Praise and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, it shouldn’t be this way.

颂赞和咒诅从一个口里出来！我的弟兄们，这是不应当的！

颂赞和诅咒从同一个口出来。我的弟兄们，这是不应该的。

颂赞和诅咒从同一个口出来。我的弟兄们，这是不应该的。

赞美和咒诅竟然从同一张嘴里发出来。我的弟兄姊妹，这是不应该的！

同一张嘴竟然又称颂主，又咒诅人；我的弟兄们，这是不应该的！

颂赞和诅咒从同一张嘴里出来！我的弟兄们，这些事不应该如此！

讚美和咒詛竟然從同一張嘴裡發出來。我的弟兄姊妹，這是不應該的！

同一張嘴竟然又稱頌主，又咒詛人；我的弟兄們，這是不應該的！

祝頌和咒詛都從同一個口裏出來：我的弟兄們，這是不該這樣的。

頌讚和詛咒從同一張嘴裡出來！我的弟兄們，這些事不應該如此！

祝與詛均出一口、我兄弟乎、此非所宜也、

祝與詛、均由口出、兄弟乎勿如是、

祝讚與咒詛、自一口出、兄弟乎、此非所宜也、

兄弟乎讚美與咒詛、同出一口、有是理乎？

Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!

Bless those who hurt you. Bless them, and do not curse them.

Don’t pay back evil with evil. Don’t pay back unkind words with unkind words. Instead, pay back evil with kind words. This is what you have been chosen to do. You will receive a blessing by doing this.

But here is what God says to a sinful person.“ What right do you have to speak the words of my laws? How dare you speak the words of my covenant!You hate my teaching. You turn your back on what I say.When you see a thief, you join him. You make friends with those who commit adultery.You use your mouth to speak evil. You use your tongue to spread lies.You are a witness against your brother. You always tell lies about your own mother’s son.

You are still following the ways of the world. Some of you are jealous. Some of you argue. So aren’t you following the ways of the world? Aren’t you acting like ordinary human beings?

Besides, they get into the habit of having nothing to do. They go around from house to house. They waste their time. They also bother other people and say things that make no sense. They shouldn’t say those things.

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.

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.”

Then Abimelek called Abraham in. Abimelek said,“ What have you done to us? Have I done something wrong to you? Why have you brought so much guilt on me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.”

“ No, my brother!” she said to him.“ Don’t force me! An evil thing like that should never be done in Israel! Don’t do it!
