The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it,

我何时论到一邦或一国说，要拔出、拆毁、毁坏；

我何时论到一邦或一国说，要拔出、拆毁、毁坏；

我什么时候宣布要拔出、拆毁、毁灭一邦或一国，

我何時論到一邦或一國說，要拔出、拆毀、毀壞；

我甚麼時候宣布要拔出、拆毀、毀滅一邦或一國，

我甚麼時候論到一邦或一國說，要拔除，要拆毁，要毁滅，

我論一族、或論一國之時、言欲拔之、毀之、翦滅之、

始我命邦國、必當翦滅、撥其根本、而彼邦國、悛改厥行、則我欲降之災、必不行焉。

如我言、某邦某國、當敗當毀當滅、

Thus says the Lord:“ Against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit— behold, I will pluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.Then it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them and bring them back, everyone to his heritage and everyone to his land.And it shall be, if they will learn carefully the ways of My people, to swear by My name,‘ As the Lord lives,’ as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they shall be established in the midst of My people.But if they do not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation,” says the Lord.
