所以，我任由他们效法无用的律例，遵守无法使人活着的规条，

我也任他们遵行不美的律例，谨守不能使人活着的恶规。

我也任他们遵行那无益的律例，随从那不能使人存活的规条。

我也任他们遵行那无益的律例，随从那不能使人存活的规条。

因此，我也把不好的律例和不能借以存活的典章赐给他们；

我也任他們遵行不美的律例，謹守不能使人活着的惡規。

我也任他們遵行那無益的律例，隨從那不能使人存活的規條。

我也任他們遵行那無益的律例，隨從那不能使人存活的規條。

所以，我任由他們效法無用的律例，遵守無法使人活著的規條，

因此，我也把不好的律例和不能藉以存活的典章賜給他們；

因此我也索性給他們不好的律例，給他們不能使人活着的典章；

故我聽其從不善之典章、不能保生之律例、

彼從不善之例、失保生之法、我聽其然、

緣此、我聽其從不善之律例、守不能用以保生之法度、

So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live;

So I let them follow other rules. Those other rules were not good. I let them have laws they could not live by.

Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life,

I gave them over to worthless decrees and regulations that would not lead to life.

I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances they could not live by.

I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances by which they could not live;

“ Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live;

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances wherein they should not live;

I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances they could not live by.

Wherefore I gave them also statutes[ that were] not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

I also gave them decrees which were not good and regulations by which they could not live.

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live.

因此我就任凭他们顽固不化，为所欲为。

“主耶和华说，‘你们以色列人若不听我的话，就去供奉你们的偶像吧！但将来你们必不再向偶像献祭物亵渎我的圣名！’

我必重重地惩罚他们，使他们遭遇自己害怕的事。因为我呼唤，无人回应；我讲话，无人聆听。他们做我视为恶的事，专行令我不悦的事。”

他来要按照撒旦的伎俩行各样虚假的异能、神迹和奇事，用尽各样诡计欺骗那些将要灭亡的人，因为他们不喜欢接受那能拯救他们的真理。上帝就让他们是非不辨，去相信那些虚假的谎言，

“耶和华要带你们和你们的王到一个你们和你们祖先都不知道的国家，你们要在那里供奉木石神像。

他们虽然明知有上帝，却不把祂当作上帝，既不将荣耀归给祂，也不感谢祂。他们的思想因此变得荒谬无用，无知的心也变得昏暗不明。他们自以为聪明，其实愚不可及，以必朽的人、飞禽、走兽和爬虫的形象来取代永恒上帝的荣耀。因此，上帝任凭他们随从内心的情欲行污秽的事，玷污彼此的身体。他们把上帝的真理当作谎言，祭拜、供奉受造之物，却不敬拜、事奉造物主。主是永远值得称颂的。阿们！因此，上帝任凭他们放纵可耻的情欲。女人放弃正常的两性关系，做出变态反常的事。男人也背弃了和女人正常的两性关系，欲火焚烧，同性之间彼此贪恋，男人和男人做出羞耻不堪的事。他们必在自己的身体上遭受应得的报应。既然他们故意不认识上帝，上帝就任凭他们心思败坏，做不当做的事。

如果先知受迷惑说预言，那是我耶和华任他胡作非为，我必伸手惩治他，把他从我的以色列百姓中除灭。他们必担当自己的罪过——假先知与求问的人要担当同样的罪过。这样，以色列人便不再偏离我，不再犯罪玷污自己。他们要做我的子民，我要做他们的上帝。这是主耶和华说的。’”

任由他们把自己的长子烧作祭物献给偶像，以致玷污自己——好使他们充满恐惧，这样他们便知道我是耶和华。’

耶和华必把你们驱散到列邦，使你们在列邦中的人数所剩无几。你们必在那里供奉人用木石造的不会看、不会听、不会吃、不会闻的神像。
