“ As for you, son of man, your people are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other,‘ Come and hear the message that has come from the Lord.’

“ Son of man, your people are talking about you. They are getting together by the walls of their houses and at their doors. They are saying to one another,‘ Come. Listen to the Lord’ s message.’

“ As for you, son of man, your people who talk together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, say to one another, each to his brother,‘ Come, and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’

“ Son of man, your people talk about you in their houses and whisper about you at the doors. They say to each other,‘ Come on, let’s go hear the prophet tell us what the Lord is saying!’

“ As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One person speaks to another, each saying to his brother,‘ Come and hear what the message is that comes from the LORD!’

“ But as for you, son of man, your fellow citizens who talk with one another about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, speak one with another, each with his brother, saying,‘ Come now and hear what the message is that comes from the Lord.’

“ As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother,‘ Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’

And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah.

“ Now, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One person speaks to another, each saying to his brother,‘ Come and hear what the message is that comes from the Lord!’

“ But as for you, son of man, your people( who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another,‘ Come hear the word that comes from the LORD.’

‘這人民用嘴唇尊敬我，心卻遠離我；

他們派了自己的門徒和希律黨的人一同去問耶穌：“老師，我們知道你為人誠實，照著真理把神的道教導人，不顧忌任何人，因為你不徇情面。請把你的意見告訴我們，納稅給凱撒，可不可以呢？”

主說：“因為這子民只用言語來親近我，用嘴唇尊崇我，他們的心卻遠離我。他們對我的敬畏，只是遵從傳統的吩咐。

他們天天尋求我，樂意明白我的道路，好像行義的國民，不離棄他們神的公理；他們向我求問公義的判語，又喜歡親近神。

你們各人對自己的鄰舍，對自己的兄弟要這樣說：“耶和華回答了甚麼？耶和華說了甚麼？”

你們實在自己欺騙自己，因為是你們委派我去見耶和華你們的神，你們說：‘請為我們向耶和華我們的神禱告；無論耶和華我們的神說甚麼，你都要告訴我們，我們就必照著去作。’

所有的將領，包括加利亞的兒子約哈難和何沙雅的兒子耶撒尼亞，以及全體人民，從最小的到最大的，都上前來，對耶利米先知說：“求你容我們向你懇求，請為我們這餘剩的民向耶和華你的神禱告；因為我們從前人數眾多，現在剩下的極少，就像你現在親眼所見的一樣。請為我們求耶和華你的神指示我們當走的路和該作的事。”耶利米先知對他們說：“我聽見了！我必照著你們的話禱告耶和華你們的神。耶和華回答你們所說的一切話，我必告訴你們，一句也不會向你們隱瞞。”於是他們對耶利米說：“我們若不照著耶和華你的神差遣你到我們這裡來所說的一切話去作，願耶和華作真實和誠信的見證，指控我們。不論是甜是苦，我們都願聽從耶和華我們神的話，因為是我們委派你向他祈求的；我們聽從耶和華我們神的話，就必凡事亨通。”

耶和華把他們的陰謀指示我，我就知道了；那時，你把他們所行的給我指明。至於我，我卻像一隻馴良的羊羔，被牽到屠宰之地；我並不知道他們設計謀害我。他們說：“我們來把這樹和果子（“果子”原文作“它的食物”）都毀滅吧，把它從活人之地剪除，使它的名不再被人記念。”

他們說：“來吧！我們來設計對付耶利米；因為祭司的律法、智慧人的謀略、先知的話都不會斷絕。來吧！我們用舌頭攻擊他，不理會他的一切話。”
