彼眾曰、我儕不如設謀、坑害耶利米、攻之以詞、勿聽其所言、蓋祭司非失律法、智者非缺謀略、先知非無預言、

他们就说：“来吧！我们可以设计谋害耶利米；因为我们有祭司讲律法，智慧人设谋略，先知说预言，都不能断绝。来吧！我们可以用舌头击打他，不要理会他的一切话。”

他们说：“来吧！让我们设计谋害耶利米；因为我们有祭司讲律法，有智慧人设谋略，有先知说预言，都未曾断绝。来吧！让我们用舌头攻击他，不要理他一切的话。”

他们说：“来吧！让我们设计谋害耶利米；因为我们有祭司讲律法，有智慧人设谋略，有先知说预言，都未曾断绝。来吧！让我们用舌头攻击他，不要理他一切的话。”

他们说：“来！我们设计对付耶利米吧，反正我们有祭司教导律法，有智者出谋划策，有先知传讲预言。来吧！我们抨击他，不要理会他的话。”

他们说：“来吧！我们来设计对付耶利米；因为祭司的律法、智慧人的谋略、先知的话都不会断绝。来吧！我们用舌头攻击他，不理会他的一切话。”

他們就說：「來吧！我們可以設計謀害耶利米；因為我們有祭司講律法，智慧人設謀略，先知說預言，都不能斷絕。來吧！我們可以用舌頭擊打他，不要理會他的一切話。」

他們說：「來吧！讓我們設計謀害耶利米；因為我們有祭司講律法，有智慧人設謀略，有先知說預言，都未曾斷絕。來吧！讓我們用舌頭攻擊他，不要理他一切的話。」

他們說：「來吧！讓我們設計謀害耶利米；因為我們有祭司講律法，有智慧人設謀略，有先知說預言，都未曾斷絕。來吧！讓我們用舌頭攻擊他，不要理他一切的話。」

他們說：「來！我們設計對付耶利米吧，反正我們有祭司教導律法，有智者出謀劃策，有先知傳講預言。來吧！我們抨擊他，不要理會他的話。」

他們說：“來吧！我們來設計對付耶利米；因為祭司的律法、智慧人的謀略、先知的話都不會斷絕。來吧！我們用舌頭攻擊他，不理會他的一切話。”

他們就說：『來吧，我們來設計謀害耶利米；因為祭司有禮節規矩，智慧人有謀略，神言人有話語，都不能斷絕掉。來吧，我們用口舌攻擊他，他的甚麼話、我們都別理它。』

彼曰、其來、爾我同謀以攻耶利米、因法律不絕於祭司、謀畧不絕於哲人、預言不絕於先知、來哉、我儕以舌攻之、勿聽其言、○

人曰、祭司有律例、智士有箴規、先知有預言、如耶利米其言不可信、予當批其頰、而謀害之。

They said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let’s attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says.”

They said,“ Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”

Then they said,“ Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.”

Then the people said,“ Come on, let’s plot a way to stop Jeremiah. We have plenty of priests and wise men and prophets. We don’t need him to teach the word and give us advice and prophecies. Let’s spread rumors about him and ignore what he says.”

Then certain ones said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or a word from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”

Then they said,“ Come and let’s devise plans against Jeremiah. Certainly the Law is not going to be lost by the priest, nor advice by the wise, nor the divine word by the prophet! Come, and let’s strike at him with our tongue, and let’s pay no attention to any of his words.”

Then they said,“ Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us attack him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.”

Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Then certain ones said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or an oracle from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”

Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Then some people said,“ Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”

Then they said,“ Come! Let’s devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law won’t perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let’s strike him with the tongue, and let’s not give heed to any of his words.”

