於是，我又觀察日光之下的一切欺壓之事。我看見受欺壓的淚流滿面，無人安慰。因為欺壓者有權有勢，所以無人安慰他們。

我又转念，见日光之下所行的一切欺压。看哪，受欺压的流泪，且无人安慰；欺压他们的有势力，也无人安慰他们。

我转而观看日光之下所发生的一切欺压之事。看哪，受欺压的流泪，无人安慰；欺压他们的有权势，也无人安慰。

我转而观看日光之下所发生的一切欺压之事。看哪，受欺压的流泪，无人安慰；欺压他们的有权势，也无人安慰。

于是，我又观察日光之下的一切欺压之事。我看见受欺压的泪流满面，无人安慰。因为欺压者有权有势，所以无人安慰他们。

我又看见日光之下所发生一切欺压的事：受欺压的流泪，却无人安慰他们；欺压他们的，手里握着权柄，因此无人安慰受欺压的。

我转眼又看到在日光之下所行的一切欺压。看哪，受欺压者流泪，无人安慰他们！权势在欺压他们的人手中，却无人安慰受欺压者！

我又轉念，見日光之下所行的一切欺壓。看哪，受欺壓的流淚，且無人安慰；欺壓他們的有勢力，也無人安慰他們。

我轉而觀看日光之下所發生的一切欺壓之事。看哪，受欺壓的流淚，無人安慰；欺壓他們的有權勢，也無人安慰。

我轉而觀看日光之下所發生的一切欺壓之事。看哪，受欺壓的流淚，無人安慰；欺壓他們的有權勢，也無人安慰。

我又看見日光之下所發生一切欺壓的事：受欺壓的流淚，卻無人安慰他們；欺壓他們的，手裡握著權柄，因此無人安慰受欺壓的。

我又看、日光之下所行的一切欺壓：看哪，受欺壓的流淚，無人安慰！欺壓他們的、手裏有勢力，也無人安慰！

我轉眼又看到在日光之下所行的一切欺壓。看哪，受欺壓者流淚，無人安慰他們！權勢在欺壓他們的人手中，卻無人安慰受欺壓者！

我轉觀日下所行之虐、見受虐者流涕、慰藉無人、行虐者有權、受虐者不得慰藉、

我復思天下之秉鈞者、虐遇民人、民罹其酷、靡不墮淚、慰藉無人。

我復見日下多有冤屈、受屈者流淚、慰之者無人、虐之者勢大、慰之者無人、

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed— and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors— and they have no comforter.

I looked and saw how much people were suffering on this earth. I saw the tears of those who are suffering. They don’t have anyone to comfort them. Power is on the side of those who treat them badly. Those who are suffering don’t have anyone to comfort them.

Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them.

Again, I observed all the oppression that takes place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. The oppressors have great power, and their victims are helpless.

Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.

Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold, I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and power was on the side of their oppressors, but they had no one to comfort them.

Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, But they have no comforter— On the side of their oppressors there is power, But they have no comforter.

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of[ such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors[ there was] power; but they had no comforter.

So I again considered all the oppression that continually occurs on earth. This is what I saw: The oppressed were in tears, but no one was comforting them; no one delivers them from the power of their oppressors.

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

我又看到日光之下，即使在公道和正義之地也有邪惡。

萬軍之耶和華的葡萄園就是以色列，祂所喜愛的葡萄樹就是猶大人。祂希望看到公平，卻只看見殺戮；指望看到公義，卻只聽見冤聲。

若你在某地看見窮人受欺壓，公平正義被扭曲，不要震驚，因為官上有官，在眾官之上還有更高的官。

工人替你們收割莊稼，你們卻剋扣他們的工錢。那工錢發出不平的呼喊，工人的冤聲已經傳到萬軍之主的耳中了。

她在夜間痛哭，淚流滿面。情人中沒有一個前來安慰。朋友都出賣她，與她為敵。

她的裙子沾滿污穢，她未曾想過自己的結局。她的敗落無比淒慘，無人安慰。她哭喊道：「耶和華啊，仇敵已經獲勝，求你垂顧我的苦難！」

不過這一切事的發生，是要應驗先知書上的話。」那時，門徒都丟下祂逃走了。

萬軍之耶和華說：「我要來到你們當中施行審判，速速作證指控那些行邪術的、通姦的、起假誓的、克扣工人薪水的、欺壓寡婦孤兒的、冤枉異鄉人的，以及不敬畏我的。

我們悖逆，否認耶和華，離棄我們的上帝，說欺壓、叛逆的話，吐露心中編織的謊言。正義被趕逐，公義不能靠近，真理倒在街上，正直被拒之門外。真理無處可尋，遠離惡事的人反成了獵物。耶和華因正義蕩然無存而不悅。

