埃及人必失魂落魄；我要使他们的计划混乱。他们必求问偶像、阴魂、招魂的和通灵的；

埃及人的心神必在里面耗尽；我必败坏他们的谋略。他们必求问偶像和念咒的、交鬼的、行巫术的。

埃及人的心神在里面耗尽，我要破坏他们的计谋。他们必求问偶像和念咒的，求问招魂的与行巫术的人。

埃及人的心神在里面耗尽，我要破坏他们的计谋。他们必求问偶像和念咒的，求问招魂的与行巫术的人。

埃及人必灰心丧志，我必破坏他们的计谋。他们必求问偶像、巫师、灵媒和术士。

埃及人的意志必消沉，我要破坏他们的计谋；他们必求问偶像、念咒的、交鬼的和行巫术的。

埃及人的心神必在裏面耗盡；我必敗壞他們的謀略。他們必求問偶像和念咒的、交鬼的、行巫術的。

埃及人的心神在裏面耗盡，我要破壞他們的計謀。他們必求問偶像和念咒的，求問招魂的與行巫術的人。

埃及人的意志必消沉，我要破壞他們的計謀；他們必求問偶像、念咒的、交鬼的和行巫術的。

埃及人心裏都很狼狽徬徨；我必混亂他們的計謀；他們必求問神明和念念有詞的、交鬼的和行巫術的。

埃及人必失魂落魄；我要使他們的計劃混亂。他們必求問偶像、陰魂、招魂的和通靈的；

埃及人心志衰頹、其謀為我所敗、必詢於偶像、與持呪者、巫覡及術士、

伊及人必失慧於心、其謀為我所敗、必問於偶像、念咒者、交鬼者、占卜者、

The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists.

The people of Egypt will lose hope. I will keep them from doing what they plan to do. They will ask their gods for advice. They will turn to the spirits of dead people for help. They will go to people who get messages from those who have died. They will ask for advice from people who talk to the spirits of the dead.

and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will confound their counsel; and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers;

The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will confuse their plans. They will plead with their idols for wisdom and call on spirits, mediums, and those who consult the spirits of the dead.

Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it, and I will frustrate its plans. Then they will inquire of worthless idols, ghosts, mediums, and spiritists.

Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confuse their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead, And to mediums and spiritists.

The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it, and I will frustrate its plans. Then they will seek idols, ghosts, spirits of the dead, and spiritists.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

The Egyptians will panic, and I will confuse their strategy. They will seek guidance from the idols and from the spirits of the dead, from the pits used to conjure up underworld spirits, and from the magicians.

The spirit of Egypt will fail within it. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.

尽管有人对你们说：“求问那些喃喃自语、念念有词的招魂者和通灵者吧”，但百姓难道不应当求问自己的神吗？难道应当为活人求问死人吗？

于是王吩咐人召来术士、占卜者、行巫术的和迦勒底人，要他们把王的梦告诉王。他们就来了，站在王面前。

有关埃及的默示：看哪，耶和华乘驾飞快的云，即将临到埃及！埃及的偶像将在他面前颤抖，埃及人都心融胆丧。

坚持施行你的符咒和众多法术吧！那些都是你从年轻时辛劳所得的，或许你能得益处，或许还能让人恐惧呢！

因此我发出命令，要把巴比伦的所有智慧人带到我面前，好让他们把梦的释义显明给我。于是术士、占卜者、迦勒底人和算命者都来了；我就向他们说了这梦，他们却不能把这梦的释义显明给我。

他们摇摇晃晃，东倒西歪，好像醉酒的人，他们一切的智慧都毫无用处。

要知道，万军之耶和华已经策划了，有谁能破坏呢？他的手已经伸出了，有谁能使其收回呢？

他挫败领袖们的心志，被地上的君王所敬畏。

我必不永远责备，也不长久发怒，否则人的灵——我所造的生命气息，在我面前就会衰竭。

王大声高呼，要人把占卜者、迦勒底人和算命者带来。王开口对巴比伦的智慧人说：“任何人读出这文字，并把它的释义讲明给我，他就必身穿紫袍，项戴金链，在国中掌权，位居第三。”

我破坏假先知的预兆，使占卜者显为愚妄；我颠覆了智慧人，使他们的知识变为愚拙；

摩押人上神庙、迪本人上高所去哭泣；摩押人为尼波和米底巴哀号；各人头上光秃，胡须剃尽。

琐安的首领们极其愚妄，法老最智慧的谋士们所出的谋略都是愚拙！你们怎么能对法老说“我是智慧人的子孙，是古代君王的后裔”？你的智慧人在哪里呢？让他们告诉你吧，让他们去明白万军之耶和华对埃及所策划的！琐安的首领们愚昧，挪弗的首领们被欺哄；埃及众支派中当房角石的，使埃及人迷失。

任何的智慧、聪慧和谋略，都无法在耶和华面前站立得住。

到了早晨，纳巴尔酒醒后，他的妻子把这些事告诉他，他就失去了意识，身体变得硬如石头。

因为在神看来，这世界的智慧就是愚拙；原来经上记着：“神使智慧人落入自己的诡计中”；又说：“主知道智慧人的思想是虚妄的。”
