The Lord speaks to me while his powerful hand is on me. He is warning me not to live the way these people live. He says,

耶和华以大能的手，指教我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：

耶和华以大能的手训诫我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：

耶和华以大能的手训诫我不可行这百姓所行的道，对我这样说：

耶和华把大能的手放在我身上对我说话，警戒我不要走这子民所走的路；他如此说：

耶和華以大能的手訓誡我不可行這百姓所行的道，對我這樣說：

耶和華大能的手按在我身上，警告我不可效法這些人。祂說：

耶和華以大能的手托住我，教導我不要走這子民所走的道路；他對我這樣說：

因為永恆主這樣對我說：他用他手的緊握力控制我，忠告我別行這人民所行的路；他說：

耶和華把大能的手放在我身上對我說話，警戒我不要走這子民所走的路；他如此說：

耶和華持我、示我勿蹈斯民之途、

耶和華深感我心、俾我勿從斯民、

主深感動我、警戒我、勿履斯民之道、曰、

This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:

For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said,

For this is what the LORD said to me with great power, to keep me from going the way of this people:

For so the Lord spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:

For Jehovah spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

For this is what the Lord said to me with great power, to keep me from going the way of this people:

For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

Indeed this is what the LORD told me. He took hold of me firmly and warned me not to act like these people:

For Yahweh spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

Then the Spirit lifted me up and took me away. My spirit was bitter. I was very angry. The power of the Lord was on me.

My son, don’t go along with them. Don’t even set your feet on their paths.

Son of man, do not be afraid of them or of what they say. Do not be afraid, even if thorns and bushes are all around you. Do not be afraid, even if you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say. Do not be terrified by them. They always refuse to obey me.You must give them my message. They might listen, or they might not. After all, they refuse to obey me.Son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be like those who refuse to obey me. Open your mouth. Eat what I give you.”

So the Lord says to Jeremiah,“ If you turn away from your sins, I will heal you. And then you will be able to serve me. Speak words that are worthy, not worthless. Then you will be speaking for me. Let these people turn to you. But you must not turn to them.

You tricked me, Lord, and I was tricked. You overpowered me and won. People make fun of me all day long. Everyone laughs at me.

There’s nothing else we can do. We have to speak about the things we’ve seen and heard.”

I will guide you and teach you the way you should go. I will give you good advice and watch over you with love.

Sometimes I think,“ I won’t talk about his message anymore. I’ll never speak in his name again.” But then your message burns in my heart. It’s like a fire deep inside my bones. I’m tired of holding it in. In fact, I can’t.
