“ If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?

The Lord says,“ Suppose you have raced against people. And suppose they have worn you out. Then how would you be able to race against horses? Suppose you feel safe only in open country. Then how would you get along in the bushes near the Jordan River?

“ If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? And if in a safe land you are so trusting, what will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?

“ If racing against mere men makes you tired, how will you race against horses? If you stumble and fall on open ground, what will you do in the thickets near the Jordan?

If you have raced with runners and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?

“ If you have run with infantrymen and they have tired you out, How can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket by the Jordan?

“ If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, Then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, In which you trusted, they wearied you, Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?

If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?

可愛者乎、爾今遇火鍊試爾、勿異之以為遭非常之事、

彼忍惡人如此之橫逆、爾當思之、免爾疲倦喪膽、爾之敵惡、尚未爭至於流血、

爾遭難之日若畏怯、爾力亦衰微、

敵必忽來、如獅自約但河濱之叢林而上、攻擊鞏固之所、轉瞬之間、我將以東人逐於其地、誰蒙簡選、則我命之以轄斯地、孰能與我比擬、孰能與我爭辯、有何牧人、能立於我前、

敵必忽來、如獅自約但河濱之叢林而上、攻擊鞏固之所、轉瞬之間、我將巴比倫人逐於其地、誰蒙簡選、則我命之以轄斯地、孰能與我比擬、孰能與我爭辯、有何牧人、能立於我前、

求天主救援我、因水流來、將傷我命、我陷於淤泥、無處可立、我沈於深水、波濤淹沒我身、

我子、主責爾、勿輕視、主譴爾、勿喪膽、

瀑布飛濤、聲聲相應、主之波浪、沖激我身、

正月、約但河水漲溢於岸、斯眾濟河、使凡在平原者、遁於東西、

時、正收穫之日、約但水漲溢岸外、舁匱之祭司、至約但、足方入水、

耶利米以主所命者、悉告眾民、其言既竟、諸祭司諸先知與眾民執之曰、爾當死、

王命哈米勒子耶拉篾、亞斯列子西萊亞、亞伯叠子示利米亞、執繕寫巴錄及先知耶利米、幸主使之得藏匿、

諸牧伯奏王曰、斯人以如此之言、述於斯邑中所遺之武士百姓、使彼喪膽、斯人不求民之利益、利益或作得平康惟求其害、當殺之、西底家王曰、斯人在爾手中、王毫不能禁爾、眾遂以耶利米下於哈米勒子瑪勒家坑中、即在獄院、以繩縋之下、坑無水、惟有淤泥、耶利米遂沈入於泥中、
