“ Don’t point your finger at someone else and try to pass the blame! My complaint, you priests, is with you.

“然而，人都不必争辩，也不必指责，因为这民与抗拒祭司的人一样。

然而，人都不必争辩，也不必指责。你的百姓与抗拒祭司的人一样。

然而，人都不必争辩，也不必指责。你的百姓与抗拒祭司的人一样。

耶和华说：“谁都不要指控别人，谁都不要责备别人，因为我要指控的是你们祭司。

虽然这样，人人都不必争论，不要彼此指责。你的民像争辩的祭司一样。

然而，人都不必爭辯，也不必指責，因為這民與抗拒祭司的人一樣。

然而，人都不必爭辯，也不必指責。你的百姓與抗拒祭司的人一樣。

然而，人都不必爭辯，也不必指責。你的百姓與抗拒祭司的人一樣。

耶和華說：「誰都不要指控別人，誰都不要責備別人，因為我要指控的是你們祭司。

雖然這樣，人人都不必爭論，不要彼此指責。你的民像爭辯的祭司一樣。

然而人都不必爭辯，人也不必指責；祭司啊，我的爭辯是針對着你的。

但人勿相爭、勿相責、蓋爾民如與祭司爭者然、

規諫無人、民逆祭司、

無人審鞫、無人指責、爾民若抗逆祭司者、

“ But let no one bring a charge, let no one accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.

“ But you priests should not blame the people. You should not find fault with one another. After all, your people could also bring charges against you.

Yet let no one contend, and let none accuse, for with you is my contention, O priest.

But let no one dispute; let no one argue, for my case is against you priests.

Yet let no one find fault, and let no one rebuke; For your people are like those who contend with a priest.

“ Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.

Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

But let no one dispute; let no one argue, for My case is against you priests.

Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people[ are] as they that strive with the priest.

Do not let anyone accuse or contend against anyone else: for my case is against you priests!

“ Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the Lord your God must die. In this way you will purge the evil from Israel.

So those who are smart keep their mouths shut, for it is an evil time.

Leave Israel alone, because she is married to idolatry.

“ And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?How can you think of saying to your friend,‘ Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.“ Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.

Then the people said,“ Come on, let’s plot a way to stop Jeremiah. We have plenty of priests and wise men and prophets. We don’t need him to teach the word and give us advice and prophecies. Let’s spread rumors about him and ignore what he says.”

And when a relative who is responsible to dispose of the dead goes into the house to carry out the bodies, he will ask the last survivor,“ Is anyone else with you?” When the person begins to swear,“ No, by...,” he will interrupt and say,“ Stop! Don’t even mention the name of the Lord.”)

And I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be speechless and unable to rebuke them, for they are rebels.
