All those who escape and are left alive will run to the mountains. They will sound like doves of the valley when they cry over their sins.

其中所逃脱的就必逃脱，各人因自己的罪孽在山上发出悲声，好像谷中的鸽子哀鸣。

其中幸存的要逃脱，各人因自己的罪孽在山上发出悲声，如谷中的鸽子哀鸣；

其中幸存的要逃脱，各人因自己的罪孽在山上发出悲声，如谷中的鸽子哀鸣；

侥幸逃到山上的，都必像谷中哀鸣的鸽子，为自己的罪恶哭泣。

他们中间逃脱的，必因自己的罪孽在山上发出哀声，像谷中的鸽子哀鸣一样。

其中所逃脫的就必逃脫，各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲，好像谷中的鴿子哀鳴。

其中倖存的要逃脫，各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲，如谷中的鴿子哀鳴；

其中倖存的要逃脫，各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲，如谷中的鴿子哀鳴；

僥倖逃到山上的，都必像谷中哀鳴的鴿子，為自己的罪惡哭泣。

他們中間逃脫的，必因自己的罪孽在山上發出哀聲，像谷中的鴿子哀鳴一樣。

他們中間逃跑的必逃脫，必到山上，像平谷中的鴿子，沉吟哀鳴着，各為自己的罪罰而哀鳴。

其中得脫者、必在山上、若谷中之班鳩、各以其罪而哀鳴、

或有免於難者、各自怨艾、逃避於山、若斑鳩歸谷、

逃遁得脫者、流離山間、各為己罪哀號、如谷中之鴿哀鳴、

The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.

And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity.

The survivors who escape to the mountains will moan like doves, weeping for their sins.

The survivors among them will escape and live on the mountains. Like doves of the valley, all of them will moan, each over his own iniquity.

Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each over his own wrongdoing.

‘ Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, Each for his iniquity.

But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

The survivors among them will escape and live on the mountains like doves of the valley, all of them moaning, each over his own iniquity.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys; all of them will moan– each one for his iniquity.

But those of those who escape, they will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, everyone in his iniquity.

Lord, you are the God of Israel. You are holy. You always do what is right. Today you have left many of your people alive. Here we are with all our guilt. You see the guilt of our sin. Because we have sinned, not one of us can stand in front of you.”

I cried softly like a weak little bird. I sounded like a dove as I mourned. My eyes grew tired as I looked up toward heaven. Lord, my life is in danger. Please come and help me!

All of us growl like hungry bears. We sound like doves as we mourn. We want the Lord to do what is fair and save us. But he doesn’t do it. We long for him to set us free. But the time for that seems far away.

The people of the kingdom of Judah who are still alive will be like plants. Once more they will put down roots and produce fruit.

“‘ “But I will spare some of you. Some will escape from being killed by swords. You will be scattered among other lands and nations.You will be taken away to those nations as prisoners. Those of you who escape will remember me. You will recall how much pain your unfaithful hearts gave me. You turned away from me. Your eyes longed to see the statues of your gods. You will hate yourselves because of all the evil things you have done. I hate those things too.

Some will not be killed. They will return to Judah from Egypt. But they will be very few. Then all the people of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know the truth. They will know whether what I say or what they say will come true.

You will remember your evil ways and the sinful things you have done. You will hate yourselves because you have sinned so much. I also hate your evil practices.

Their eyes will be filled with tears as they come. They will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside streams of water. I will lead them on a level path where they will not trip or fall. I am Israel’s father. And Ephraim is my oldest son.

None of the people of Judah who have gone to live in Egypt will escape. Not one of them will live to return to Judah. They long to return and live there. But only a few will escape from Egypt and go back.”

“ I have heard the groans of Ephraim’s people. They say,‘ You corrected us like a calf you were training. And we have been trained. Bring us back to you, and we will come back. You are the Lord our God.After we wandered away from you, we turned away from our sins. After we learned our lesson, we beat our chests in sorrow. We were full of shame. What we did when we were young brought dishonor on us.’

At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.You will say,“ How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!I would not obey my teachers. I wouldn’t listen to those who taught me.I was soon in deep trouble. It happened right in front of the whole assembly of God’s people.”

“ I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on David’s family line. I will also send it on those who live in Jerusalem. They will look to me. I am the one they have pierced. They will mourn over me as someone mourns over an only child who has died. They will be full of sorrow over me. Their sorrow will be just like someone’s sorrow over an oldest son.At that time there will be a lot of weeping in Jerusalem. It will be as great as the weeping of the people at Hadad Rimmon. Hadad Rimmon is in the valley of Megiddo. They were weeping over Josiah’s death.Everyone in the land will mourn. Each family will mourn by themselves and their wives by themselves. That will include the family lines of David, Nathan,Levi, Shimei andall the others.

The Lord who rules over all has let some people live through that time of trouble. If he hadn’t, we would have become like Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

“ The days are coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time the people of Israel and Judah will gather together. They will come in tears to me. I am the Lord their God.They will ask how to get to Zion. Then they will turn their faces toward it. They will come and join themselves to me. They will enter into the covenant I make with them. It will last forever. It will never be forgotten.
