They will disappoint you, those you have so faithfully dealt with since your youth. Each strays off in his own direction, leaving no one to rescue you.”

你所劳神的事都要这样与你无益；从幼年与你贸易的也都各奔各乡，无人救你。

你所操劳的事都像这样；从你幼年以来与你交易的都各奔己路，没有一人来救你。

你所操劳的事都像这样；从你幼年以来与你交易的都各奔己路，没有一人来救你。

你自幼交往的占星家帮不上你，他们都四散奔逃，无人救你。

你所劳碌的事，都要这样与你无益；从你年幼时与你交易的，也都必各奔各方，四处飘流，没有人拯救你。”

那些与你一起辛劳的，就是从你年轻时就与你一起做买卖的，对你也是如此；他们各奔己路，四处飘流，没有人拯救你。”

你所勞勞碌碌的、那從你幼年跟你交易的、對你都必這樣無用；他們都必飄流，各奔各方，沒有拯救你的！

That is all they are to you— these you have dealt with and labored with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you.

They can’t do you any good. You have done business with them ever since you were a child. You have always asked them for advice. All of them are bewildered and continue in their own ways. None of them can save you.”

Such to you are those with whom you have labored, who have done business with you from your youth; they wander about, each in his own direction; there is no one to save you.

And all your friends, those with whom you’ve done business since childhood, will go their own ways, turning a deaf ear to your cries.

This is what they are to you— those who have wearied you and have traded with you from your youth— each wanders on his own way; no one can save you.

So have those become to you with whom you have labored, Those who have done business with you from your youth; Each has wandered in his own way; There is no one to save you.

Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.

Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast labored: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.

This is what they are to you— those who have wearied you and have traded with you from your youth— each wanders on his own way; no one can save you.

Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,[ even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.

“‘ Tarshish was your trade partner because of your abundant wealth; they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your products.Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your clients; they exchanged slaves and bronze items for your merchandise.Beth Togarmah exchanged horses, chargers, and mules for your products.The Dedanites were your clients. Many coastlands were your customers; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony.Edom was your trade partner because of the abundance of your goods; they exchanged turquoise, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your products.Judah and the land of Israel were your clients; they traded wheat from Minnith, millet, honey, olive oil, and balm for your merchandise.Damascus was your trade partner because of the abundance of your goods and of all your wealth: wine from Helbon, white wool from Zahar,and casks of wine from Izal they exchanged for your products. Wrought iron, cassia, and sweet cane were among your merchandise.Dedan was your client in saddlecloths for riding.Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your trade partners; for lambs, rams, and goats they traded with you.The merchants of Sheba and Raamah engaged in trade with you; they traded the best kinds of spices along with precious stones and gold for your products.Haran, Kanneh, Eden, merchants from Sheba, Asshur, and Kilmad were your clients.They traded with you choice garments, purple clothes and embroidered work, and multicolored carpets, bound and reinforced with cords; these were among your merchandise.The ships of Tarshish were the transports for your merchandise.“‘ So you were filled and weighed down in the heart of the seas.

Then the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo any longer–cargo such as gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all sorts of things made of citron wood, all sorts of objects made of ivory, all sorts of things made of expensive wood, bronze, iron and marble,cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumed ointment, frankincense, wine, olive oil and costly flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and four- wheeled carriages, slaves and human lives.( The ripe fruit you greatly desired has gone from you, and all your luxury and splendor have gone from you– they will never ever be found again!)The merchants who sold these things, who got rich from her, will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment. They will weep and mourn,saying,“ Woe, woe, O great city– dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls–because in a single hour such great wealth has been destroyed!” And every ship’s captain, and all who sail along the coast– seamen, and all who make their living from the sea, stood a long way offand began to shout when they saw the smoke from the fire that burned her up,“ Who is like the great city?”And they threw dust on their heads and were shouting with weeping and mourning,“ Woe, Woe, O great city– in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth– because in a single hour she has been destroyed!”

Get out of Babylonia quickly, you foreign people. Flee to save your lives. Do not let yourselves be killed because of her sins. For it is time for the LORD to wreak his revenge. He will pay Babylonia back for what she has done.Babylonia had been a gold cup in the LORD’s hand. She had made the whole world drunk. The nations had drunk from the wine of her wrath. So they have all gone mad.But suddenly Babylonia will fall and be destroyed. Cry out in mourning over it! Get medicine for her wounds! Perhaps she can be healed!Foreigners living there will say,‘ We tried to heal her, but she could not be healed. Let’s leave Babylonia and each go back to his own country. For judgment on her will be vast in its proportions. It will be like it is piled up to heaven, stacked up into the clouds.’

The dogs have big appetites; they are never full. They are shepherds who have no understanding; they all go their own way, each one looking for monetary gain.
