他们回转，却不肯转向至高者，他们就像无用的断弓。他们的首领要因出言狂妄而丧身刀下，成为埃及人的笑柄。

他们归向，却不归向至上者；他们如同翻背的弓。他们的首领必因舌头的狂傲倒在刀下；这在埃及地必作人的讥笑。”

他们归向，但不是归向至上者；终究必如松弛的弓。他们的领袖必因舌头的狂傲倒在刀下，这在埃及地必成为人的笑柄。

他们转向巴力，成了不可靠的弓。他们的领袖因自己舌头上的狂傲倒在刀下，这在埃及地必成为被人讥笑的对象。”

他們歸向，卻不歸向至上者；他們如同翻背的弓。他們的首領必因舌頭的狂傲倒在刀下；這在埃及地必作人的譏笑。

他們歸向，但不是歸向至上者；終究必如鬆弛的弓。他們的領袖必因舌頭的狂傲倒在刀下，這在埃及地必成為人的笑柄。

他們轉向巴力，成了不可靠的弓。他們的領袖因自己舌頭上的狂傲倒在刀下，這在埃及地必成為被人譏笑的對象。”

他們轉向於巴力；如同乖張的弓；他們的首領必因其舌頭之傲氣而倒斃於刀下：這在埃及地必成了人們嗤笑的對象。

彼雖回轉、然不向上、有若偏反之弓、其牧伯口出狂言、必仆於刃、在埃及地為人姍笑、

彼所歸誠者、非至上之主、如弦絕弓反、口出妄言、諸牧伯亡於鋒刃、為埃及人姍笑。

彼所歸誠者、非至上之主、彼如已翻之弓、其侯伯殞亡於刃、因其口出狂言、必因此為伊及國之人所姍笑、

They do not turn to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent words. For this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.

I am the Most High God. But they do not turn to me. They are like a bow that does not shoot straight. Their leaders will be killed by swords. They will die because they have spoken too proudly. The people of Egypt will make fun of them.”

They return, but not upward; they are like a treacherous bow; their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

They look everywhere except to the Most High. They are as useless as a crooked bow. Their leaders will be killed by their enemies because of their insolence toward me. Then the people of Egypt will laugh at them.

They turn, but not to what is above; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent tongue. They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.

They turn, but not upward, They are like a loose bow; Their officials will fall by the sword Because of the insolence of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

They return, but not to the Most High; They are like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword For the cursings of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

They return, but not to him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

They turn to Baal; they are like an unreliable bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because their prayers to Baal have made me angry. So people will disdain them in the land of Egypt.

They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

他们跟祖先一样背信弃义，像断弓一样毫不可靠。

你们将不能再住在耶和华的土地上。以法莲要返回埃及，在亚述吃不洁之物。

他们亵渎上天，诋毁大地。

“主耶和华说，“‘你必喝你姐姐那又大又深的杯，成为人们耻笑和辱骂的对象。

即使你们逃脱毁灭之灾，埃及人也要把你们聚集起来，在摩弗埋葬你们。你们的珍贵银器要散落在荆棘中，你们的帐篷中要长满蒺藜。

他们说：“我们必靠舌头制胜，嘴唇是我们自己的，谁管得着我们？”

尽管如此，她不忠的妹妹犹大只是假装归向我，并不诚心。这是耶和华说的。”

“有个污鬼离开了它以前所附的人，在干旱无水之地四处游荡，寻找安歇之处，却没有找到。于是它说，‘我要回到老地方。’它回去后，看见里面打扫得又干净又整齐，就去带来了七个比自己更邪恶的鬼一起住在那里。那人的下场比从前更惨了。”

我告诉你们，在审判之日，人将为自己所说的每一句闲话负责，

我被狮子包围，躺卧在吃人的野兽中。他们的牙齿是矛和箭，舌头是尖刀。

耶路撒冷必崩溃，犹大必败落，因为他们的言行冒犯耶和华，蔑视荣耀的主。

他们不忠于祂，也不信守祂的约。

我的子民执意离我而去，他们虽然求告至高的我，我也不会拯救他们。

耶和华说：“以法莲啊，我该怎样待你呢？犹大啊，我该怎样待你呢？你们对我的爱像晨雾，如转瞬即逝的朝露。

因为义人罗得住在他们当中，天天耳闻目睹他们一切无法无天的丑行，他正直的心很痛苦。

他们有祸了，因为他们背弃我！他们要被毁灭了，因为他们背叛我！我要救赎他们，他们却向我撒谎。

他们献给我祭牲，并吃祭肉，但不蒙耶和华的悦纳。我必记住他们的罪恶，追讨他们的罪债，使他们回到埃及。以色列忘记了他们的创造主，建造许多宫殿；犹大兴建许多坚城。但我要降火烧毁他们的城邑和堡垒。”

他们无论分散到何处，都使我的圣名受到亵渎，因为外族人都谈论他们说，‘这些人是耶和华的子民，却不得不离开耶和华的土地。’

他们说：“来！我们设计对付耶利米吧，反正我们有祭司教导律法，有智者出谋划策，有先知传讲预言。来吧！我们抨击他，不要理会他的话。”

巨龙又使怪兽说狂妄、亵渎的话，并给它权柄，可以任意妄为四十二个月。

种子落在盖着浅土的石头地上是指人听了道，欣然接受了，但是没有根基，只是暂时相信，一遇到试炼就放弃了。

同样，人的舌头虽然很小，却能说夸大的话。看啊，小火星能点燃大森林。

你这诡诈的人啊，舌头利如剃刀，尽是害人的奸计。
