耶和華曰、爾豈未聞我於元始所為、上古所定、今則成之、使爾毀堅城為瓦礫、

耶和華云、爾豈不聞自古以來、作之者我、定之者亦我、今爾變城垣為瓦礫、乃我使之然。

主曰、如是之事、乃我自元始所作、自上古所定、爾豈未之聞乎、今爾使鞏固之城、變為瓦礫、亦為我所使、

“ Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it. In days of old I planned it; now I have brought it to pass, that you have turned fortified cities into piles of stone.

“‘ “But I, the Lord, say,‘ Haven’t you heard what I have done? Long ago I arranged for you to do this. In days of old I planned it. Now I have made it happen. You have turned cities with high walls into piles of stone.

“‘ Have you not heard that I determined it long ago? I planned from days of old what now I bring to pass, that you should make fortified cities crash into heaps of ruins,

“ But have you not heard? I decided this long ago. Long ago I planned it, and now I am making it happen. I planned for you to crush fortified cities into heaps of rubble.

Have you not heard? I designed it long ago; I planned it in days gone by. I have now brought it to pass, and you have crushed fortified cities into piles of rubble.

Have you not heard? Long ago I did it, From ancient times I planned it. Now I have brought it about That you would turn fortified cities into ruined heaps.

“ Did you not hear long ago How I made it, From ancient times that I formed it? Now I have brought it to pass, That you should be For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.

Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

Have you not heard? I designed it long ago; I planned it in days gone by. I have now brought it to pass, and you have crushed fortified cities into piles of rubble.

Hast thou not heard long ago,[ how] I have done it;[ and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities[ into] ruinous heaps.

Certainly you must have heard! Long ago I worked it out, in ancient times I planned it, and now I am bringing it to pass. The plan is this: Fortified cities will crash into heaps of ruins.

“果然如此，希律和本丢·彼拉多、外族人和以色列人都聚集在这城里，要对抗你膏立的圣子耶稣，然而他们所做的只不过是你凭自己的能力和旨意所预定的。

上帝照着自己的计划和预知把耶稣交在你们手里，你们借着邪恶之人的手把祂钉死在十字架上了。

也是：“绊脚石和使人跌倒的磐石。”他们跌倒是因为他们不顺服真道，这种下场早已注定了。

耶和华说：“亚述王有祸了！他是我的愤怒之棍，他手中拿着我发烈怒的杖。我要差遣他去攻打一个不虔敬的国家，一个惹我发怒的民族，去抢夺、掳掠他们的财物，像践踏街上的泥土一样践踏他们。

然而，斧头怎能向舞动它的人自夸呢？锯子怎能向用锯的人炫耀呢？难道棍子可以挥动举它的人吗？手杖可以举起它的主人吗？

从前你们是要加害于我，但上帝有祂的美意，祂借此保全许多人的性命，正如今日的光景。

耶和华啊，求你起来迎头击倒他们，求你持刀救我脱离恶人。

因为有些不敬虔的人偷偷地混进你们中间，以上帝的恩典作借口，放纵情欲，否认独一的主宰——我们的主耶稣基督。圣经上早已记载，这样的人必受到审判。

我从太初就预言末后的事，从亘古就宣布将来的事。我的旨意必成就，我的计划必实现。我从东方召来鸷鸟，从遥远的地方召人来成就我的计划。我言出必行，必成就自己的计划。

我造光明，也造黑暗；赐平安，也降灾祸。这一切都是我耶和华的作为。

若城中响起号角，居民岂不恐惧颤抖？若灾祸降临城中，岂不是耶和华的作为？

耶和华啊！你是我的上帝，我要尊崇你，赞美你的名。你信实无比，按你古时定下的计划行了奇妙的事。你使城邑沦为废墟，使坚垒沦为荒场。外族人的宫殿不复存在，永远不能重建。

你向人类发怒为你带来荣耀，你准备发尽你的烈怒。
