我的百姓竟忘记我，向假神烧香，使他们在所行的路上，在古道上绊跌，使他们行没有修筑的斜路，

我的百姓竟忘记我，向那虚无的神明烧香，它们使百姓在所行的路上、在古道上绊跌，去行未修筑的斜路，

我的百姓竟忘记我，向那虚无的神明烧香，它们使百姓在所行的路上、在古道上绊跌，去行未修筑的斜路，

然而，我的子民却把我抛诸脑后，向虚无的神明烧香，偏离古道，在歧途上绊绊跌跌。

但我的子民竟忘记我，向虚无的偶像烧香，以致他们在自己的路上、在古道上绊倒，行走小路，不是修建过的大道。

我的百姓竟忘記我，向假神燒香，使他們在所行的路上，在古道上絆跌，使他們行沒有修築的斜路，

我的百姓竟忘記我，向那虛無的神明燒香，它們使百姓在所行的路上、在古道上絆跌，去行未修築的斜路，

我的百姓竟忘記我，向那虛無的神明燒香，它們使百姓在所行的路上、在古道上絆跌，去行未修築的斜路，

然而，我的子民卻把我拋諸腦後，向虛無的神明燒香，偏離古道，在歧途上絆絆跌跌。

但我的子民竟忘記我，向虛無的偶像燒香，以致他們在自己的路上、在古道上絆倒，行走小路，不是修建過的大道。

然而我人民竟忘記了我，去向虛空的神燻祭，在他們的路上、往古的路途上、絆跌，去行偏的路徑，不是填高的道路，

惟我民忘我、焚香於虛無之物、蹶於故轍、致行未築之路、

我民忘予、焚香以敬偶像、舍平坦之舊道、而不由、行崎嶇之僻路、而顛趾。

我民忘我、焚香於虛無之神、人使之蹶於其道、即舊道、使行未平治之途、

Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to worthless idols, which made them stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths. They made them walk in byways, on roads not built up.

But my people have forgotten me. They burn incense to worthless gods. Their gods made them trip and fall as they walked on the old paths. They made them use side roads instead of roads that were built up.

But my people have forgotten me; they make offerings to false gods; they made them stumble in their ways, in the ancient roads, and to walk into side roads, not the highway,

But my people are not so reliable, for they have deserted me; they burn incense to worthless idols. They have stumbled off the ancient highways and walk in muddy paths.

Yet my people have forgotten me. They burn incense to worthless idols that make them stumble in their ways on the ancient roads, and make them walk on new paths, not the highway.

For My people have forgotten Me, They burn incense to worthless gods. And they have stumbled in their ways, In the ancient roads, To walk on paths, Not on a highway,

“ Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths, To walk in pathways and not on a highway,

For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;

Yet My people have forgotten Me. They burn incense to false idols that make them stumble in their ways on the ancient roads and walk on new paths, not the highway.

Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways[ from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths,[ in] a way not cast up;

Yet my people have forgotten me and offered sacrifices to worthless idols! This makes them stumble along in the way they live and leave the old reliable path of their fathers. They have left them to walk in bypaths, in roads that are not smooth and level.

For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. They have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up,

This is what the Lord says:“ Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said,‘ We will not walk in it.’ (niv)

And it will be said:“ Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.” (niv)

Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. (niv)

But the more they were called, the more they went away from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images. (niv)

But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi,” says the Lord Almighty. (niv)

They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish. (niv)

“ My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. (niv)

I will punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals; she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but me she forgot,” declares the Lord. (niv)

Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, along with all the women who were present— a large assembly— and all the people living in Lower and Upper Egypt, said to Jeremiah,“ We will not listen to the message you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord!We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and our ancestors, our kings and our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and were well off and suffered no harm.But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have had nothing and have been perishing by sword and famine.”The women added,“ When we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did not our husbands know that we were making cakes impressed with her image and pouring out drink offerings to her?” (niv)

See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion. (niv)

Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water. (niv)

This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you,” declares the Lord,“ because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods. (niv)

both your sins and the sins of your ancestors,” says the Lord.“ Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains and defied me on the hills, I will measure into their laps the full payment for their former deeds.” (niv)

A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the Lord their God. (niv)

Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say,“ Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. (niv)

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. (niv)

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives have done what you said you would do when you promised,‘ We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.’“ Go ahead then, do what you promised! Keep your vows! (niv)

Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led astray. (niv)

Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. My people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path. (niv)

Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations. (niv)

they are not to‘ honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. (niv)

They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal— something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind. (niv)

Your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe of me,” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty. (niv)
