“然而，雅各啊，你却没有呼求我；以色列啊，你竟然厌倦了我！

“雅各啊，你并没有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。

“雅各啊，你并没有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。

“雅各啊，你并没有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厌烦我。

“雅各啊，你却没有求告我；以色列啊，你竟然厌烦我。

然而，雅各啊！你并没有呼求我。以色列啊！你竟厌烦我。

雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。

「雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。

「雅各啊，你並沒有求告我；以色列啊，你倒厭煩我。

「雅各啊，你卻沒有求告我；以色列啊，你竟然厭煩我。

然而，雅各啊！你並沒有呼求我。以色列啊！你竟厭煩我。

『但雅各啊，你呼求的並不是我呀！以色列啊，你厭煩的倒是我呢！

「然而，雅各啊，你卻沒有呼求我；以色列啊，你竟然厭倦了我！

惟爾雅各、不呼籲我、以色列厭我、

惟雅各家以色列族、敬恪已弛、不肯上籲、

雅各乎、爾反不籲我、以色列乎、爾反不因我而勤勞、

“ Yet you have not called on me, Jacob, you have not wearied yourselves for me, Israel.

“ Family of Jacob, you have not prayed to me as you should. People of Israel, you have not worn yourselves out for me.

“ Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel!

“ But, dear family of Jacob, you refuse to ask for my help. You have grown tired of me, O Israel!

“ But, Jacob, you have not called on me, because, Israel, you have become weary of me.

“ Yet you have not called on Me, Jacob; But you have become weary of Me, Israel.

“ But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; And you have been weary of Me, O Israel.

Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

“ But Jacob, you have not called on Me, because, Israel, you have become weary of Me.

But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

“ But you did not call for me, O Jacob; you did not long for me, O Israel.

Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

你们说：‘服事神是枉然的！遵守神所吩咐的，在万军之耶和华面前哀痛而行，有什么好处呢？

你们不但说：‘看，真烦哪！’而且对主的桌子嗤之以鼻。你们把抢来的、瘸腿的、患病的动物带来——竟然带来作供物！难道我会从你们的手中悦纳它们吗？”这是耶和华说的。

你们渴望而不能拥有，就杀人；你们嫉妒而不能获得，就争斗、作战。你们不能拥有，是因为你们不求；你们求也不能得到，是因为你们求的动机不对，为了要花费在自己的私欲上。

没有人呼求你的名，没有人奋起去紧抓你；因为你向我们掩面，使我们在自己罪孽的权势下消融。

求你倾泻你的怒火，向不认识你的列邦，向不呼求你名的列国；

难道所有作恶的都不明白吗？他们吞噬我的子民像吃饭那样，他们不呼求耶和华。

从此耶稣的门徒中有许多人离开回到背后的事上，不再与他同行。耶稣就对十二使徒说：“你们也不会想离开吧？”西门彼得回答：“主啊，你有永恒生命的话语，我们还去归从谁呢？我们已经相信，也知道你就是神的那位圣者。”

照着摩西的律法上所记的，这一切祸患都临到我们身上；然而我们却没有恳求耶和华我们神的恩宠，好使我们回转离开自己的罪孽，留心你的真理。
