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。」

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。”

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。’

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。

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.’

如今你們若實在聽從我的話，遵守我的約，就要在萬民中作屬我的子民，因為全地都是我的。你們要歸我作祭司的國度，為聖潔的國民。』這些話你要告訴以色列人。」

這城要在地上萬國人面前使我得頌讚，得榮耀，名為可喜可樂之城。萬國人因聽見我向這城所賜的福樂、所施的恩惠平安，就懼怕戰兢。」

這百姓是我為自己所造的，好述說我的美德。

無奈，我的民不聽我的聲音；以色列全不理我。

耶和華今日照他所應許你的，也認你為他的子民，使你謹守他的一切誡命，

我設立守望的人照管你們，說：要聽角聲。他們卻說：我們不聽。

耶和華遇見他在曠野－荒涼野獸吼叫之地，就環繞他，看顧他，保護他，如同保護眼中的瞳人。又如鷹攪動巢窩，在雛鷹以上兩翅搧展，接取雛鷹，背在兩翼之上。這樣，耶和華獨自引導他，並無外邦神與他同在。耶和華使他乘駕地的高處，得吃田間的土產；又使他從磐石中咂蜜，從堅石中吸油；也吃牛的奶油，羊的奶，羊羔的脂油，巴珊所出的公綿羊和山羊，與上好的麥子，也喝葡萄汁釀的酒。但耶書崙漸漸肥胖，粗壯，光潤，踢跳，奔跑，便離棄造他的神，輕看救他的磐石；

耶和華揀選雅各歸自己，揀選以色列特作自己的子民。

這惡民不肯聽我的話，按自己頑梗的心而行，隨從別神，事奉敬拜，他們也必像這腰帶變為無用。」

人必稱他們為「聖民」，為「耶和華的贖民」；你也必稱為「被眷顧、不撇棄的城」。

哪一大國的人有神與他們相近，像耶和華－我們的神，在我們求告他的時候與我們相近呢？

差我來的父也為我作過見證。你們從來沒有聽見他的聲音，也沒有看見他的形像。你們並沒有他的道存在心裏；因為他所差來的，你們不信。你們查考聖經，因你們以為內中有永生；給我作見證的就是這經。然而，你們不肯到我這裏來得生命。

你們卻不聽從，不側耳而聽，竟硬着頸項行惡，比你們列祖更甚。

在埃及地顯神蹟奇事，直到今日在以色列和別人中間也是如此，使自己得了名聲，正如今日一樣。

惟有你們是被揀選的族類，是有君尊的祭司，是聖潔的國度，是屬神的子民，要叫你們宣揚那召你們出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。

別國他都沒有這樣待過；至於他的典章，他們向來沒有知道。你們要讚美耶和華！
