神諭我曰、人子歟、圖維邪慝、在邑中設惡謀者、即斯人也、

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who are plotting evil and giving wicked advice in this city.

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these men are making evil plans. They are giving bad advice to the city.

And he said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city;

The Spirit said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who are planning evil and giving wicked counsel in this city.

The LORD said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city.

Then He said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who devise wrongdoing and give evil advice in this city,

And He said to me:“ Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city,

And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these are the men who plan evil and give wicked advice in this city.

Then some people said,“ Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.

No one is concerned about justice; no one sets forth his case truthfully. They depend on false words and tell lies; they conceive of oppression and give birth to sin.

Those who devise sinful plans are as good as dead, those who dream about doing evil as they lie in bed. As soon as morning dawns they carry out their plans, because they have the power to do so.They confiscate the fields they desire, and seize the houses they want. They defraud people of their homes, and deprive people of the land they have inherited.
