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.’

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、

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!”

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.”

whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say,‘ Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them.

Yet you say,‘ Because I am innocent, Surely His anger shall turn from me.’ Behold, I will plead My case against you, Because you say,‘ I have not sinned.’

And I will say to my soul,“ Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’

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

“ How can you say,‘ I am not polluted, I have not gone after the Baals’? See your way in the valley; Know what you have done: You are a swift dromedary breaking loose in her ways,

“ Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a proud man, And he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges his desire as hell, And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied, He gathers to himself all nations And heaps up for himself all peoples.“ Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say,‘ Woe to him who increases What is not his— how long?

And He said to them,“ You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

You have wearied the Lord with your words; Yet you say,“ In what way 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?”
