“‘ When terror comes, they will look for peace. But there will not be any.

毁灭临近了；他们要求平安，却无平安可得。

毁灭来到；他们求平安，却没有平安。

毁灭来到；他们求平安，却没有平安。

恐怖的日子来临了，他们想寻求平安，却得不到平安。

惊恐临到，他们就求平安，却得不着。

毀滅臨近了；他們要求平安，卻無平安可得。

毀滅來到；他們求平安，卻沒有平安。

毀滅來到；他們求平安，卻沒有平安。

恐怖的日子來臨了，他們想尋求平安，卻得不到平安。

驚恐臨到，他們就求平安，卻得不著。

有可悚懼之事來到，他們必尋求平安，卻得不到平安。

艱苦將至、人求平康而不得、

殘賊伊邇、人求平康而不得、

災禍將至、彼求平康而不得、

When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain.

When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Terror and trembling will overcome my people. They will look for peace but not find it.

Anguish is coming! They will look for peace, but there will be none.

When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.

Destruction comes; They will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

Anguish is coming! They will seek peace, but there will be none.

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and[ there shall be] none.

Terror is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.

“‘ “They lead my people away from me. They say,‘ Peace.’ But there isn’t any peace. They are like people who build a weak wall. They try to cover up the weakness by painting the wall white.

“ There is no peace for those who are evil,” says my God.

And that’s not all. Our eyes grew tired. We looked for help that never came. We watched from our towers. We kept looking for a nation that couldn’t save us.People hunted us down no matter where we went. We couldn’t even walk in our streets. Our end was near, so we only had a few days to live. Our end had come.

You prophets of Israel prophesied to Jerusalem. You saw visions of peace for its people. But there wasn’t any peace,’ announces the Lord and King.” ’

We hoped peace would come. But nothing good has happened to us. We hoped we would finally be healed. But there is only terror.When our enemy’s horses snort, the noise is heard all the way from the city of Dan. When their stallions neigh, the whole land trembles with fear. They have come to destroy the land and everything in it. The city and everyone who lives there will be destroyed.

Those who live in Maroth will groan with pain as they wait for help. That’s because the Lord will bring trouble on them. It will reach the very gate of Jerusalem.

They don’t know how to live at peace with others. What they do isn’t fair. They lead twisted lives. No one who lives like that will enjoy peace and rest.We aren’t being treated fairly. We haven’t been set free yet. The God who always does what is right hasn’t come to help us. We look for light, but we see nothing but darkness. We look for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.Like blind people we feel our way along the wall. We are like those who can’t see. At noon we trip and fall as if the sun had already set. Compared to those who are healthy, we are like dead people.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.That’s because we’ve done so many things he considers wrong. Our sins prove that we are guilty. The wrong things we’ve done are always troubling us. We admit that we have sinned.
