此猶挪亞之洪水、昔我誓云、不復使洪水汎濫於地、今亦誓云、不復怒爾、不復責爾矣、

昔挪亞時、我矢之云、自後洪水、必不汎濫於天下、今也、我亦誓不怒爾責爾矣。

爾之景況、我譬諸挪亞洪水、彼時、我誓不復使挪亞洪水氾濫於地、今我亦誓、不復怒爾、不復責爾、

“ To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again.

“ During Noah’s time I made a promise. I said I would never cover the earth with water again. In the same way, I have promised not to be angry with you. I will never punish you again.

“ This is like the days of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, and will not rebuke you.

“ Just as I swore in the time of Noah that I would never again let a flood cover the earth, so now I swear that I will never again be angry and punish you.

“ For this is like the days of Noah to me: when I swore that the water of Noah would never flood the earth again, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.

“ For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you Nor rebuke you.

“ For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

“ For this is like the days of Noah to Me: when I swore that the waters of Noah would never flood the earth again, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.

For this[ is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for[ as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

“ As far as I am concerned, this is like in Noah’s time, when I vowed that the waters of Noah’s flood would never again cover the earth. In the same way I have vowed that I will not be angry at you or shout at you.

“ For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

到那日，你們必歌唱：「耶和華啊，我要讚美你！你雖然曾向我發怒，但你的怒氣已經止息，你還安慰了我。

耶和華聞到這燔祭的馨香，心想：「雖然人從小就心存惡念，但我再不會因為人的緣故而咒詛大地，再不會毀滅一切生靈。

同樣，我口中所出的話也不會徒然返回，而是要成就我的旨意，實現我的計劃。

使陽光白天照耀、星月晚上發光、大海波濤洶湧的萬軍之耶和華說：「只要天地之律還在，以色列邦國必永續不斷。這是耶和華說的。」

我與你們立約，不再叫洪水淹沒一切生靈，也不再讓洪水毀滅大地。」上帝說：「我與你們及各種生靈立世代永存的約，我要給這個約一個記號。我把彩虹放在雲中，作為我跟大地立約的記號。我使雲彩覆蓋大地的時候，會有彩虹在雲中出現。這樣我會記得我與你們及一切生靈所立的約，水就不會再氾濫淹滅所有生靈。當我看見彩虹在雲中出現的時候，就會記得我與地上一切生靈立的永約。」

「這是耶和華說的，『除非你們能廢除我與白晝黑夜所立的約，叫白晝黑夜不再按時更替，才能廢除我與我僕人大衛所立的約，使他的王位後繼無人，也才能廢除我與事奉我的利未祭司所立的約。我要使我僕人大衛的後裔和事奉我的利未人像天上的星和海邊的沙一樣不可勝數。』」耶和華對耶利米說：「你聽見了嗎？人們說，『耶和華已經棄絕了祂所揀選的以色列和猶大兩個國家。』他們藐視我的子民，視他們為亡國之民。然而，耶和華說，『正如我決不廢棄我所定的晝夜交替和天地運行之律，我也決不棄絕雅各的後裔，不棄絕我僕人大衛的後裔。我必讓大衛的後裔做王統治亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的子孫，因為我必使被擄的人回到故土，恩待他們。』」

牠們在我的宴席上要飽餐戰馬、車夫、勇士和軍人的肉。這是主耶和華說的。

人總是指著比自己更大的起誓，並用誓言作保證，了結各樣的爭論。同樣，上帝為要向承受應許的人顯明祂的旨意絕不更改，就用誓言向他們保證。上帝絕不說謊，祂將永不改變的應許和誓言給了我們，使我們這些尋找避難所、持定擺在前面之盼望的人可以大得鼓勵。

你為眾水劃定不可逾越的界線，以免大地再遭淹沒。
