Then they said to one another,“ Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.”( They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.)

他们彼此商量说：“来吧！我们要做砖，把砖烧透了。”他们就拿砖当石头，又拿石漆当灰泥。

他们彼此商量说：“来，让我们来做砖，把砖烧透了。”他们就拿砖当石头，又拿柏油当泥浆。

他们彼此商量说：“来，让我们来做砖，把砖烧透了。”他们就拿砖当石头，又拿柏油当泥浆。

他们彼此商量说：“来呀，我们烧些砖吧。”他们用砖作石块，用柏油作水泥来造塔，

他们彼此说：“来，我们做砖，把砖烧透吧！”他们就把砖当作石头，又把石漆当作灰泥。

他们彼此说：“来吧！让我们做砖，用火烧透。”于是他们就用砖代替石头，用沥青代替灰泥。

他們彼此商量說：「來吧！我們要做磚，把磚燒透了。」他們就拿磚當石頭，又拿石漆當灰泥。

他們彼此商量說：「來，讓我們來做磚，把磚燒透了。」他們就拿磚當石頭，又拿柏油當泥漿。

他們彼此商量說：「來呀，我們燒些磚吧。」他們用磚作石塊，用柏油作水泥來造塔，

他們彼此說：“來，我們做磚，把磚燒透吧！”他們就把磚當作石頭，又把石漆當作灰泥。

他們彼此商量說：『來吧！我們作磚，給燒透了。』他們就拿磚當石頭，又拿石漆當灰泥。

他們彼此說：「來吧！讓我們做磚，用火燒透。」於是他們就用磚代替石頭，用瀝青代替灰泥。

彼此互議曰、我其作甎、爇以成之、於是以甎代石、石漆代泥、

彼此互論曰、共相陶瓦爇之以火、於是有瓦以代石、更有石油、以代泥沙。

彼此互議曰、我儕當作甎、爇以成之、於是以甎代石、更以石漆代灰泥、

They said to each other,“ Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.

They said to one another,“ Come on! Let’s make bricks and bake them well.” They used bricks instead of stones. They used tar to hold the bricks together.

And they said to one another,“ Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.

They began saying to each other,“ Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.”( In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.)

They said to each other,“ Come, let’s make oven-fired bricks.”( They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.)

Then they said to one another,“ Come, let’s make bricks and fire them thoroughly.” And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

Then they said to one another,“ Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits. When the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell into them, but some survivors fled to the hills.

They made their lives bitter by hard service with mortar and bricks and by all kinds of service in the fields. Every kind of service the Israelites were required to give was rigorous.

But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile.

These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars.

“ The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”

And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works,

He removed the people who were in it and made them do hard labor with saws, iron picks, and iron axes, putting them to work at the brick kiln. This was his policy with all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.

Now I will inform you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there.

“ You must no longer give straw to the people for making bricks as before. Let them go and collect straw for themselves.But you must require of them the same quota of bricks that they were making before. Do not reduce it, for they are slackers. That is why they are crying,‘ Let us go sacrifice to our God.’Make the work harder for the men so they will keep at it and pay no attention to lying words!”So the slave masters of the people and their foremen went to the Israelites and said,“ Thus says Pharaoh:‘ I am not giving you straw.You go get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, because there will be no reduction at all in your workload.’”So the people spread out through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw.The slave masters were pressuring them, saying,“ Complete your work for each day, just like when there was straw!”The Israelite foremen whom Pharaoh’s slave masters had set over them were beaten and were asked,“ Why did you not complete your requirement for brickmaking as in the past– both yesterday and today?”The Israelite foremen went and cried out to Pharaoh,“ Why are you treating your servants this way?No straw is given to your servants, but we are told,‘ Make bricks!’ Your servants are even being beaten, but the fault is with your people.”But Pharaoh replied,“ You are slackers! Slackers! That is why you are saying,‘ Let us go sacrifice to the LORD.’So now, get back to work! You will not be given straw, but you must still produce your quota of bricks!”

Come now, you who say,“ Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that town and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”

They help one another; one says to the other,‘ Be strong!’The craftsman encourages the metalsmith, the one who wields the hammer encourages the one who pounds on the anvil. He approves the quality of the welding, and nails it down so it won’t fall over.”

Then they said,“ Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth.”

Draw yourselves water for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Trample the mud and tread the clay! Make mud bricks to strengthen your walls!

I thought to myself,“ Come now, I will try self-indulgent pleasure to see if it is worthwhile.” But I found that it also is futile.

Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.”

But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called“ Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception.

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast,“ Who will see them?”

Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.

If they say,“ Come with us! We will lie in wait to shed blood; we will ambush an innocent person capriciously.
