You call yourselves citizens of the holy city of Jerusalem. You say you depend on Israel’s God. His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All. He says,

他们自称为圣城的人，所倚靠的是名为万军之耶和华以色列的神。

你们还自称为圣城的人，声称倚靠名为万军之耶和华的以色列的上帝。

他们被称为圣城的人，又倚靠以色列的神；他的名字是万军之耶和华。

你们自称是圣城的人，依靠的是名为万军之耶和华以色列的神——你们要听这话：

他們自稱為聖城的人，所倚靠的是名為萬軍之耶和華－以色列的神。

你們還自稱為聖城的人，聲稱倚靠名為萬軍之耶和華的以色列的上帝。

他們被稱為聖城的人，又倚靠以色列的神；他的名字是萬軍之耶和華。

儘管他們自稱為聖城的人，又依賴着以色列之上帝，萬軍之永恆主耶和華是他的名的。

你們自稱是聖城的人，依靠的是名為萬軍之耶和華以色列的神——你們要聽這話：

蓋彼自稱為聖邑之民、恃以色列之上帝、名為萬軍之耶和華也、

自稱為聖邑之民、自謂恃以色列之天主、名為萬有之主、

you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city and claim to rely on the God of Israel— the Lord Almighty is his name:

For they call themselves after the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts is his name.

even though you call yourself the holy city and talk about depending on the God of Israel, whose name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

For they are named after the holy city, and lean on the God of Israel; his name is the LORD of Armies.

For they name themselves after the holy city, And lean on the God of Israel; The Lord of armies is His name.

For they call themselves after the holy city, And lean on the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is His name:

( for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; Jehovah of hosts is his name):

For they are named after the Holy City, and lean on the God of Israel; His name is Yahweh of Hosts.

For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts[ is] his name.

Indeed, they live in the holy city; they trust in the God of Israel, whose name is the LORD who commands armies.

for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; Yahweh of Armies is his name.

Your judges take money from people who want special favors. Your priests teach only if they get paid for it. Your prophets won’t tell fortunes unless they receive money. But you still look for the Lord’ s help. You say,“ The Lord is with us. No trouble will come on us.”

Suppose you call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law. You brag that you know God.

Wake up! Zion, wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes. Holy city of Jerusalem, put on your clothes of glory. Those who haven’t been circumcised will never enter you again. Neither will those who are“ unclean.”

In days to come, some people will still be left alive in Israel. They will be from Jacob’s family line. But they won’t depend any longer on the nation that struck them down. Instead, they will truly depend on the Lord. He is the Holy One of Israel.

“ Ask the Lord to help us. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. In the past the Lord did wonderful things for us. Maybe he’ll do them again. Then Nebuchadnezzar will pull his armies back from us.”

They came out of the tombs. After Jesus was raised from the dead, they went into the holy city. There they appeared to many people.

Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

The one who sets us free is the Holy One of Israel. His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.

How can you forget me? I made you. I stretch out the heavens. I lay the foundations of the earth. Why are you terrified every day? Is it because those who are angry with you are crushing you? Is it because they are trying to destroy you? Their anger can’t harm you anymore.

The Lord is great. He is really worthy of praise. Praise him in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

Do not trust in lies. Do not say,‘ This is the temple of the Lord! This is the temple of the Lord! This is the temple of the Lord!’You must really change the way you live and act. Treat one another fairly.Do not treat outsiders or widows badly in this place. Do not take advantage of children whose fathers have died. Do not kill those who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. Do not worship other gods. That will only bring harm to you.If you obey me, I will let you live in this place. It is the land I gave your people of long ago. It was promised to them for ever and ever.But look! You are trusting in worthless lies.“‘ “You continue to steal and commit murder. You commit adultery. You tell lies in court. You burn incense to Baal. You worship other gods you didn’t know before.Then you come and stand in front of me. You keep coming to this house where I have put my Name. You say,‘ We are safe.’ You think you are safe when you do so many things I hate.My Name is in this house. But you have made it a den for robbers! I have been watching you!” announces the Lord.

But you are looking for a way to kill me. I am a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do the things you want to do.You are doing what your own father does.”“ We have the right to claim to be God’s children,” they objected.“ The only Father we have is God himself.”

Your sacred cities have become a desert. Even Zion is a desert. Jerusalem is a dry and empty place.Our people of long ago used to praise you in our holy and glorious temple. But now it has been burned down. Everything we treasured has been destroyed.

Micah said,“ Now I know that the Lord will be good to me. This Levite has become my priest.”

The leaders of the people made their homes in Jerusalem. The rest of the people cast lots. They did it to choose one person out of every ten of them. That person was chosen to live in the holy city of Jerusalem. The other nine had to stay in their own towns.

City of God, the Lord says glorious things about you.

The God of Jacob is not like them. He gives his people everything they need. He made everything that exists. And that includes Israel. They are the people who belong to him. His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.

The rest of the Israelite soldiers returned to camp. Then the elders asked them,“ Why did the Lord let the Philistines win the battle over us today? Let’s bring the ark of the Lord’ s covenant from Shiloh. Let’s take it with us. Then the Lord will save us from the power of our enemies.”So the people sent men to Shiloh. They brought back the ark of the Lord’ s covenant law. He sits there on his throne between the cherubim. The Lord is the one who rules over all. Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of God’s covenant law. The ark was in Shiloh.The ark of the Lord’ s covenant law was brought into the camp. Then all the Israelites shouted so loudly that the ground shook.

Suppose someone takes away any words from this book of prophecy. Then God will take away from that person the blessings told about in this book. God will take away their share in the tree of life. God will also take away their place in the Holy City.

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. It was prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

The total number of Levites in the holy city was 284.

But do not measure the outer courtyard. That’s because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will take over the holy city for 42 months.

“ The Lord has appointed 70‘ weeks’ for your people and your holy city. During that time, acts against God’s law will be stopped. Sin will come to an end. And the evil things people do will be paid for. Then everyone will always do what is right. Everything that has been made known in visions and prophecies will come true. And the Most Holy Room in the temple will be anointed.
