Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, on the whole earth.

现在你们不可亵慢，恐怕捆你们的绑索更结实了；因为我从主万军之耶和华那里听见，已经决定在全地上施行灭绝的事。

现在你们不可傲慢，免得捆绑你们的绳索更结实，因为我从万军之主耶和华那里听见，在全地施行灭绝的事已定。

现在你们不可傲慢，免得捆绑你们的绳索更结实，因为我从万军之主耶和华那里听见，在全地施行灭绝的事已定。

现在你们不要再讥讽了，以免捆绑你们的绳索勒得更紧，因为我已从主——万军之耶和华那里听到毁灭全国的谕旨。

现在，你们不可再讥笑了，免得捆绑你们的绳索绑得更紧，因为我从主万军之耶和华那里听到，决定要在全地上施行毁灭的事。

现在，你们不可再讥讽了，免得捆绑你们的绳索绑得更紧，因为我从主万军之耶和华那里听到了那注定要临到全地的灭绝。

現在你們不可褻慢，恐怕捆你們的綁索更結實了；因為我從主－萬軍之耶和華那裏聽見，已經決定在全地上施行滅絕的事。

現在你們不可傲慢，免得捆綁你們的繩索更結實，因為我從萬軍之主耶和華那裏聽見，在全地施行滅絕的事已定。

現在你們不可傲慢，免得捆綁你們的繩索更結實，因為我從萬軍之主耶和華那裏聽見，在全地施行滅絕的事已定。

現在，你們不可再譏笑了，免得捆綁你們的繩索綁得更緊，因為我從主萬軍之耶和華那裡聽到，決定要在全地上施行毀滅的事。

如今呢、你們不可褻慢，恐怕捆你的繩索綁得更緊；因為我聽見有毁滅之事、鐵定之事、要由主、萬軍之永恆主、去行於全地上。

現在，你們不可再譏諷了，免得捆綁你們的繩索綁得更緊，因為我從主萬軍之耶和華那裡聽到了那註定要臨到全地的滅絕。

故勿侮慢、恐縲絏加嚴、蓋我聞毀滅之命、將行於天下、由於萬軍之主耶和華焉、○

爾曹勿復侮慢、恐爾之縲絏加嚴、我聞萬有之主耶和華、已定厥命、將殲滅斯境矣。

今爾勿嘲笑、恐爾之縲絏愈加嚴緊、蓋我聞主萬有之天主已定厥命、必殲滅全地、○

Now stop your mocking, or your chains will become heavier; the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me of the destruction decreed against the whole land.

Now stop making fun of me. If you don’t, your chains will become heavier. The Lord who rules over all has spoken to me. The Lord has told me he has ordered that the whole land be destroyed.

Now therefore do not scoff, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord God of hosts against the whole land.

For the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, has plainly said that he is determined to crush the whole land. So scoff no more, or your punishment will be even greater.

So now, do not scoff, or your shackles will become stronger. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Armies a decree of destruction for the whole land.

And now do not carry on as scoffers, Or your shackles will be made stronger; For I have heard from the Lord God of armies Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth.

So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become stronger. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord God of Hosts a decree of destruction for the whole land.

Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

So now, do not mock, or your chains will become heavier! For I have heard a message about decreed destruction, from the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, against the entire land.

For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, throughout all the earth.

Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:‘ Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,

Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:“ Because you have said,‘ We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”

“ The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand. They are knit together. They have come up on my neck. He made my strength fail. The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.

They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.

Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry- hearted sigh.The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said,“ I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabit the earth.It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.

For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.

Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said,“ We want to hear you again concerning this.”

I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.

The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

After the sixty- two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.He will make a firm covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. On the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, wrath will be poured out on the desolate.”

This whole land will be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
