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，

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。

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，

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。

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.

因此我就任憑他們頑固不化，為所欲為。

「主耶和華說，『你們以色列人若不聽我的話，就去供奉你們的偶像吧！但將來你們必不再向偶像獻祭物褻瀆我的聖名！』

我必重重地懲罰他們，使他們遭遇自己害怕的事。因為我呼喚，無人回應；我講話，無人聆聽。他們做我視為惡的事，專行令我不悅的事。」

他來要按照撒旦的伎倆行各樣虛假的異能、神蹟和奇事，用盡各樣詭計欺騙那些將要滅亡的人，因為他們不喜歡接受那能拯救他們的真理。上帝就讓他們是非不辨，去相信那些虛假的謊言，

「耶和華要帶你們和你們的王到一個你們和你們祖先都不知道的國家，你們要在那裡供奉木石神像。

他們雖然明知有上帝，卻不把祂當作上帝，既不將榮耀歸給祂，也不感謝祂。他們的思想因此變得荒謬無用，無知的心也變得昏暗不明。他們自以為聰明，其實愚不可及，以必朽的人、飛禽、走獸和爬蟲的形像來取代永恆上帝的榮耀。因此，上帝任憑他們隨從內心的情慾行污穢的事，玷污彼此的身體。他們把上帝的真理當作謊言，祭拜、供奉受造之物，卻不敬拜、事奉造物主。主是永遠值得稱頌的。阿們！因此，上帝任憑他們放縱可恥的情慾。女人放棄正常的兩性關係，做出變態反常的事。男人也背棄了和女人正常的兩性關係，慾火焚燒，同性之間彼此貪戀。男人和男人做出羞恥不堪的事，他們必在自己的身體上遭受應得的報應。既然他們故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們心思敗壞，做不當做的事。

如果先知受迷惑說預言，那是我耶和華任他胡作非為，我必伸手懲治他，把他從我的以色列百姓中除滅。他們必擔當自己的罪過——假先知與求問的人要擔當同樣的罪過。這樣，以色列人便不再偏離我，不再犯罪玷污自己。他們要做我的子民，我要做他們的上帝。這是主耶和華說的。』」

任由他們把自己的長子燒作祭物獻給偶像，以致玷污自己——好使他們充滿恐懼，這樣他們便知道我是耶和華。』

耶和華必把你們驅散到列邦，使你們在列邦中的人數所剩無幾。你們必在那裡供奉人用木石造的不會看、不會聽、不會吃、不會聞的神像。
