这邪恶的百姓拒绝听我的话，一意孤行，跟随、供奉、祭拜别的神明，他们将像这腰带一样毫无用处。

这恶民不肯听我的话，按自己顽梗的心而行，随从别神，侍奉敬拜，他们也必像这腰带变为无用。”

这恶民不肯听我的话，按自己顽梗的心而行，随从别神，事奉敬拜它们；这恶民必像这腰带，毫无用处。

这恶民不肯听我的话，按自己顽梗的心而行，随从别神，事奉敬拜它们；这恶民必像这腰带，毫无用处。

这邪恶的人民，不肯听从我的话，他们随着自己顽梗的心行事，随从别的神，事奉敬拜他们；所以他们必像这根腰带，毫无用处。

這壞人民、不肯聽我的話、只隨着自己頑強之心意而行，去隨從別的神、而事奉敬拜的，讓他們像這圍腰服毫無用處罷！

惟此惡民、不聽我言、徇厥心之剛愎而行、從他神而服事崇拜之、必若此帶、歸於無用、

惡民不聽我言、輒自縱恣、崇奉他上帝、服事崇拜之、必使之無益、有如此帶。

此惡劣之民、不願聽我言、放縱情欲、剛愎自用、妄從他神、服事崇拜之、必將似此無用之帶然、

These wicked people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt— completely useless!

These people are evil. They refuse to listen to what I say. They do what their stubborn hearts want them to do. They chase after other gods. They serve them and worship them. So they will be like this belt. They will be completely useless.

This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is good for nothing.

These wicked people refuse to listen to me. They stubbornly follow their own desires and worship other gods. Therefore, they will become like this loincloth— good for nothing!

These evil people, who refuse to listen to me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and bow in worship— they will be like this underwear, of no use at all.

This wicked people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and have followed other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, let them be just like this undergarment which is completely useless.

This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who follow the dictates of their hearts, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing.

可是，你们的行为比他们更邪恶，一意孤行，不听从我。

他们祖先的上帝耶和华因为怜爱祂的子民和祂的居所，就不断派使者来劝告他们。他们却嘲弄耶和华上帝的使者，藐视祂的话，嘲笑祂的先知，以致祂的愤怒临到祂的子民身上，无可挽救。

耶和华对摩西说：“这些人藐视我要到何时呢？我在他们中间行了这么多神迹，他们仍然不相信我。

执迷不悟，随从他们祖先的教导去供奉巴力。”

我就去幼发拉底河边把所藏的腰带挖出来，但腰带已经腐烂，不能用了。

因为自从我把你们祖先从埃及领出来的那天起，一直到今天，我一再劝诫他们要听从我的话。然而，他们却不听不理，人人凭自己顽固的恶念行事。因此，我要使约中的一切咒诅临到他们，因为我吩咐他们遵守这约，他们却拒绝遵守。”

那时，耶路撒冷会被称为‘耶和华的宝座’，万国都要聚集在耶路撒冷敬拜耶和华，不再执迷不悟地作恶。

为什么耶路撒冷的居民一味地背叛我？他们诡诈成性，不肯回头。

年轻人啊，在年轻时要快乐，要在青春岁月里使自己的心欢畅。心里想做什么就去做，眼睛想看什么就去看。然而，要切记：上帝必照你所行的一切审判你。

“从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚执政第十三年，到今天已有二十三年。在这期间，我不断把耶和华对我说的话传给你们，你们却充耳不闻。耶和华屡次差遣祂的仆人——众先知警告你们，你们却充耳不闻，毫不理会。他们对你们说，‘要改邪归正，停止作恶，以便可以永远住在耶和华赐给你们和你们祖先的土地上。不要随从、供奉、祭拜其他神明，不要制造神像惹耶和华发怒，免得祂惩罚你们。’”耶和华说：“然而，你们不听我的话，制造神像惹我发怒，自招惩罚。”

耶和华对我说：“就算摩西和撒母耳站在我面前求情，我也不会怜悯这些百姓。你把他们从我面前赶走吧！如果他们问你，‘我们该去哪里，’你就告诉他们，耶和华这样说，“‘该死的死，该被杀的被杀，该遭饥荒的遭饥荒，该被掳的被掳。’“我要让他们遭受四种祸患——刀杀、狗撕、鸟啄、兽吞。这是耶和华说的。因为犹大王希西迦的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷的所作所为，我要使他们的遭遇令天下万国惊惧。

“你们这些顽固不化、耳不听心不悔的人，经常抗拒圣灵，所作所为和你们的祖先如出一辙！

也不会像自己的祖先那样顽梗叛逆，对上帝不忠，心怀二意。

但你们这些人顽固不化，悖逆成性。你们离我而去。

‘他们必死于恶疾，无人哀悼，无人埋葬，他们好像地上的粪便。他们必死于战争和饥荒，尸首必成为飞鸟和走兽的食物。’”

倘若你们的希伯来同胞卖身做你们的奴隶，服侍你们六年后，到第七年你们要给他们自由。你们的祖先却掩耳不听。不久前，你们回心转意，做我视为正的事，释放自己的同胞，并且在我的殿中立了约。然而，你们却反悔，各自抓回先前释放的奴隶，再次奴役他们，亵渎了我的名。因此耶和华说，既然你们不听我的话，不给自己的同胞自由，看啊，我必使你们自由地死在战争、瘟疫和饥荒中，使你们的遭遇令天下万国惊惧。这是耶和华说的。

你们必须谨慎，切勿拒绝对你们说话的上帝。因为以色列人违背了在地上警戒他们的人，尚且逃脱不了惩罚，何况我们违背从天上警戒我们的上帝呢？

有人想谋害我，耶和华告诉了我，并让我看见他们的所作所为。

因此，我奉主的名郑重地劝告各位，不要再像不信的外族人一样过着心灵空虚的日子。他们因为愚昧无知，顽固不化，理智受到蒙蔽，与上帝所赐的生命隔绝了。他们丧尽天良，放纵情欲，沉溺于各种污秽的事。

她们的香气将变成臭味，腰带将变成绳子，美发将变成秃头，华服将变成麻衣，美丽的容颜将布满羞辱的烙印。

他们却掩耳不听，一意孤行，任意行恶，越来越坏。从你们的祖先离开埃及那天起，一直到今天，我日复一日地差遣我的仆人——众先知到你们那里，但你们掩耳不听，顽固不化，比你们的祖先更邪恶。耶利米啊，你将这番话告诉他们，他们也不会听；你向他们呼吁，他们也不会回应。你要对他们说，‘你们这些国民不听你们上帝耶和华的话，不肯受管教，口中毫无真理。
