You will be like a great tree with withered leaves, like a garden without water.

因为，你们必如叶子枯干的橡树，好像无水浇灌的园子。

因为你们必如叶子枯干的橡树，如无水的园子。

因为你们必如叶子枯干的橡树，如无水的园子。

你们必像枯萎的橡树，又如无水的园子。

因为你们必像一棵叶子凋落的橡树，又如一个缺水的园子。

因为你们必像叶子凋零的橡树，又如无水的园林。

因為，你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹，好像無水澆灌的園子。

因為你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹，如無水的園子。

因為你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹，如無水的園子。

你們必像枯萎的橡樹，又如無水的園子。

蓋爾必似枯葉之橡、無水之園、

譬彼橡樹、枝葉已枯、譬彼園囿、灌溉無資、爾其似之。

爾必似葉枯之橡樹、無水之園囿、

You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water.

You will be like an oak tree whose leaves are dying. You will be like a garden that doesn’t have any water.

For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water.

For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, and like a garden without water.

For you will be like an oak whose leaf withers away, Or like a garden that has no water.

For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no water.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, and like a garden without water.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither, like an orchard that is unwatered.

For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

“ So now the Sovereign Lord asks: Will this vine grow and prosper? No! I will pull it up, roots and all! I will cut off its fruit and let its leaves wither and die. I will pull it up easily without a strong arm or a large army.But when the vine is transplanted, will it thrive? No, it will wither away when the east wind blows against it. It will die in the same good soil where it had grown so well.”

I will make it a wild place where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed, a place overgrown with briers and thorns. I will command the clouds to drop no rain on it.

and he noticed a fig tree beside the road. He went over to see if there were any figs, but there were only leaves. Then he said to it,“ May you never bear fruit again!” And immediately the fig tree withered up.

Deep springs watered it and helped it to grow tall and luxuriant. The water flowed around it like a river, streaming to all the trees nearby.This great tree towered high, higher than all the other trees around it. It prospered and grew long thick branches because of all the water at its roots.The birds nested in its branches, and in its shade all the wild animals gave birth. All the great nations of the world lived in its shadow.It was strong and beautiful, with wide spreading branches, for its roots went deep into abundant water.No other cedar in the garden of God could rival it. No cypress had branches to equal it; no plane tree had boughs to compare. No tree in the garden of God came close to it in beauty.Because I made this tree so beautiful, and gave it such magnificent foliage, it was the envy of all the other trees of Eden, the garden of God.“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because Egypt became proud and arrogant, and because it set itself so high above the others, with its top reaching to the clouds,I will hand it over to a mighty nation that will destroy it as its wickedness deserves. I have already discarded it.A foreign army— the terror of the nations— has cut it down and left it fallen on the ground. Its branches are scattered across the mountains and valleys and ravines of the land. All those who lived in its shadow have gone away and left it lying there.“ The birds roost on its fallen trunk, and the wild animals lie among its branches.Let the tree of no other nation proudly exult in its own prosperity, though it be higher than the clouds and it be watered from the depths. For all are doomed to die, to go down to the depths of the earth. They will land in the pit along with everyone else on earth.“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When Assyria went down to the grave, I made the deep springs mourn. I stopped its rivers and dried up its abundant water. I clothed Lebanon in black and caused the trees of the field to wilt.I made the nations shake with fear at the sound of its fall, for I sent it down to the grave with all the others who descend to the pit. And all the other proud trees of Eden, the most beautiful and the best of Lebanon, the ones whose roots went deep into the water, took comfort to find it there with them in the depths of the earth.Its allies, too, were all destroyed and had passed away. They had gone down to the grave— all those nations that had lived in its shade.“ O Egypt, to which of the trees of Eden will you compare your strength and glory? You, too, will be brought down to the depths with all these other nations. You will lie there among the outcasts who have died by the sword. This will be the fate of Pharaoh and all his hordes. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

And all the trees will know that it is I, the Lord, who cuts the tall tree down and makes the short tree grow tall. It is I who makes the green tree wither and gives the dead tree new life. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I said!”

They will come home and sing songs of joy on the heights of Jerusalem. They will be radiant because of the Lord’s good gifts— the abundant crops of grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the healthy flocks and herds. Their life will be like a watered garden, and all their sorrows will be gone.

This is what the Lord says:“ Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.

The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well watered garden, like an ever flowing spring.
