人子歟、謂以色列家云、爾曰、我儕任愆尤、負罪戾、漸即消亡、何能生存、

人子、當告以色列家云、爾曹常言我任罪戾、日漸消亡、豈能得生、

惟爾人子歟、當告以色列族曰、爾曹常言、我儕愆尤罪惡、歸於我身、因以消亡、豈能生存、

“ Son of man, say to the Israelites,‘ This is what you are saying:“ Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?”’

Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another.

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say,‘ Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.’
