But you must not talk about‘ a message from the Lord’ again. That’s because each person’s own words become their message. And so you twist the Lord’ s words. He is the living God. He is the Lord who rules over all. And he is our God.

‘耶和华的默示’你们不可再提，各人所说的话必作自己的重担，因为你们谬用永生神、万军之耶和华我们神的言语。

你们不可再提“耶和华的默示”，因为各人所说的话必成为自己的重担；你们错用了永生上帝、万军之耶和华—我们上帝的话。

你们不可再提“耶和华的默示”，因为各人所说的话必成为自己的重担；你们错用了永生神、万军之耶和华—我们神的话。

你们不可再说有耶和华的启示，因为你们把自己的话当成祂的启示，曲解你们永活的上帝——万军之耶和华的话。

你们不可再提耶和华的默示，你们各人所说的话将成为自己的重担；因为你们曲解永活的神万军之耶和华我们神的话了。

『耶和華的默示』你們不可再提，各人所說的話必作自己的重擔，因為你們謬用永生神、萬軍之耶和華－我們神的言語。

你們不可再提「耶和華的默示」，因為各人所說的話必成為自己的重擔；你們錯用了永生上帝、萬軍之耶和華－我們上帝的話。

你們不可再提「耶和華的默示」，因為各人所說的話必成為自己的重擔；你們錯用了永生神、萬軍之耶和華－我們神的話。

你們不可再說有耶和華的啟示，因為你們把自己的話當成祂的啟示，曲解你們永活的上帝——萬軍之耶和華的話。

你們不可再提耶和華的默示，你們各人所說的話將成為自己的重擔；因為你們曲解永活的神萬軍之耶和華我們神的話了。

至於「永恆主的神託」呢，你們可不要再提了，因為各人所說的話必成了他自己所托起的，而永活的上帝萬軍之永恆主我們的上帝的話語、你們卻謬用得偏差了。

勿復言耶和華之警示、其人之言、必為己之重負、以爾妄用我維生上帝、萬軍耶和華之言也、

爾勿以萬有之主、永生上帝耶和華之言、戲稱重任、若是則爾所言、亦為重任。

惟勿復言主默示較諸重任、如人復言之、必受重罰、蓋爾謬用萬有之主、我永生天主之言、

But you must not mention‘ a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God.

But‘ the burden of the Lord’ you shall mention no more, for the burden is every man’s own word, and you pervert the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God.

But stop using this phrase,‘ prophecy from the Lord.’ For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

But no longer refer to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes his burden and you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Armies, our God.

For you will no longer remember the pronouncement of the Lord, because every person’s own word will become the pronouncement, and you have perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of armies, our God.

And the oracle of the Lord you shall mention no more. For every man’s word will be his oracle, for you have perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God.

And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts our God.

But no longer refer to the burden of the Lord, for each man’s word becomes his burden and you pervert the words of the living God, the Lord of Hosts, our God.

And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

You must no longer say that the LORD’s message is burdensome. For what is‘ burdensome’ really pertains to what a person himself says. You are misrepresenting the words of our God, the living God, the LORD who rules over all.

You will mention the message from Yahweh no more: for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies, our God.

Paul writes the same way in all his letters. He speaks about what I have just told you. His letters include some things that are hard to understand. People who don’t know better and aren’t firm in the faith twist what he says. They twist the other Scriptures too. So they will be destroyed.

Jerusalem is about to fall. And so is Judah. They say and do things against the Lord. They dare to disobey him to his very face.

What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue? And what more will he do?

But you are the only true God. You are the only living God. You are the King who rules forever. When you are angry, the earth trembles with fear. The nations can’t stand up under your anger.

He will turn their own words against them. He will destroy them. All those who see them will shake their heads and look down on them.

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear everything the field commander has said. His master, the king of Assyria, has sent him to make fun of the living God. Maybe the Lord your God will punish him for what he has heard him say. So pray for the remaining people who are still alive here.’ ”

So then, here is what the Lord’ s message will become to them. Do this and do that. There is a rule for this and a rule for that. Learn a little here and learn a little there. So when they try to go forward, they’ll fall back and be wounded. They’ll be trapped and captured.Listen to the Lord’ s message, you who make fun of the truth. Listen, you who rule over these people in Jerusalem.

These people are like springs without water. They are like mists driven by a storm. The blackest darkness is reserved for them.They speak empty, bragging words. They make their appeal to the evil desires that come from sin’s power. They tempt new believers who are just escaping from the company of sinful people.

What you are accepting is really not the good news at all. It seems that some people have gotten you all mixed up. They are trying to twist the good news about Christ.But suppose even we should preach a different“ good news.” Suppose even an angel from heaven should preach it. Suppose it is different from the good news we gave you. Then let anyone who does that be cursed by God.I have already said it. Now I will say it again. Suppose someone preaches a“ good news” that is different from what you accepted. That person should be cursed by God.

Each person should carry their own load.

David spoke to the men standing near him. He asked them,“ What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine? Goliath is bringing shame on Israel. What will be done for the one who removes it? This Philistine isn’t even circumcised. He dares the armies of the living God to fight him. Who does he think he is?”

He is coming to judge everyone. He is coming to sentence all of them. He will judge them for all the ungodly acts they have done. They have done them in ungodly ways. He will sentence ungodly sinners for all the things they have said to oppose him.”These people complain and find fault with others. They follow their own evil desires. They brag about themselves. They praise others to get what they want.

If your heart is twisted, you won’t succeed. If your tongue tells lies, you will get into trouble.

The believers themselves report the kind of welcome you gave us. They tell about how you turned away from statues of gods. And you turned to serve the living and true God.

“ His master replied,‘ I will judge you by your own words, you evil slave! So you knew that I am a hard man? You knew that I take out what I did not put in? You knew that I harvest what I did not plant?

May the Lord close all lips that don’t mean what they say. May he stop every tongue that brags.

We have heard the voice of the living God. We’ve heard him speaking out of the fire. Has any other human being ever heard him speak like that and stayed alive?

But here is what I tell you. On judgment day, everyone will have to account for every empty word they have spoken.

Let them carry out God’s sentence against those nations. This will bring glory to all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.

“ Friends, why are you doing this? We are only human, just like you. We are bringing you good news. Turn away from these worthless things. Turn to the living God. He is the one who made the heavens and the earth and the sea. He made everything in them.

In fact, I’ve killed both a lion and a bear. I’ll do the same thing to this Philistine. He isn’t even circumcised. He has dared the armies of the living God to fight him.

Now stop making fun of me. If you don’t, your chains will become heavier. The Lord who rules over all has spoken to me. The Lord has told me he has ordered that the whole land be destroyed.
