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，

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.

They will eat, but not have enough; They will play the prostitute, but not increase, Because they gave up devoting themselves 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, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.

You will eat, but not be satisfied. Even if you have the strength to overtake some prey, you will not be able to carry it away; if you do happen to carry away something, I will deliver it over to the sword.

When I break off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight, and you will eat and not be satisfied.

You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but are never filled. You drink, but are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but are not warm. Those who earn wages end up with holes in their money bags.’”

Ephraim will be like a bird; what they value will fly away. They will not bear children– they will not enjoy pregnancy– they will not even conceive!Even if they raise their children, I will take away every last one of them. Woe to them! For I will turn away from them.Just as lion cubs are born predators, so Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter.Give them, O LORD– what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry, and breasts that cannot nurse!Because of all their evil in Gilgal, I hate them there. On account of their evil deeds, I will drive them out of my land. I will no longer love them; all their rulers are rebels.Ephraim will be struck down– their root will be dried up; they will not yield any fruit. Even if they do bear children, I will kill their precious offspring.My God will reject them, for they have not obeyed him; so they will be fugitives among the nations.

After Jehoiada died, the officials of Judah visited the king and declared their loyalty to him. The king listened to their advice.

The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked lacks food.

The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution, nor your daughters- in- law when they commit adultery. For the men consort with harlots, they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. It is true:“ A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!”

“ But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die.

As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the LORD remove them, along with those who behave wickedly! May Israel experience peace!

So this is what the sovereign LORD says:“ Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry! Look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty! Look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be humiliated!Look, my servants will shout for joy as happiness fills their hearts! But you will cry out as sorrow fills your hearts; you will wail because your spirits will be crushed.Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. The sovereign LORD will kill you, but he will give his servants another name.Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth will do so in the name of the faithful God; whoever makes an oath in the earth will do so in the name of the faithful God. For past problems will be forgotten; I will no longer think about them.

Recently, however, you yourselves showed a change of heart and did what is pleasing to me. You granted your fellow countrymen their freedom and you made a covenant to that effect in my presence in the house that I have claimed for my own.

“ Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.If you do not listen and take seriously the need to honor my name,” says the LORD who rules over all,“ I will send judgment on you and turn your blessings into curses– indeed, I have already done so because you are not taking it to heart.I am about to discipline your children and will spread offal on your faces, the very offal produced at your festivals, and you will be carried away along with it.

and those who turn their backs on the LORD and do not want the LORD’s help or guidance.”

For if after they have escaped the filthy things of the world through the rich knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again get entangled in them and succumb to them, their last state has become worse for them than their first.For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them.They are illustrations of this true proverb:“ A dog returns to its own vomit,” and“ A sow, after washing herself, wallows in the mire.”
