“ Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its people and their animals,

“ Son of man, suppose the people in a certain country sin against me. And they are not faithful to me. So I reach out my powerful hand against them. I cut off their food supply. I make them very hungry. I kill them and their animals.

“ Son of man, when a land sins against me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it and break its supply of bread and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,

“ Son of man, suppose the people of a country were to sin against me, and I lifted my fist to crush them, cutting off their food supply and sending a famine to destroy both people and animals.

“ Son of man, suppose a land sins against me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its supply of bread, to send famine through it, and to wipe out both people and animals from it.

“ Son of man, if a country sins against Me by being unfaithful, and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it, and eliminate from it both human and animal life,

又說：「人子啊，我要斷絕耶路撒冷的糧源，叫他們焦慮地吃限量的餅，恐懼地喝限量的水。

我要斷絕你們的糧源。那時候，十個婦女將用一個烤爐烤餅，按定量分餅給你們，你們吃卻吃不飽。

「主耶和華說，『我要把戰禍、饑荒、猛獸和瘟疫這四大刑罰降在耶路撒冷，毀滅人和牲畜。

倘若我使刀劍臨到那裡，毀滅人和牲畜，

主——萬軍之耶和華要從耶路撒冷和猶大拿去眾人倚靠的一切：糧食、水、

我要向你們射出饑荒的毒箭，破壞和毀滅你們，並且使饑荒越來越嚴重，斷絕你們的糧源。

倘若我叫瘟疫在那裡肆虐，發烈怒毀滅那裡的人和牲畜，

我必使他們的土地荒涼，因為他們對我不忠。這是主耶和華說的。」

我們沒有聽從我們的上帝耶和華的話，沒有遵行祂藉祂的僕人——眾先知給我們頒佈的律法。以色列人都違背你的律法，偏離正道，不聽從你的話。你僕人摩西的律法書上所記載的咒詛和審判都落在了我們身上，因為我們得罪了你。你把大災難降在我們身上，應驗了你警告我們和我們官長的話。耶路撒冷遭遇的災禍普天之下從未有過。

「人子啊，你要告訴以色列人，主耶和華這樣說，『你們的祖先背信棄義，褻瀆了我。

「耶和華啊，看看我是多麼痛苦！我的內臟攪動，我的心靈翻騰，因為我背叛了你。街上有屠殺，家中有死亡。

說：「我的上帝啊，我羞愧難當，不敢抬頭看你，因為我們的惡行滅頂，我們的罪惡滔天。

耶路撒冷罪大惡極，淪為污穢之物。從前尊重她的人看見她赤身裸體，就蔑視她。她只能哀歎、退避。

我們犯罪作惡，行為邪惡叛逆，偏離你的誡命和典章，

耶利米啊，你們說這地方落在了迦勒底人手中，變得一片荒涼，人獸絕跡。但將來這地方必再有人置買田產。

主耶和華說，『我要向這地方的人、牲畜、田野的樹木和地裡的出產發怒，發烈怒，如無法熄滅的火。』」

所以，我要伸手攻擊以東，剷除那裡的人和牲畜，使地荒廢，從提幔直到底但的以東人要倒在刀下。

論到猶大王約雅敬，你要這樣寫，『耶和華說，你把卷軸燒掉，還說為什麼上面寫著巴比倫王必來毀滅這地方和其中的人畜。

祂回答說：「以色列和猶大人罪大惡極，遍地是血腥，滿城是冤屈，他們說，『耶和華丟棄了這片土地，祂看不見我們。』

死於刀下的勝過死於饑餓的，後者因田間缺糧而活活餓死。我的百姓遭毀滅時，慈母親手煮自己的兒女充饑。

如果他們問你，『我們該去哪裡，』你就告訴他們，耶和華這樣說，『該死的死，該被殺的被殺，該遭饑荒的遭饑荒，該被擄的被擄。』「我要讓他們遭受四種禍患——刀殺、狗撕、鳥啄、獸吞。這是耶和華說的。

大地像醉漢東搖西晃，又像暴風中的茅屋搖來擺去。它被沉重的罪惡壓垮，再也無法起來。

說：「我要把所造的人從地上除掉，連同一切飛禽走獸和爬蟲都除掉，我後悔造了他們。」