行詐之人乎、爾舌利如薙刀、捏造毒害之詞、

其時我若柔順之羔羊、被牽至死地、我尚不知其謀害我、曰、盍滅之、如伐樹而毀其果、絕之於有生者之地、使其名不復記念、

彼眾欲加害於爾、曾設奸計、卻不能成、

知識宜在祭司之口、原文作祭司之唇當守知識既為萬有之主之使者、人當由其口求律法、

彼眾礪其舌鋒、猶如利刃、毒言出口、如箭離弦、

生死之關係、在乎出言、珍重言語、必得善果、

我困於群獅間、臥於口吐火焰之人中、其人牙如槍如箭、舌如利刃、

偃息在床、謀惡圖邪、迨至黎明、有力能行即行之、斯人則有禍、貪田而奪之、貪宅而取之、待人以虐、待人以虐或作向人行強暴佔其室、據其業、故主如是云、我必圖維降罰罰或作災下同於斯家、如加重軛於頸項、使爾頸項永不得脫、亦不復得昂首而行、蓋時乃降罰之時、

祭司不尋我、傳法者不識我、民牧悖逆我、先知託巴力之名而言、從無益之事、

押沙龍及以色列人曰、亞基人戶篩之計、較亞希多弗之計尤善、蓋主使亞希多弗之善計、廢而不用、以降禍於押沙龍、

則爾告之曰、主如是云、我必使斯地之眾民、與繼大衛而坐大衛位者、眾祭司、眾先知、及耶路撒冷一切居民、俱如飲滿而醉、主曰、我使之彼此互撞而傷、即為父者與為子者、彼此互撞而傷、我不憐、不恤、不憫、必將滅之、

使巧者陷於己之狡計、使譎者之謀速敗、

今爾當告猶大人、及耶路撒冷居民曰、主如是云、我為爾備禍、意欲降災於爾、爾當各改惡行、所行所為、悉當從善、

基拿拿子西底家前批米該雅頰曰、主之神由何道離我、以指示爾、

貪吝者其術邪惡、其術邪惡原文作其器乃惡專設奸謀、以誑言損害貧民、窮苦者訟時而辨理、彼亦如此、

何沙雅子亞薩利亞、加利亞子約哈難、及諸狂傲之人、告耶利米曰、爾出言虛誑、主我之天主、未嘗遣爾諭我云、勿往居伊及、

或告大衛曰、亞希多弗亦在判黨之中、從押沙龍、大衛禱曰、求主敗亞希多弗之謀、或作亞希多弗定謀求主使人視為愚

以主託摩西所諭諸律例、訓誨以色列人、○

主諭我曰、彼諸先知、假託我名預言、我未嘗遣之、未嘗命之、未嘗諭之、彼以虛偽之默示、卜筮妄誕、及己心之詐譎、傳於爾曹以為預言、今主論彼先知如是云、彼託我名預言、我未嘗遣之、彼曰、斯地必無鋒刃饑饉之災、彼先知必因鋒刃饑饉而滅、聽其預言之民、必遭鋒刃饑饉之災、屍擲耶路撒冷街衢、無人葬埋、妻室子女皆然、蓋我必循其惡而報之、

彼不認主、謂主無有、自言災害不臨我、不遇鋒刃、不遭饑饉、先知所言、非由神感、必顯為空虛若風、彼所遭遇者若此、

有一教法師謂耶穌曰、師、爾言此、亦辱我儕、

萬有之主以色列之天主如是云、爾曾恃己名、寄書達於耶路撒冷居民、與祭司瑪西雅子西番亞、及眾祭司曰、西番亞、主立爾為祭司、以代祭司耶何耶大、督理主殿、使爾執諸狂妄自稱為先知者、囚之於獄、加以桎梏、今亞拿突人耶利米、自稱為先知於爾中、自稱為先知於爾中或作向爾曹述預言何弗斥之、蓋彼曾寄書至巴比倫告我儕云、爾於巴比倫時日必久、當建屋以居、栽園而食其果、祭司西番亞遂讀此書於先知耶利米前、

法利賽人曰、爾曹亦被惑乎、有司及法利賽人、有信之者乎、但此眾不識律法、實可詛也、

旁有數法利賽人聞此言、謂耶穌曰、我儕亦瞽乎、

必循我口所出之言而為、必焚香灌奠、奉事天后、循我平日所為、循昔我列祖與王公、在猶大諸邑、在耶路撒冷街衢所為、當時我得飽食享福、不遇患難、

諸祭司與先知告諸牧伯庶民曰、斯人也、預言斯邑必傾毀、爾親耳所聞、當擬死罪、
