And Ephraim said,“ I have certainly become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No wrongdoing, which would be sin.”

以法莲说：‘我果然成了富足，得了财宝；我所劳碌得来的，人必不见有什么不义，可算为罪的。’

以法莲说：我果然富有，得了财宝；我所劳碌得来的一切，人必找不到我有什么可算为有罪的恶。

以法莲说：我果然富有，得了财宝；我所劳碌得来的一切，人必找不到我有什么可算为有罪的恶。

以法莲说：“我发财了，我依靠自己致富。没有人能从我的劳碌中找出过错和罪恶。”

以法莲说：“我成了富翁，我为自己发了财；在我所有的收益中，人不能找出我有什么罪孽，可算为罪恶的。”

以法蓮說：我果然成了富足，得了財寶；我所勞碌得來的，人必不見有甚麼不義，可算為罪的。

以法蓮說：我果然富有，得了財寶；我所勞碌得來的一切，人必找不到我有甚麼可算為有罪的惡

以法蓮說：我果然富有，得了財寶；我所勞碌得來的一切，人必找不到我有甚麼可算為有罪的惡。

以法蓮說：「我發財了，我依靠自己致富。沒有人能從我的勞碌中找出過錯和罪惡。」

以法蓮說：“我成了富翁，我為自己發了財；在我所有的收益中，人不能找出我有甚麼罪孽，可算為罪惡的。”

以法蓮為自己辯護說：『啊，我居然成了巨富了，我為自己得了貨財了』；但他獲得的利必不足以抵銷他所犯的罪。

以法蓮自謂、我誠富有、已得貨財、凡我勞而獲者、人不得見我有不義、可視為罪、

自稱富有、以為所得之貨財、由於勤勞、未嘗蹈於罪戾、

以法蓮自謂我已富有、已獲貨財、凡我由勤勞所得者、人必不見我有不義、不義原文作愆尤有獲罪之處、

Ephraim boasts,“ I am very rich; I have become wealthy. With all my wealth they will not find in me any iniquity or sin.”

People of Ephraim, you brag,“ We are very rich. We’ve become wealthy. And no one can prove we sinned to gain all this wealth.”

Ephraim has said,“ Ah, but I am rich; I have found wealth for myself; in all my labors they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”

Israel boasts,“ I am rich! I’ve made a fortune all by myself! No one has caught me cheating! My record is spotless!”

But Ephraim thinks,“ How rich I have become; I made it all myself. In all my earnings, no one can find any iniquity in me that I can be punished for!”

And Ephraim said,‘ Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’

And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.

But Ephraim says:“ How rich I have become; I made it all myself. In all my earnings, no one can find any crime in me that I can be punished for!”

And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance:[ in] all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that[ were] sin.

Ephraim boasts,“ I am very rich! I have become wealthy! In all that I have done to gain my wealth, no one can accuse me of any offense that is actually sinful.”

Ephraim said,“ Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won’t find in me any iniquity that is sin.”

Because you say,“ I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,

Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly rely on robbery; If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says,“ I have done no wrong.”

Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches?

There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.

Otherwise, you may say in your heart,‘ My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’

Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and each of those who sell them says,‘ Blessed be the Lord, for I have become rich!’ And their own shepherds have no compassion for them.

You said,‘ I am innocent; Surely His anger is turned away from me.’ Behold, I will enter into judgment with you Because you say,‘ I have not sinned.’

and constant friction between people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

“ Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his evil desire.”

“ If I have put my confidence in gold, And called fine gold my trust,If I have gloated because my wealth was great, And because my hand had obtained so much;

No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

And I will say to myself,“ You have many goods stored up for many years to come; relax, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!” ’

“ Your words have been arrogant against Me,” says the Lord.“ Yet you say,‘ What have we spoken against You?’

“ How can you say,‘ I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baals’? Look at your way in the valley! Know what you have done! You are a swift young camel running about senselessly on her ways,

Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net And burn incense to their fishing net, Because through these things their catch is large, And their food is plentiful.

Furthermore, wine betrays an arrogant man, So that he does not achieve his objective. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, And he is like death, never satisfied. He also gathers to himself all the nations And collects to himself all the peoples.“ Will all of these not take up a song of ridicule against him, Even a saying and insinuations against him And say,‘ Woe to him who increases what is not his— For how long— And makes himself rich with debts!’

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

For he has said,“ By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this, Because I have understanding; And I removed the boundaries of the peoples And plundered their treasures, And like a powerful man I brought down their inhabitants,And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest, And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; And there was not one that flapped its wing, opened its beak, or chirped.”

And He said to them,“ You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts; because that which is highly esteemed among people is detestable in the sight of God.

You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say,“ How have we wearied Him?” In that you say,“ Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them,” or,“ Where is the God of justice?”

But wanting to justify himself, he said to Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?”
