埃及从首领到平民，从权贵到草根必一筹莫展。

埃及中，无论是头与尾，棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。

在埃及，无论是头是尾，棕树枝与芦苇，所做的事都不得成就。

在埃及，无论是头是尾，棕树枝与芦苇，所做的事都不得成就。

无论是头是尾，是棕枝是芦苇，都不能为埃及成就什么。

埃及中，無論是頭與尾，棕枝與蘆葦，所做之工都不成就。

在埃及，無論是頭是尾，棕樹枝與蘆葦，所做的事都不得成就。

在埃及，無論是頭是尾，棕樹枝與蘆葦，所做的事都不得成就。

埃及從首領到平民，從權貴到草根必一籌莫展。

無論是頭或尾、棕枝或蘆葦所作的，都不能為埃及成就甚麼事。

也沒有甚麼事、是任何人可為埃及作的，無論他是頭是尾，是棕枝是燈草。

埃及首尾、椶枝蘆葦、無一事之可為、○

埃及人自尊逮卑、自國之棟梁、至民之微賤、皆無職事。

伊及人無論尊如首、卑若尾、貴重若㯶枝、輕賤若蘆葦、凡其所為、一無所成、

There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm branch or reed.

No one in Egypt can do anything to help them. Its elders and important leaders can’t help them. Its prophets and priests can’t do anything. Those who rule over others can’t help. And those who bow down to them can’t help either.

And there will be nothing for Egypt that head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.

There is nothing Egypt can do. All are helpless— the head and the tail, the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.

No head or tail, palm or reed, will be able to do anything for Egypt.

There will be no work for Egypt Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.

Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail, Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm- branch or rush, may do.

No head or tail, palm or reed, will be able to do anything for Egypt.

Neither shall there be[ any] work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

Egypt will not be able to do a thing, head or tail, shoots and stalk.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.

因此，耶和华要在一日之间铲除以色列的头和尾。头是指他们的长老和首领，尾是指教人虚谎之事的假先知。

你必享受自己的劳动成果，得到祝福，行事亨通。

我让旱灾临到大地、群山、五谷、葡萄、橄榄等地里的出产以及人畜，使你们一切的劳碌付诸东流。’”

你们要立志过安分守己的生活，亲手做工，正如我们以前吩咐你们的。这样，你们可以得到外人的尊敬，不必依赖任何人。

即使无花果树不发芽，葡萄树不结果，橄榄树无收成，田地不产粮，圈里没有羊，棚里没有牛，

殷勤工作，带来益处；满嘴空谈，导致贫穷。
