你们把事情颠倒了，岂可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物岂可论创造者说，“他并没有造我”？制成物岂可论制作者说，“他根本不懂”？

你们把事颠倒了，岂可看窑匠如泥吗？被制作的物岂可论制作物的说：他没有制作我？或是被创造的物论造物的说：他没有聪明？

你们把事情颠倒了，岂可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物岂可论创造者说，“他并没有造我”？制成物岂可论制作者说，“他根本不懂”？

他们太愚蠢了！窑匠怎能跟泥土相提并论？被造的怎能对造它的说：“你没有造我”？陶器怎能对陶匠说：“你什么也不懂”？

你们颠倒事理了！窑匠怎能被看作泥土呢？被造的怎能对造它的说：“他没有造我”？制成品怎可对制成它的说：“他不聪明”？

你们颠倒事理了！陶匠怎能被看作与陶泥一样？被造的怎能对造它的说：“他没有造我”？陶器怎能对陶匠说：“他什么也不知道”？

你們把事顛倒了，豈可看窰匠如泥嗎？被製作的物豈可論製作物的說：他沒有製作我？或是被創造的物論造物的說：他沒有聰明？

你們把事情顛倒了，豈可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物豈可論創造者說，「他並沒有造我」？製成物豈可論製作者說，「他根本不懂」？

你們把事情顛倒了，豈可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物豈可論創造者說，「他並沒有造我」？製成物豈可論製作者說，「他根本不懂」？

他們太愚蠢了！窯匠怎能跟泥土相提並論？被造的怎能對造它的說：「你沒有造我」？陶器怎能對陶匠說：「你什麼也不懂」？

你們顛倒事理了！窰匠怎能被看作泥土呢？被造的怎能對造它的說：“他沒有造我”？製成品怎可對製成它的說：“他不聰明”？

嘿！看你們的乖張顛倒！窰匠哪能被看做泥土呢？被製造的哪能論製造者，說：『他沒有製造我』；或是被塑造的論塑造他的，說：『他不聰明』呢？不是還有一點點短時候，

你們顛倒事理了！陶匠怎能被看作與陶泥一樣？被造的怎能對造它的說：「他沒有造我」？陶器怎能對陶匠說：「他什麼也不知道」？

異哉、爾之乖戾也、豈可視陶人若泥乎、受造之物、豈可論造之者曰、彼未造我、被摶之器、豈可論摶之者曰、彼無聰明、○

爾違道悖理、視甄陶者同於泥土、若被造之物、告造之者曰、爾無知識、焉能造我、

爾頑嚚特甚、豈可視陶人同於泥乎、被製之物、豈可論製物者曰、彼未曾製我、受造之物、豈可論造物者曰、彼無知識、

You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,“ You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter,“ You know nothing”?

They turn everything upside down. How silly they are to think that potters are like the clay they work with! Can what is made say to the one who made it,“ You didn’t make me”? Can the pot say to the potter,“ You don’t know anything”?

You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker,“ He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it,“ He has no understanding”?

How foolish can you be? He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay! Should the created thing say of the one who made it,“ He didn’t make me”? Does a jar ever say,“ The potter who made me is stupid”?

You have turned things around, as if the potter were the same as the clay. How can what is made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? How can what is formed say about the one who formed it,“ He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker,“ He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it,“ He has no understanding”?

Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it,“ He did not make me”? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it,“ He has no understanding”?

Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

You have turned things around, as if the potter were the same as the clay. How can what is made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? How can what is formed say about the one who formed it,“ He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Your thinking is perverse! Should the potter be regarded as clay? Should the thing made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? Or should the pottery say about the potter,“ He doesn’t understand”?

You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it,“ He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it,“ He has no understanding?”

这样，你会对我说：“那么，他为什么还指责人呢？有谁能抗拒他的旨意呢？”你这个人哪，你是谁，竟敢向神顶嘴呢？受造之物岂会对造他的说：“你为什么把我造成这样呢？”难道陶匠没有权从一团泥里拿一块做成贵重的器皿，又拿一块做成卑贱的器皿吗？

百姓中像畜牲一般的人当思想，你们愚昧人要到几时才有智慧呢？造耳朵的，难道自己听不见吗？造眼睛的，难道自己看不见吗？

耶和华的话临到耶利米，说：“你起来，下到陶匠的家里去，在那里我要使你听见我的话。”我就下到陶匠的家里去，看哪，他在转盘上做器皿。陶匠用泥做的器皿在他手中做坏了，他就用它另做别的器皿，照他看为好的去做。耶和华的话临到我，说：“以色列家啊，我待你们岂不能像这陶匠弄泥吗？以色列家，看哪，泥在陶匠的手中怎样，你们在我的手中也怎样。这是耶和华说的。我何时论到一邦或一国说，要拔出、拆毁、毁坏；我所说的那一邦若回转离开他们的恶，我就改变心意，不将我想要施行的灾祸降与他们。我何时论到一邦或一国说，要建立、栽植；他们若行我眼中看为恶的事，不听从我的话，我就改变心意，不将我所说的福气赐给他们。

但耶和华啊，现在你仍是我们的父！我们是泥，你是陶匠；我们都是你亲手所造的。

“那与造他的主争论的人有祸了！他不过是地上瓦块中的一片。泥土岂可对塑造它的说：‘你做的是什么？你所做的物怎么没有把手呢？’有人对父亲说，‘你生的是什么’，对母亲说，‘你生产的是什么’；这人有祸了！”耶和华—以色列的圣者，就是造以色列的如此说：“难道我孩子的未来，你们能质问我，我手的工作，你们可以吩咐我吗？

看哪，耶和华使地空虚，变为荒芜，地面扭曲，居民四散。

那些人找不着他们，就把耶孙和几个弟兄拉到地方官那里，喊叫着：“这些搅乱天下的人也到这里来了，
