當時猶大諸邑、及耶路撒冷居民、將往呼籲其素所焚香之神、惟彼不拯之於難、

猶大諸邑、各事一上帝、耶路撒冷諸逵衢、各立一祭壇、焚香崇拜可惡之物巴力、不知患難之時、雖籲呼之、弗蒙拯救、

猶大諸邑及耶路撒冷居民、遭患難之時、必往呼籲諸神、即素焚香以事之者、惟不能救、

The people of Jerusalem and of the towns of Judah will cry out. They will cry out to the gods they burn incense to. But those gods will not help them at all when trouble strikes them.

Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble.

He will say:“ Now where are their gods, the rock they took refuge in,

Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns.

In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the Lord.

“ Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.

Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!”

We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and our ancestors, our kings and our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and were well off and suffered no harm.But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have had nothing and have been perishing by sword and famine.”The women added,“ When we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did not our husbands know that we were making cakes impressed with her image and pouring out drink offerings to her?”Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,“ Did not the Lord remember and call to mind the incense burned in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem by you and your ancestors, your kings and your officials and the people of the land?When the Lord could no longer endure your wicked actions and the detestable things you did, your land became a curse and a desolate waste without inhabitants, as it is today.Because you have burned incense and have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed him or followed his law or his decrees or his stipulations, this disaster has come upon you, as you now see.”Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including the women,“ Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah in Egypt.This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives have done what you said you would do when you promised,‘ We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.’“ Go ahead then, do what you promised! Keep your vows!But hear the word of the Lord, all you Jews living in Egypt:‘ I swear by my great name,’ says the Lord,‘ that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear,“ As surely as the Sovereign Lord lives.”For I am watching over them for harm, not for good; the Jews in Egypt will perish by sword and famine until they are all destroyed.
