我若出到田间，看哪，有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，看哪，有因饥荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往来经商，不知如何是好。

我若出往田间，就见有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，就见有因饥荒患病的；连先知带祭司在国中往来，也是毫无知识。’”

我若出到田间，看哪，有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，看哪，有因饥荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往来经商，不知如何是好。

我走到田间，眼前是具具被杀的尸体；我进入城里，见饥荒肆虐，祭司和先知也流亡异乡。’”

如果我出到田间，就看见那些被刀剑所杀的人；如果我走进城里，就看见因饥荒而来的各种疾病。连先知和祭司也流亡到他们素不认识的地方。’”

我若出往田間，就見有被刀殺的；我若進入城內，就見有因饑荒患病的；連先知帶祭司在國中往來，也是毫無知識。

我若出到田間，看哪，有被刀殺的；我若進入城內，看哪，有因饑荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往來經商，不知如何是好。

我若出到田間，看哪，有被刀殺的；我若進入城內，看哪，有因饑荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往來經商，不知如何是好。

我走到田間，眼前是具具被殺的屍體；我進入城裡，見饑荒肆虐，祭司和先知也流亡異鄉。』」

如果我出到田間，就看見那些被刀劍所殺的人；如果我走進城裡，就看見因饑荒而來的各種疾病。連先知和祭司也流亡到他們素不認識的地方。’”

我若出去到田間，就見有那些被刀劍刺殺的人！我若進入城裏，就見有那些因饑荒而生病的人！連神言人帶祭司在這地都忙於他們的生意經，也不知不覺！」』

我若往於田、則見為刃所戮者、我若入於邑、則見因饑而病者、先知祭司、遊於未識之地、○

往於田、所見無非殺戮、入於邑、觸目盡是餓殍、先知祭司、往來貿易、不以為意。

我若往於田、則見被刃殺戮者、若入於邑、則見因饑困憊者、先知祭司飄流於地、不知將若之何、先知祭司飄流於地不知將若之何或作先知祭司飄流於素不識之地

If I go into the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I go into the city, I see the ravages of famine. Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they know not.’”

Suppose I go into the country. Then I see people who have been killed by swords. Or suppose I go into the city. Then I see people who have died of hunger. Prophet and priest alike have gone to a land they hadn’t known about before.’ ”

If I go out into the field, behold, those pierced by the sword! And if I enter the city, behold, the diseases of famine! For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land and have no knowledge.’”

If I go out into the fields, I see the bodies of people slaughtered by the enemy. If I walk the city streets, I see people who have died of starvation. The prophets and priests continue with their work, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

If I go out to the field, look— those slain by the sword! If I enter the city, look— those ill from famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.

If I go out to the country, There are those killed by the sword! Or if I enter the city, There are diseases from famine! For both prophet and priest Have wandered around in the land that they do not know.’ ”

If I go out to the field, Then behold, those slain with the sword! And if I enter the city, Then behold, those sick from famine! Yes, both prophet and priest go about in a land they do not know.’”

If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.

If I go out to the field, look— those slain by the sword! If I enter the city, look— those ill from famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.

If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.

If I go out into the countryside, I see those who have been killed in battle. If I go into the city, I see those who are sick because of starvation. For both prophet and priest go about their own business in the land without having any real understanding.’”

If I go out into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”

外有刀剑，内有瘟疫、饥荒。在田野的，必因刀剑而死；在城中的，必遭饥荒、瘟疫吞灭。

耶和华啊，求你观看，因为我在急难中；我的心肠烦乱，我心在我里面翻转，因我大大背逆。在外，刀剑使人丧亡；在家，犹如死亡。

因此，我必将他们的妻子给别人，将他们的田地给别人为业；因为他们从最小的到最大的都贪图不义之财，从先知到祭司全都行事虚假。

就是先知说假预言，祭司把权柄抓在自己手上，我的百姓也喜爱这样，到了结局你们要怎么办呢？”

四月初九，城里的饥荒非常严重，当地的百姓都没有粮食。城被攻破，士兵全都在夜间从靠近王园两城墙中间的门逃跑出城；迦勒底人正在四围攻城，他们就往亚拉巴逃去。

“耶和华必将你和你所立统治你的王，领到你和你列祖不认识的国去；在那里你必事奉别神，就是木头和石头。

“因为他们从最小的到最大的都贪图不义之财，从先知到祭司全都行事虚假。

我并未差遣那些先知，他们竟自奔跑；我没有对他们说话，他们竟自预言。

祭司从来不问：‘耶和华在哪里呢？’传讲律法的不认识我，官长违背我，先知藉巴力说预言，随从无益的东西。”

这都因她先知的罪恶和祭司的罪孽，他们在城中流了义人的血。他们如盲人在街上徘徊，又被血玷污，以致人不敢摸他们的衣服。人向他们喊着：“你这不洁净的，走开！走开！走开！不要摸我！”他们逃走流浪的时候，列国中有人说：“他们不可再寄居此地。”耶和华亲自赶散他们，不再眷顾他们；不看重祭司，也不厚待长老。

这些人也因酒摇晃，因烈酒东倒西歪。祭司和先知因烈酒摇晃，被酒所困，因烈酒东倒西歪。他们错解默示，审判时不分是非。

耶和华必把你们分散在万民中，从地的这边到地的另一边，在那里你必事奉你和你列祖不认识的神明，就是木头和石头。

被刀剑刺杀的胜过因饥饿而死的；饥饿者由于缺乏田里的出产就消瘦而亡。

他们因贪婪，要用捏造的言语在你们身上取得利益。他们的惩罚，自古以来并不迟延；他们的灭亡也必迅速来到。

城里的领袖为贿赂行审判，祭司为酬劳施训诲，先知为银钱行占卜；他们却倚赖耶和华，说：“耶和华不是在我们中间吗？灾祸必不临到我们。”
