猶大王希西家和猶大眾人哪有把他治死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏永恆主，求他的情面；而永恆主就改變心意、不降他所說要降與他們的災禍麼？但我們呢、我們竟要行個大惡、來害自己的性命了！』

犹大王希西家和犹大众人岂是把他治死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华、恳求他的恩吗？耶和华就后悔，不把自己所说的灾祸降与他们。若治死这人，我们就作了大恶，自害己命。”

“犹大王希西家和犹大人岂是把他处死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华，恳求耶和华施恩吗？耶和华就改变心意，不把所说的灾祸降与他们。若处死这人，我们就做了大恶，害死自己了。”

“犹大王希西家和犹大人岂是把他处死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华，恳求耶和华施恩吗？耶和华就改变心意，不把所说的灾祸降与他们。若处死这人，我们就做了大恶，害死自己了。”

“但犹大王希西迦和犹大众人并没有处死他。希西迦敬畏耶和华，求祂开恩，耶和华才施怜悯，没有把原本预备的灾祸降给他们。若处死这人，我们会大祸临头。”

犹大王希西家和犹大众人可曾把他处死呢？希西家不是敬畏耶和华，求他开恩，以致耶和华回心转意，没有把他所说的灾祸降在他们身上吗？但我们现在竟自招大祸。”

猶大王希西家和猶大眾人豈是把他治死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華、懇求他的恩嗎？耶和華就後悔，不把自己所說的災禍降與他們。若治死這人，我們就作了大惡，自害己命。」（

「猶大王希西家和猶大人豈是把他處死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華，懇求耶和華施恩嗎？耶和華就改變心意，不把所說的災禍降與他們。若處死這人，我們就做了大惡，害死自己了。」

「猶大王希西家和猶大人豈是把他處死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華，懇求耶和華施恩嗎？耶和華就改變心意，不把所說的災禍降與他們。若處死這人，我們就做了大惡，害死自己了。」

「但猶大王希西迦和猶大眾人並沒有處死他。希西迦敬畏耶和華，求祂開恩，耶和華才施憐憫，沒有把原本預備的災禍降給他們。若處死這人，我們會大禍臨頭。」

猶大王希西家和猶大眾人可曾把他處死呢？希西家不是敬畏耶和華，求他開恩，以致耶和華回心轉意，沒有把他所說的災禍降在他們身上嗎？但我們現在竟自招大禍。”

猶大王希西家、及猶大眾、豈致之於死乎、王非寅畏耶和華、而求其恩、致耶和華回意、不降所言之災乎、今我行此、乃自害己命耳、

猶大王希西家、與猶大庶民、未嘗加斯人以殺戮、惟敬畏耶和華、求其恩祐、故災害不果降、我今若殺耶利米、必罹禍災。

猶大王希西家與猶大庶民、何嘗殺之、惟希西家敬畏主、祈禱主、則主更易其志、不降所言欲降之災、我儕今竟欲行此大惡、自取罪戾、

“ Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah fear the Lord and seek his favor? And did not the Lord relent, so that he did not bring the disaster he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!”

Did King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah put Micah to death? Hezekiah had respect for the Lord and tried to please him. And the Lord didn’t judge Jerusalem as he said he would. He didn’t bring on it the trouble he said he would bring. But we are about to bring horrible trouble on ourselves!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, and did not the Lord relent of the disaster that he had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great disaster upon ourselves.”

But did King Hezekiah and the people kill him for saying this? No, they turned from their sins and worshiped the Lord. They begged him for mercy. Then the Lord changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had pronounced against them. So we are about to do ourselves great harm.”

Did King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did not the king fear the LORD and plead for the LORD’s favor, and did not the LORD relent concerning the disaster he had pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah actually put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the favor of the Lord, and the Lord relented of the disaster which He had pronounced against them? But we are committing a great evil against our own lives!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah ever put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and seek the LORD’s favor? And the Lord relented concerning the doom which He had pronounced against them. But we are doing great evil against ourselves.”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat the favor of Jehovah, and Jehovah repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the Lord’s favor, and did not the Lord relent concerning the disaster He had pronounced against them? We are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

King Hezekiah and all the people of Judah did not put him to death, did they? Did not Hezekiah show reverence for the LORD and seek the LORD’s favor? Did not the LORD forgo destroying them as he threatened he would? But we are on the verge of bringing great disaster on ourselves.”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”

於是永恆主就改變心意不降災禍，就是他說、要向他人民施行的。

天使向耶路撒冷伸手要殺滅城裏的人，永恆主就後悔、不降這災，便對那殺滅人民的天使說：『夠了；現在放手吧。』那時永恆主的使者在耶布斯人亞勞拿的禾場附近。

因為我們列祖不忠實，行了永恆主我們的上帝所看為壞的事，離棄了他，轉臉不顧永恆主的居所，而以背向他。他們並且封鎖廊門，熄滅燈火，不在聖所中向以色列的上帝燒香、或獻上燔祭。因此永恆主的震怒臨到了猶大和耶路撒冷，使他們成了令人不寒而慄、令人驚駭嗤笑的對象，正如你們親眼見過的。你看，我們祖宗倒斃在刀下，我們的兒女妻子也都因此而被擄。現在我心中有意思要和永恆主以色列的上帝立約，好使他的烈怒轉離了我們。我的眾子啊，現在你們不要懈怠，因為永恆主是揀選了你們站在他面前伺候他，做伺候他向他燻祭的人。』

