They will eat, but not have enough; They will play the prostitute, but not increase, Because they gave up devoting themselves to the Lord.

他们吃，却不得饱；行淫，而不得立后；因为他们离弃耶和华，不遵他的命。”

他们吃，却不得饱足；行淫，却不繁衍；因为他们离弃耶和华，常行

他们吃，却不得饱足；行淫，却不繁衍；因为他们离弃耶和华，常行

使你们吃却不得饱足，行淫却不得后代。因为你们背弃耶和华，

他们吃，却吃不饱；行淫，人数却不会增多；因为他们离弃了耶和华，不遵守他的命令。

他們吃，卻不得飽；行淫，而不得立後；因為他們離棄耶和華，不遵他的命。

他們吃，卻不得飽足；行淫，卻不繁衍；因為他們離棄耶和華，常行

他們吃，卻不得飽足；行淫，卻不繁衍；因為他們離棄耶和華，常行

使你們吃卻不得飽足，行淫卻不得後代。因為你們背棄耶和華，

他們吃，卻吃不飽；行淫，人數卻不會增多；因為他們離棄了耶和華，不遵守他的命令。

他們喫，也喫不飽；他們行淫，卻不能得滿意；因為他們離棄了永恆主去躭於行淫。

彼將食而不飽、淫而不育、因其棄耶和華、而不從之、

彼不崇我耶和華、過飽則臟腑傷、過淫則生育寡、

雖食不得飽、與婦交、不增人、因違棄主、不守法度、

“ They will eat but not have enough; they will engage in prostitution but not flourish, because they have deserted the Lord to give themselves

“ My people will eat. But they will not have enough. They will have sex with prostitutes. But they will not have any children. That’s because they have deserted me. They have sex

They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the whore, but not multiply, because they have forsaken the Lord to cherish

They will eat and still be hungry. They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it, for they have deserted the Lord

They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have abandoned their devotion to the LORD.

For they shall eat, but not have enough; They shall commit harlotry, but not increase; Because they have ceased obeying the Lord.

And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.

They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.

For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

They will eat, but not be satisfied; they will engage in prostitution, but not increase in numbers; because they have abandoned the LORD by pursuing other gods.

They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.

You will eat, but you will not be satisfied, And your filth will be in your midst. You will try to remove valuables for safekeeping, But you will not save it all, And what you do save I will turn over to the sword.

When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread in rationed amounts, so that you will eat and not be satisfied.

You have sown much, only to harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but there is not enough for anyone to get warm; and the one who earns, earns wages to put into a money bag full of holes.”

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird— No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them of their children until not a person is left. Yes, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pasture like Tyre; But Ephraim is going to bring out his children for slaughter.Give to them, Lord— what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dried up breasts.All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will no longer love them; All their leaders are rebels.Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, They will produce no fruit. Even though they give birth to children, I will put to death the precious ones of their womb.My God will reject them Because they have not listened to Him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.

But after the death of Jehoiada the officials of Judah came and bowed down to the king, and the king listened to them.

The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of the wicked is in need.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, Or your brides when they commit adultery, Because the men themselves slip away with the prostitutes And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; So the people without understanding are ruined.

“ But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead them away with those who practice injustice. Peace be upon Israel.

Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:“ Behold, My servants will eat, but you will be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.Behold, My servants will shout joyfully with a glad heart, But you will cry out from a painful heart, And you will wail from a broken spirit.You will leave your name as a curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord God will put you to death. But My servants will be called by another name.Because the one who is blessed on the earth Will be blessed by the God of truth; And the one who swears an oath on the earth Will swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight!

Although recently you had turned and done what is right in My sight, each one proclaiming release to his neighbor, and you had made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name.

“ And now, this commandment is for you, the priests.If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the Lord of armies,“ then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.Behold, I am going to rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

And those who have turned back from following the Lord, And those who have not sought the Lord nor inquired of Him.”

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.It has happened to them according to the true proverb,“ A dog returns to its own vomit,” and,“ A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
