”。他们就派人去请非利士的众领袖来聚集，对他们说：“我们向以色列上帝的约柜应当怎样做呢？”他们说：“可以把以色列上帝的约柜运到迦特去。”于是他们把以色列上帝的约柜运到那里。运到之后，耶和华的手击打那城，使那城的人非常惊慌，无论大小都生痔疮。

“人子啊，你要对推罗的君王说，主耶和华如此说：你心里高傲，说：‘我是神明；我在海中坐诸神之位。’虽然你把你的心比作神明的心，你却不过是人，并不是神明！

关于吃祭过偶像的食物，我们知道“偶像在世上算不得什么”；也知道“上帝只有一位，没有别的”。

你因美丽心中高傲，因荣光而败坏智慧，我已将你抛弃在地，把你摆在君王面前，好叫他们目睹眼见。

所以主耶和华如此说：“因它高大，树顶高耸入云，心高气傲，

你靠自己的大智慧以贸易增添财宝，又因你的财宝心里高傲；

你转脸，它们就惊惶；你收回它们的气，它们就死亡，归于尘土。
