曰、禍哉、禍哉、大邑乎、素衣枲布紫絳、飾以金珠寶石者乎、

使虐爾者自食其肉、自醉其血、若飲醇醪、凡有血氣者、咸知我耶和華、乃救爾贖爾之主、雅各之全能者也、

謂之曰、我將為爾先導、平治崎嶇、碎銅門、折鐵楗、錫爾貯於暗中之寶、藏於隱處之財、俾知以名呼爾者、乃我耶和華以色列之上帝也、

我欲知第四獸之實、以其異於他獸、甚可畏懼、其牙為鐵、其爪為銅、吞噬碎裂、足踐所餘、又欲知其首之十角、及生於其中之一角、使三角墜於其前者、是角有目、有口出言誇大、其狀大於他角、我視之、見斯角與聖民戰而獲勝、迨年高者至、為至上者之聖民伸冤、聖民得國之期已屆、侍者曰、第四獸、即在世之第四國、異於諸國、將吞噬天下、踐而碎之、其十角即十王、將由此國而興、其後有一王起、異於前者、將服三王、彼出言逆至上者、銷磨其聖民、意欲改易節期法律、聖民將付於其手、歷一載二載半載、

我必遣召北方諸族、及我僕巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒、導之以攻斯土、與其居民、暨四周諸國、我必滅之、使之令人駭異、為人嗤笑、永久荒蕪、耶和華言之矣、且我必於其中、絕其歡欣喜樂之聲、新娶者及新婦之聲、旋磨之音、燈火之光、斯土必盡荒蕪、令人駭異、維此諸國、將服事巴比倫王、歷七十年、七十年既竟、我必罰巴比倫王與其國、及迦勒底人之地、使之永久荒蕪、以治其罪、耶和華言之矣、凡我所言、錄於此書、即耶利米論列邦所預言者、必臨於其國、蓋有多國大王、必使其人服役、我必依其所行、及其手所作以報之、○

上帝室中大小器皿、以及寶物、並王與牧伯之寶物、悉攜至巴比倫、

迦勒底女子歟、其默然而坐、入於幽暗、蓋爾不復稱為列邦之主母、

巴比倫乃列國中之尊榮、迦勒底人所誇之華美、將若所多瑪蛾摩拉、為上帝所傾覆、

寰區荒落、城邑傾圮、不令俘虜返故土者、乃斯人耶、

錫安民曰、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒噬我毀我、棄我如空器、吞我如鱷魚、以我珍饈果腹、驅我而出、彼虐遇我、暨我骨肉、願罪歸巴比倫、耶路撒冷民曰、彼流我血、願罪歸迦勒底居民、

吾今以此諸國、付於我僕巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒手、亦錫以田野之畜、俾供其役、列邦必服事之、延及子孫、迨其國之期既屆、則有多國大王、使之服役、

爾為我戰鬥之椎及器械、我必用爾碎諸國、毀列邦、用爾碎馬與乘之者、用爾碎車與駕之者、用爾碎男女老幼、用爾碎少者處女、用爾碎牧者、與其羣羊、用爾碎農夫、與其雙牛、用爾碎方伯州牧、耶和華曰、昔巴比倫人、暨迦勒底居民、在錫安所行之惡、我必報之、使爾目睹、○

天乎、諸聖徒與使徒及先知乎、宜因之而樂、蓋上帝以爾之鞫鞫彼也、○

斯眾豈不以譬詞諷之、以隱語嘲之曰、禍哉其人、聚斂非己之財、擔負典質之重、伊於胡底、剝削爾者、豈不勃興乎、窘迫爾者、豈不亟起乎、爾必為其所虜之物、因爾刦掠多邦、流人之血、行強暴於其地其邑、及凡居於其中者、諸國之遺民、亦必刦掠爾、○獲不義之財、以富其家、營巢於高處、以避凶暴之手、其人禍哉、爾之所謀、翦滅多民、貽羞爾家、自取罪戾、壁中之石將呼、木中之梁將應、○以血建邑、以惡築城、其人禍哉、

又予之權、使以生氣賦於像、使之能言、且令凡不拜獸像者見殺、亦令卑與尊、貧與富、主與僕、皆受印誌、或於右手、或於額上、若無其印誌、即獸之名、或其名之數、則不得買與賣也、

耶和華歟、我呼籲、爾不垂聽、將至何時、我因強暴呼籲爾、爾不施援、胡為使我見奸惡、爾奚觀橫逆乎、殘賊強暴、在於我前、怨隙爭鬥、紛然並起、緣此法律廢弛、公義不彰、惡者環繞義人、公義顯然違反、爾其觀於列邦、甚為駭異、當爾之日、我行一事、人雖告爾、爾不之信、我將興起迦勒底人是乃殘酷暴躁之邦、徧行大地、據非己之居所、彼矜嚴可畏、使威行鞫、悉由於己、其馬疾於豹、猛於暮出之狼、騎兵奔騰、來自遠方、疾飛如急食之鷹、彼之來也、為行強暴、奮勇直前、聚厥俘虜、如沙之多、藐視君王、姍笑牧伯、譏嘲保障、築壘而下之、

蓋厥罪滔天、上帝憶其不義、彼之加諸人者、亦加諸彼、依其所行而倍之、於其所調之杯、亦倍調予之、彼昔自榮與奢華若何、使之痛苦悲哀亦若何、蓋彼自謂我位后矣、非嫠也、決不至悲哀也、故一日間、諸災並臻、即死亡悲哀饑荒、盡焚以火、蓋鞫之之主上帝、乃有能者也、

我聞掌水之使者云、義哉、今在昔在維聖者歟、因爾如是而鞫也、以彼流聖徒及先知之血、今爾以血飲之宜也、

我必以之置於虐爾者之手、彼曾謂爾云、曲爾躬、俾我踰越、爾遂伏地、任其踐履、若行通衢、

爾行強暴於利巴嫩、加殘害於羣獸、使之驚怖、且流人血、行強暴於其地其邑、及凡居於其中者、必反乎爾、○

戰鬥傾覆之聲、聞於境內、擊全地之鎚、奚斷折乎、巴比倫在列國中、奚荒蕪乎、

我必付之於敵、播散於天下萬國、俾遭禍害、在我驅至之處、受凌辱、為話柄、被訕笑、服呪詛、

凡有居民之處、野獸飛鳥、悉付爾手、俾爾治之、金首即爾也、

我發忿震怒、行鞫懲責於爾時、四周之國、以為可辱可譏、可戒可異、我耶和華言之矣、

彼曾以怒攻諸民、而擊之不已、以恚迫列邦、而莫之能止、

金奚晦闇、精金奚變色兮、聖所之石、傾於諸街隅兮、

又見此婦醉於聖徒及證耶穌者之血、我見之則奇甚、

因其負重之軛、撻背之杖、暴者之梃、爾已折之、若於米甸之日、
