“ Israel, you take delight in worshiping among the sacred oak trees. You will be full of shame for doing that. You have chosen to worship in the sacred gardens. You will be dishonored for doing that.

那等人必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧；你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞。

那等人必因所喜爱的圣树抱愧；你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞，

那等人必因所喜爱的圣树抱愧；你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞，

你们必因在橡树下，在你们选择的园子里祭拜偶像而蒙羞。

你们必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧，必因你们所选择的园子蒙羞。

你们必因你们所喜爱的橡树而蒙羞，因你们所选择的园林而抱愧。

那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧；你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。

那等人必因所喜愛的聖樹抱愧；你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞，

那等人必因所喜愛的聖樹抱愧；你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞，

你們必因在橡樹下，在你們選擇的園子裡祭拜偶像而蒙羞。

你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧，必因你們所選擇的園子蒙羞。

因為你們必因所喜愛的聖篤耨香樹而抱愧，必因所選擇的園林龕而蒙羞。

你們必因你們所喜愛的橡樹而蒙羞，因你們所選擇的園林而抱愧。

爾必因所悅之橡而羞慚、為所擇之園而愧怍、

昔爾在園囿林樹間、奉事偶像、以為悅懌、後必恥之。

爾必因所悅之橡樹抱愧、因所擇之園囿蒙羞、

“ You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks that you desired; and you shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen.

You will be ashamed of your idol worship in groves of sacred oaks. You will blush because you worshiped in gardens dedicated to idols.

Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you desired, and you will be embarrassed because of the garden shrines you have chosen.

You certainly will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be embarrassed by the gardens which you have chosen.

For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees Which you have desired; And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens Which you have chosen.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you desired, and you will be embarrassed because of the gardens you have chosen.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you find so desirable; you will be embarrassed because of the sacred orchards where you choose to worship.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

“ Some people set themselves apart and make themselves pure. They do it so they can go into the gardens to worship other gods. They follow what the worship leader tells them to do. They are among those who eat the meat of pigs and rats. They also eat other‘ unclean’ things. Those people and the one they follow will come to a horrible end,” announces the Lord.

You burn with sinful desire among the oak trees. You worship your gods under every green tree. You sacrifice your children in the valleys. You also do it under the cliffs.

They are always making me very angry. They do it right in front of me. They offer sacrifices in the gardens of other gods. They burn incense on altars that are made out of bricks.

They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops. They burn offerings on the hills. They worship under oak, poplar and terebinth trees. The trees provide plenty of shade. So your daughters become prostitutes. And your daughters- in- law commit adultery.

Then they will know that I am the Lord. Their people will lie dead among the statues of their gods around their altars. Their bodies will lie on every high hill and every mountaintop. They will lie under every green tree and leafy oak tree. They used to offer sweet- smelling incense to all their gods at those places.

All those who make statues of gods will be put to shame. They will be dishonored. They will be led away in shame together.

Then you will get rid of the silver statues of your gods. You won’t have anything to do with the gold statues either. All of them are“ unclean.” So you will throw them away like dirty rags. You will say to them,“ Get away from us!”

You will remember your evil ways and the sinful things you have done. You will hate yourselves because you have sinned so much. I also hate your evil practices.

“ Long ago you broke off the yoke I put on you. You tore off the ropes I tied you up with. You said,‘ I won’t serve you!’ In fact, on every high hill you lay down like a prostitute. You worshiped other gods under every green tree.

You sinned when you made your gods out of silver and gold. The time will come when all of you will turn away from them.

What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!

During the time Josiah was king, the Lord spoke to me. He said,“ Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have not been faithful to me. They have committed adultery with other gods. They worshiped them on every high hill and under every green tree.

Ephraim will have nothing more to do with other gods. I will answer the prayers of my people. I will take good care of them. I will be like a healthy juniper tree to them. All the fruit they bear will come from me.”

Assyria can’t save us. We won’t trust in our war horses. Our own hands have made statues of gods. But we will never call them our gods again. We are like children whose fathers have died. But you show us your tender love.”

I will pay for all the sins you have committed. Then you will remember what you have done. You will be ashamed of it. Because of your shame, you will never speak against me again,” announces the Lord and King.
