我本想使以色列人和犹大人紧靠着我，就像腰带紧贴在人的腰间，让他们做我的子民，使我声名远扬、得到赞美和尊崇，他们却不肯听从。这是耶和华说的。’

耶和华说：“腰带怎样紧贴人腰，照样，我也使以色列全家和犹大全家紧贴我，好叫他们属我为子民，使我得名声，得颂赞，得荣耀；他们却不肯听。”

腰带怎样紧贴人的腰，照样，我也曾使以色列全家和犹大全家紧贴着我，归我为子民，使我得名声，得颂赞，得荣耀；他们却不肯听从。这是耶和华说的。”

腰带怎样紧贴人的腰，照样，我也曾使以色列全家和犹大全家紧贴着我，归我为子民，使我得名声，得颂赞，得荣耀；他们却不肯听从。这是耶和华说的。”

因为腰带怎样紧贴着人的腰，我也曾怎样使以色列全家和犹大全家紧贴着我，好使他们作我的子民，叫我得名声，得赞美，得荣耀；可是他们却不听从。’”这是耶和华的宣告。

耶和華說：「腰帶怎樣緊貼人腰，照樣，我也使以色列全家和猶大全家緊貼我，好叫他們屬我為子民，使我得名聲，得頌讚，得榮耀；他們卻不肯聽。」

腰帶怎樣緊貼人的腰，照樣，我也曾使以色列全家和猶大全家緊貼着我，歸我為子民，使我得名聲，得頌讚，得榮耀；他們卻不肯聽從。這是耶和華說的。」

腰帶怎樣緊貼人的腰，照樣，我也曾使以色列全家和猶大全家緊貼着我，歸我為子民，使我得名聲，得頌讚，得榮耀；他們卻不肯聽從。這是耶和華說的。」

我本想使以色列人和猶大人緊靠著我，就像腰帶緊貼在人的腰間，讓他們做我的子民，使我聲名遠揚、得到讚美和尊崇，他們卻不肯聽從。這是耶和華說的。』

因為腰帶怎樣緊貼著人的腰，我也曾怎樣使以色列全家和猶大全家緊貼著我，好使他們作我的子民，叫我得名聲，得讚美，得榮耀；可是他們卻不聽從。’”這是耶和華的宣告。

因為圍腰服怎樣緊貼着人的腰，永恆主發神諭說，我也怎樣使以色列全家和猶大全家緊貼着我，好叫他們屬於我為子民、使我得名聲、得頌讚、得榮美；而他們卻不聽。

耶和華曰、帶附人腰、如是、我使以色列與猶大全家附我、致為我民我名、我譽我榮、惟彼不聽、

耶和華曰、帶附人身、如此我使以色列族猶大家附我、為我民、聲名播揚、榮譽昭著、惟彼不聽。

主曰、帶附人身、如此、我使以色列全族與猶大全族附我、為我之民、得聲名、得稱譽、得榮耀、惟彼不聽、

For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah to me,’ declares the Lord,‘ to be my people for my renown and praise and honor. But they have not listened.’

A belt is tied around a person’s waist. In the same way, I tied all the people of Israel to me. I also tied all the people of Judah to me like a belt. I wanted them to be my people. They should have brought me fame and praise and honor. But they have not listened to me,” announces the Lord.

For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, declares the Lord, that they might be for me a people, a name, a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.

As a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I created Judah and Israel to cling to me, says the Lord. They were to be my people, my pride, my glory— an honor to my name. But they would not listen to me.

Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to me”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ so that they might be my people for my fame, praise, and glory, but they would not obey.

For as the undergarment clings to the waist of a man, so I made the entire household of Israel and the entire household of Judah cling to Me,’ declares the Lord,‘ so that they might be My people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they did not listen.’

For as the sash clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me,’ says the Lord,‘ that they may become My people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’

For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they may be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to Me”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ so that they might be My people for My fame, praise, and glory, but they would not obey.

For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

For,’ I say,‘ just as shorts cling tightly to a person’s body, so I bound the whole nation of Israel and the whole nation of Judah tightly to me.’ I intended for them to be my special people and to bring me fame, honor, and praise. But they would not obey me.

For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says Yahweh;‘ that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’

现在，倘若你们认真听从我的话，遵守我的约，就必在万民中做我的子民，因为普天下都是我的。你们要归于我，作祭司之国、圣洁之邦。这些话你要告诉以色列人。’”

这城要使我在天下万国面前得到尊崇、颂赞和荣耀。万民听见我使这城繁荣昌盛，都恐惧战栗。’”

他们是我为自己所造的子民，他们要颂扬我。

我的子民却不肯听我的话，以色列不愿意顺从我。

耶和华今天已经照祂的应许宣称你们是祂的子民，是祂宝贵的产业。因此，你们要遵守祂的一切诫命，

耶和华说：“我为你们设立守望者，提醒你们要听号角声。”但你们却说：“我们不听。”

“在荒凉的旷野，在野兽吼叫的荒野，耶和华找到他们，庇护他们，看顾他们，保护他们如同保护眼中的瞳仁，又如老鹰搅动窝巢，盘旋在雏鹰之上，展开双翼，背着雏鹰飞翔。耶和华独自带领他们，身边没有外族神明。耶和华使他们驰骋在大地的高处，吃田间的五谷，磐石中的蜂蜜，石头地产的油；吃牛酪和羊奶，肥美的羔羊，巴珊的绵羊和山羊，上好的麦子；喝葡萄汁酿的酒。“但耶书仑吃饱喝足，养肥长壮后，就得意忘形，背弃造他们的上帝，藐视救他们的磐石。

祂拣选雅各做祂的子民，拣选以色列作祂的产业。

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。

他们将被称为圣民，是耶和华救赎的人。你将被称为蒙眷爱、不再被撇弃的城。

我们的上帝耶和华与我们如此亲近，随时垂听我们的呼求，有哪个伟大民族的神明能与之相比？

差我来的父曾亲自为我做过见证。你们从未听过祂的声音，从未见过祂，心里也没有祂的道，因为你们不信祂所差来的那位。你们研读圣经，以为从圣经中可以得到永生。其实为我做见证的正是这圣经，但你们却不肯到我这里来得生命。

但你们掩耳不听，顽固不化，比你们的祖先更邪恶。

你曾在埃及行神迹奇事，现今仍在以色列和世界各地行神迹奇事，使自己威名远扬，直到今日。

但你们是蒙拣选的族群，是君尊的祭司，是圣洁的国度，是上帝的子民，因此你们可以宣扬上帝的美德。祂曾呼召你们离开黑暗，进入祂奇妙的光明。

祂未曾这样对待其他国家，他们不知道祂的律法。你们要赞美耶和华！
