Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;

所以，以色列的圣者如此说：“因为你们藐视这训诲的话，倚赖欺压和乖僻，以此为可靠的，

所以，以色列的圣者如此说：“因你们藐视这话，倚赖欺压和诡诈，以此为可靠，

所以，以色列的圣者如此说：“因你们藐视这话，倚赖欺压和诡诈，以此为可靠，

因此，以色列的圣者说，‘因为你们藐视我的话，依仗欺压之能和诡诈之术，

因此，以色列的圣者这样说：“因为你们弃绝了这话，反而信赖欺压和乖僻的手段，更以此为倚靠，

因此，以色列的圣者如此说：“因为你们厌弃了这话，依靠欺压和邪僻，以它们为依赖；

因此，以色列的聖者說，『因為你們藐視我的話，依仗欺壓之能和詭詐之術，

因此，以色列的聖者這樣說：“因為你們棄絕了這話，反而信賴欺壓和乖僻的手段，更以此為倚靠，

因此以色列之聖者這麼說：『你們棄絕了這話語，而倚賴欺壓和乖僻，去依靠它，

因此，以色列的聖者如此說：「因為你們厭棄了這話，依靠欺壓和邪僻，以它們為依賴；

故以色列之聖者曰、爾輕視斯言、惟暴虐乖戾是恃、

故以色列族之聖主告爾曰、爾棄斯道、強暴妄作、以此自恃。

故以色列聖主如是云、爾棄此命、恃強暴、賴偽妄、偽妄或作奸惡之事

Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:“ Because you have rejected this message, relied on oppression and depended on deceit,

So the Holy One of Israel speaks. He says,“ You have turned your backs on what I have said. You have depended on telling people lies. You have crushed others.

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,“ Because you despise this word and trust in oppression and perverseness and rely on them,

This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel:“ Because you despise what I tell you and trust instead in oppression and lies,

Therefore the Holy One of Israel says:“ Because you have rejected this message and have trusted in oppression and deceit, and have depended on them,

Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:“ Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:“ Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them,

Therefore the Holy One of Israel says:“ Because you have rejected this message and have trusted in oppression and deceit, and have depended on them,

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says:“ You have rejected this message; you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, and rely on that kind of behavior.

Therefore the Holy One of Israel says,“ Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,

Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.

This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil- doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk.

Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.
