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。

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.

失信悖逆與其列祖無異、改變有如弓翻、

不得居於主之地、以法蓮必返伊及、在亞述食不潔之物、

肆口謗毀天主、縱舌評論世人、

主天主如是云、爾必飲爾姊所飲之杯、其杯又深又廣、且所盛者甚多、使爾被人訕笑譏刺已極、

斯民逃避災害、伊及人殮其屍、摩弗人埋其骸、彼以銀得室可悅、或作彼用銀置購華室必長蒺藜、其幕中必生荊棘、

以色列妹悖逆之猶大、行此事後、仍不誠心歸我、佯為歸我、此乃主所言、

邪魔離人、游行旱地、求安而不得、乃曰、不如我仍歸所出之室、既至、則見其室掃除修飾、遂往、又攜七魔惡於己者、偕入而居之、其人之後患、較前尤甚、○

我告爾、凡人所出之虛言、審判日必被究詰、

我困於群獅間、臥於口吐火焰之人中、其人牙如槍如箭、舌如利刃、

耶路撒冷顛蹶、猶大傾仆、因所言所行悖逆主、犯主之榮威、

向主無恆心、無誠心以守主約、

我民當歸誠於我、乃游移不定、我民當歸誠於我乃游移不定或作我民專心背叛我先知勸之歸至上之主、無一人奮興、

主曰、以法蓮乎、我將如何待爾、猶大乎、我將如何待爾、爾之善良、善良或作虔敬猶若朝雲、亦若晨露、立時消散、

所當獻於我之祭、彼獻而自食其肉、或作彼宰牲獻祭於我乃為欲自食其肉我耶和華不悅納之、必念其愆尤、罰其罪惡、使彼往往原文作返伊及、以色列忘造之之主、自建殿宇、猶大多築鞏固之城、我將焚其城邑、燬其宮殿、

彼至所往之異邦、使我聖名被褻瀆、蓋人指彼言、此乃耶和華之民、出於耶和華之地、

彼眾曰、我儕不如設謀、坑害耶利米、攻之以詞、勿聽其所言、蓋祭司非失律法、智者非缺謀略、先知非無預言、

又予獸以口、能言誇大褻瀆之言、又予之權、可任意行事、可任意行事有原文抄本作可任意爭戰凡四十二月、

遺磽地者、指人聽道而喜受之、惟無根、則暫信耳、遇試遂背之、

如是舌為小體、而能誇大、薪甚多、薪甚多或作林甚茂微火可燃、

行詐之人乎、爾舌利如薙刀、捏造毒害之詞、
