Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and its cover too small to wrap up in.

原来，床榻短，使人不能舒身；被窝窄，使人不能遮体。

床榻短，人不能伸展；被子窄，人无从裹身。

床榻短，人不能伸展；被子窄，人无从裹身。

你们的床太小，不能舒身；你们的被子太窄，不足裹身。

床铺太短，人就不能伸直，被窝太窄，就盖不住全身。

床铺太短，伸不直身子；被子太窄，裹不住全身。

原來，牀榻短，使人不能舒身；被窩窄，使人不能遮體。

床榻短，人不能伸展；被子窄，人無從裹身。

床榻短，人不能伸展；被子窄，人無從裹身。

你們的床太小，不能舒身；你們的被子太窄，不足裹身。

床鋪太短，人就不能伸直，被窩太窄，就蓋不住全身。

因為床鋪太短，手腳伸不直；手腳縮作一團，被窩又太窄。

床鋪太短，伸不直身子；被子太窄，裹不住全身。

榻短不能舒體、被狹不能蔽身、

諺云、床榻甚短、不能暢其四肢、衾裯甚狹、不能蔽其全體、

其勢必如床短不能舒身、被狹不足蔽體、

The bed is too short to stretch out on, the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.

You will be like someone whose bed is too short to lie down on. You will be like those whose blankets are too small to wrap themselves in.

For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.

The bed you have made is too short to lie on. The blankets are too narrow to cover you.

Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and its cover too small to wrap up in.

The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.

For the bed is too short to stretch out on, And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.

For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

For the bed is shorter than that[ a man] can stretch himself[ on it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself[ in it].

For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap around oneself.

For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.

What should we say then? Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness— namely the righteousness that comes from faith.But Israel, pursuing the law for righteousness, has not achieved the righteousness of the law.Why is that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.

One slaughters an ox, one kills a man; one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck; one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood; one offers incense, one praises an idol— all these have chosen their ways and delight in their detestable practices.So I will choose their punishment, and I will bring on them what they dread because I called and no one answered; I spoke and they didn’t hear; they did what was evil in My sight and chose what I didn’t delight in.You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the Lord:“ Your brothers who hate and exclude you because of Me have said,‘ Let the Lord be glorified so that we can see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”A sound of uproar from the city! A voice from the temple— the voice of the Lord, paying back His enemies what they deserve!

But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.“ Do you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known?Then do you come and stand before Me in this house called by My name and say,‘ We are delivered, so we can continue doing all these detestable acts’?

They hatch viper’s eggs and weave spider’s webs. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are sinful works, and violent acts are in their hands.

I will expose your righteousness, and your works— they will not profit you.When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you! The wind will carry all of them off, a breath will take them away. But whoever takes refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved.For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts.Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made the world’s wisdom foolish?For since, in God’s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached.For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom,but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom,because God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.Brothers, consider your calling: Not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong.God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world— what is viewed as nothing— to bring to nothing what is viewed as something,so that no one can boast in His presence.But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became God-given wisdom for us— our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,in order that, as it is written: The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.

All of us have become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like a polluted garment; all of us wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
