So I say,‘ I will bring trouble on them. They will not be able to escape it. They will cry out to me. But I will not listen to them.

所以耶和华如此说：“我必使灾祸临到他们，是他们不能逃脱的。他们必向我哀求，我却不听。

所以耶和华如此说：看哪，我必使灾祸临到他们，是他们不能逃脱的。他们向我哀求，我却不听。

所以耶和华如此说：看哪，我必使灾祸临到他们，是他们不能逃脱的。他们向我哀求，我却不听。

所以我要使他们灾难临头，无法逃脱，任他们高声呼求，我也不听。这是耶和华说的。

因此耶和华这样说：“看哪！我必使灾祸临到他们身上，是他们不能逃脱的；他们虽然向我哀求，我必不听他们。

所以耶和華如此說：「我必使災禍臨到他們，是他們不能逃脫的。他們必向我哀求，我卻不聽。

所以耶和華如此說：看哪，我必使災禍臨到他們，是他們不能逃脫的。他們向我哀求，我卻不聽。

所以我要使他們災難臨頭，無法逃脫，任他們高聲呼求，我也不聽。這是耶和華說的。

因此耶和華這樣說：“看哪！我必使災禍臨到他們身上，是他們不能逃脫的；他們雖然向我哀求，我必不聽他們。

因此永恆主這麼說：看吧，我必使災禍臨到他們，是他們不能逃脫的；他們必向我哀呼，我卻不聽。

故耶和華曰、我必降災於彼、不能避之、彼呼籲我、我不垂聽、

故我耶和華必降災其身、使彼不能逃避、彼雖籲我、我必不應。

故主如是云、我必降災其身、使之不能脫免、彼雖籲我、我必不應、

Therefore this is what the Lord says:‘ I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.

Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them.

Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am going to bring calamity upon them, and they will not escape. Though they beg for mercy, I will not listen to their cries.

“ Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring on them disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to me, but I will not hear them.

Therefore this is what the Lord says:“ Behold, I am bringing disaster on them which they will not be able to escape; though they will cry out to Me, I will not listen to them.

Therefore thus says the Lord:“ Behold, I will surely bring calamity on them which they will not be able to escape; and though they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them.

Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.

“ Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring on them disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not hear them.

Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

So I, the LORD, say this:‘ I will soon bring disaster on them which they will not be able to escape! When they cry out to me for help, I will not listen to them.

Therefore Yahweh says,‘ Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

So I am angry with them. I will punish them. I will not spare them or feel sorry for them. They might even shout in my ears. But I will not listen to them.”

You might spread out your hands toward me when you pray. But I do not look at you. You might even offer many prayers. But I am not listening to them. Your hands are covered with the blood of the people you have murdered.

“ Then you will call to me. But I won’t answer. You will look for me. But you won’t find me.

The time will come when Israel will cry out to the Lord. But he won’t answer them. In fact, he’ll turn his face away from them. They have done what is evil.

“ When I called, they did not listen,” says the Lord.“ So when they called, I would not listen.

Tell him,“ The Lord says,‘ I am going to bring horrible trouble on this place and its people. Everything written in the book the king of Judah has read will take place.

Even if they go without food, I will not listen to their cry for help. They might sacrifice burnt offerings and grain offerings. But I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with war, hunger and plague.”

Listen, you people of the earth. Terror, a pit and a trap are waiting for you.

Earth, pay attention. I am going to bring trouble on them. I will punish them because of the evil things they have done. They have not listened to my words. They have said no to my law.

They cried out for help. But there was no one to save them. They called out to the Lord. But he didn’t answer them.

The Lord who rules over all planted you. But now he has ordered your enemies to destroy you. The people of Israel and Judah have both done what is evil. They have made the Lord very angry by burning incense to Baal.

“ The Lord says,‘ I am going to bring horrible trouble on this place and its people. There are curses written down in the book that has been read to the king of Judah. All those curses will take place.

Your fastest runners will not escape. The strongest people will not get away. Even soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.Men who are armed with bows will lose the battle. Soldiers who are quick on their feet will not escape. Horsemen will not be able to save their own lives.

People will be saying that everything is peaceful and safe. Then suddenly they will be destroyed. It will happen like birth pains coming on a pregnant woman. None of the people will escape.

Tell the people,‘ Listen to the Lord’ s message, you kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem. The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,“ Listen! I am going to bring trouble on Jerusalem. It will be so horrible that it will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring.

So their path will become slippery. They will be thrown out into darkness. There they will fall. I will bring trouble on them when the time to punish them comes,” announces the Lord.

The Son is the shining brightness of God’s glory. He is the exact likeness of God’s being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.

So the Lord God who rules over all speaks. The God of Israel says,“ Listen! I am going to bring horrible trouble on Judah. I will also bring it on everyone who lives in Jerusalem. I will bring on them every trouble I said I would. I spoke to them. But they did not listen. I called out to them. But they did not answer.”

Whoever still won’t obey after being warned many times will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save them.

If I had enjoyed having sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

They called out to the mountains and rocks,“ Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne! Hide us from the anger of the Lamb!The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”

“ The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,‘ Listen! I am going to punish this city and all the villages around it. I am going to bring against them all the trouble I have announced. That’s because my people were stubborn. They would not listen to what I said.’ ”

It will be like a man running away from a lion only to meet a bear. He enters his house and rests his hand on a wall only to be bitten by a snake.

Suppose these people ask you,‘ Where should we go?’ Then tell them,‘ The Lord says,“‘ “Those I have appointed to die will die. Those I have appointed to be killed by swords will be killed by swords. Those I have appointed to die of hunger will die of hunger. Those I have appointed to be taken away as prisoners will be taken away.” ’

“ Try very hard to enter through the narrow door. I tell you, many will try to enter and will not be able to.The owner of the house will get up and close the door. Then you will stand outside knocking and begging. You will say,‘ Sir, open the door for us.’“ But he will answer,‘ I don’t know you. And I don’t know where you come from.’“ Then you will say,‘ We ate and drank with you. You taught in our streets.’“ But he will reply,‘ I don’t know you. And I don’t know where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil!’“ You will weep and grind your teeth together when you see those who are in God’s kingdom. You will see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets there. But you yourselves will be thrown out.

I will punish him and his children and his attendants. I will punish them for their sinful ways. I will bring on them all the trouble I said I would. And I will bring it on the people of Jerusalem and Judah. They have not listened to me.” ’ ”

“ I am the Lord and King. I say,‘ Horrible trouble is coming! No one has ever heard of anything like it. It is here!

I saw the Lord standing next to the altar in the temple. He said to me,“ Strike the tops of the temple pillars. Then the heavy stones at the base of the entrance will shake. Bring everything down on the heads of everyone there. I will kill with my swords those who are left alive. None of the Israelites will escape. None will get away.They might dig down deep. But my powerful hand will take them out of there. They might climb up to the heavens. But I will bring them down from there.They might hide on top of Mount Carmel. But I will hunt them down and grab them. They might hide from me at the bottom of the ocean. But even there I will command the serpent to bite them.Their enemies might take them away as prisoners to another country. But there I will command Israel’s enemies to cut them down with swords. I will keep my eye on Israel to harm them. I will not help them.”

“ Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not make any appeal or request for them. They will call out to me when they are in trouble. But I will not listen to them.