看看我左右，無人關心我；我走投無路，無人眷顧我。

監工不給僕人們草，卻命令我們做磚，還打我們，其實是你百姓的錯。」法老說：「你們是懶惰的人，懶惰的人！所以才嚷著要去給耶和華獻祭。回去繼續工作！我不再供應草給你們，但磚要如數交齊。」以色列人的工頭聽見每天做的磚數不可減少，就知道情況不妙。

我對上帝——我的磐石說：「你為何忘記我？為何要我受仇敵的攻擊，使我哀傷不已呢？」

你們奔向邪惡，急於濫殺無辜；你們心懷惡念，所到之處大肆毀滅。

耶和華向他們發怒，把他們交在非利士人和亞捫人手中。那年，非利士人和亞捫人擊垮了以色列人，壓迫基列地區、約旦河東亞摩利境內的以色列人達十八年。

我不吃不喝，晝夜以淚洗面，人們整天譏笑我：「你的上帝在哪裡？」

他們整夜赤身露體，沒有被子可以禦寒。他們被山雨澆透，只能在岩石下棲身。惡人奪去寡母懷中的孤兒，強取窮人的孩子作抵押，使他們赤身露體地流浪，餓著肚子扛禾捆。他們在惡人的橄欖林中榨油，口乾舌燥地在酒池踩踏。城中傳來垂死之人的呻吟，受傷者不斷呼救，上帝卻置之不理。

耶和華說：「我要保護受欺壓的困苦人和哀歎的貧窮人，使他們如願以償。」

那時，民眾和他們的妻子都抱怨他們的猶太同胞。有的說：「我們和我們的兒女人口眾多，需要糧食來活命。」有的說：「因為饑荒的緣故，我們要將田地、葡萄園和房屋作抵押來獲取糧食。」有的說：「我們要借錢才能繳納王對我們的田地和葡萄園徵收的稅。我們和他們是同胞，我們的孩子就像他們的孩子。但現在我們的兒女要被迫成為僕婢，甚至我們的女兒有些已經淪為奴婢。我們卻無能為力，因為我們的田地和葡萄園已經歸別人了。」

他們的辱罵使我心碎，令我絕望無助。我渴望有人同情，卻沒有一個；期望有人安慰，卻無一人。

欺壓使智者變愚昧，賄賂敗壞人心。

倘若你我易地而處，我也能說你們那樣的話，滔滔不絕地攻擊你們，向你們搖頭。

我必把這杯給苦待你的人，他們曾對你說，『趴下，我們好從你身上走過。』你曾把你的背當作地面，當作街道任人踐踏。」

我的仇敵終日辱罵我，嘲笑我的用我的名字咒詛人。我以爐灰為食物，眼淚拌著水喝，

後來，法老命令全埃及的人把以色列人生的所有男嬰都拋進尼羅河裡，只讓女嬰活著。

他們像獅子埋伏在暗處，獵取無助的人，用網羅拖走他們。不幸的人被擊垮，倒在他們的暴力下。

那時，你們將再度看出義人與惡人之間的區別，事奉上帝者和不事奉上帝者之間的不同。

耶賓王擁有九百輛鐵戰車，他殘暴地壓迫以色列人二十年。以色列人向耶和華呼求。

請以仁慈為懷，公正一點；請以仁慈為懷，因我誠實無過。

於是，埃及人更殘酷地奴役他們，強迫他們和泥造磚，並做田間一切的苦工，使他們痛苦不堪。

窮人被親人厭棄，朋友都遠遠躲避。他苦苦哀求，也無人理會。

另外，你們哀哭悲歎，眼淚甚至淹沒了耶和華的祭壇，因為耶和華不再理會你們的供物，不再悅納你們所獻的。

「你們在替希伯來婦女接生的時候，如果看到生下的是男嬰，就把他殺掉；如果是女嬰，就讓她活下來。」

你使我們以淚洗面，以哀傷果腹，

「我的朋友啊，可憐我吧！可憐我吧！因為上帝的手擊打我。你們為何像上帝一樣逼我？為何吃了我的肉還不滿足？

「人們因飽受壓迫而呼求，因強權者的壓制而求救。

暴虐的君王轄制窮人，如咆哮的獅、覓食的熊。昏庸的君王殘暴不仁，恨不義之財的享長壽。

窮人欺壓貧民，如暴雨沖毀糧食。

我第一次在法庭申辯的時候，沒有人幫助我，眾人都離棄了我，但願他們不會因此而獲罪。然而主站在我身旁加給我力量，使我可以把福音清楚地傳給外族人。主把我從獅子口裡救了出來。

「與你們素不相識的民族必吃光你們土地的出產和勞碌所得，你們必常受欺壓，

過了多年，埃及王死了。以色列人受盡奴役，就哀歎呼求，聲音傳到上帝那裡。上帝聽見他們的哀聲，顧念從前跟亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的約，

你們必失去所有，饑餓乾渴、赤身裸體地侍奉耶和華派來攻擊你們的敵人。祂要把鐵軛加在你們的頸上，直到消滅你們。