希西家向永恆主禱告說：『萬軍之永恆主、以色列的上帝、坐在基路伯中間的啊，惟獨你是地上萬國的上帝；是你造了天地。永恆主啊，傾耳以聽哦！永恆主啊，睜開眼睛來看哦！請聽西拿基立的話，就是那打發使者來辱罵永活之上帝的。永恆主啊，亞述諸王真地使所有的國家和它們的地都乾燥荒涼，將它們的神像都扔在火裏；因為他們並不是神，乃是人手造的，木頭石頭的；所以他們除滅他們。永恆主我們的上帝啊，現在求你拯救我們脫離亞述王的手，使地上萬國都知道惟獨你、永恆主、才是上帝。』

希西家卻沒有照他所受的恩待來報答永恆主，因為他心高氣傲；故此永恆主震怒了他，也震怒猶大和耶路撒冷。但是希西家又為了自己的心高氣傲而謙卑自己；他和耶路撒冷的居民都謙卑，故此當希西家活着的日子、永恆主的震怒就沒有臨到他們。

希西家王聽見，就撕裂衣服，披上麻布，進了永恆主的殿。

若是出於上帝，你們就不能覆滅他們，恐怕倒要見為攻擊上帝了！』

或者永恆主你的上帝聽見參謀長的話，就是他主上亞述王打發他來辱罵永活之上帝的；或者永恆主你的上帝會斥責他所聽見的話：故此求你為所有餘剩之民呈上禱告。」』

是因為她的神言人的罪，她的祭司的罪孽，就是那些在城中流了義人之血的。他們眼瞎盲盲、在街上亂走，污染着血；以致素常不敢觸着的，如今竟用服裝去觸着了。

希西家王和亞摩斯的兒子神言人以賽亞因此就禱告，向天哀呼。

天哪，聖眾使徒和神言人哪，因那城而歡躍吧！因為上帝已為你們伸雪而判罰她了。』有一位大有力量的天使舉起一塊石頭來、像大磨石、丟在海裏、說：『巴比倫大城也必這樣砰磅一下被丟下，決不能再看到了！彈絃琴、作樂、吹簫笛、吹號筒者、的聲音在你中間決不能再聽到了；各手工業各手藝人在你中間決不能再看到了；石磨的聲音在你中間決不能再聽到了；燈光決不能再照耀於你中間了；新郎新娘的聲音在你中間決不能再聽到了；因為你的商人曾經是地上的大人物；因為列國都曾在你的邪術中受了迷惑。』在這裏並且見有神言人和聖徒們的血、以及地上一切被屠殺之人的血。

你剪除掉許多外族之民，圖謀使你的家蒙羞，而賠上你自己的性命。

叫他把那些犯罪而賣掉自己性命的人的香爐錘成片子、來包祭壇；那些香爐是他們在永恆主面前獻過的，故此已經成了聖別；並且可以給以色列人做鑑戒。』

叫流在地上的義血都歸到你們身上，從義人亞伯的血起，直到巴拉加兒子撒迦利亞的血為止；他就是你們在殿堂和祭壇間所殺害的。

只是分封王希律、因了自己兄弟的妻子希羅底的事、又因了自己所行的一切惡事受約翰指責、竟在一切之上多加了一件：把約翰關在監裏。

他們曾流過聖徒和神言人們的血，你也把血給了他們喝；他們是該受的。』

這樣，你們就不至於使你們所在之地成了俗污，因為血能使地成了俗污；若有在地上流人血的，非流那殺人者的血，那地之被血染就不能得潔除。你們所住的地、就是我所居於其中的、你們不可使它蒙不潔，因為我永恆主居於以色列人中間。』

如今呢、永恆主萬軍之上帝、以色列之上帝這麼說：你們為甚麼行這大壞事、自害己命、而從猶大中將你們的男人、婦女、嬰孩、和喫奶的、都剪除掉、不留下一個餘剩之民呢？

彼拉多見無濟於事，反會生亂，就拿水當羣眾面前洗手說：『這人流血而死，我全無辜；你們自理吧。』眾民都回答說：『他的血歸到我們、和我們的子孫身上。』

或者他們肯聽從，各人回轉、離開各人邪惡的壞行徑，使我改變心意、不將我因他們敗壞之行為想要施行的災禍、降與他們。

不過你們要確實知道，你們若把我治死，就必使無辜人的血歸到你們和這城、以及它的居民，因為永恆主實在差遣了我到你們中間來，將這一切話傳到你們耳中。』

因為你看，永恆主從他的所在出來，要察罰地上居民的罪孽；地必暴露地上的血，不再掩蓋着被殺的人了。

『你們去，為我、為以色列中和猶大中的餘民、將所發現這一卷書上的話尋問永恆主；因為永恆主的烈怒倒在我們身上來的很大；這是因為我們列祖沒有遵守永恆主的話，沒有照一切寫在這書上的去行的緣故。』

羔羊揭開了第五個印的時候，我看見祭壇底下有那些為了上帝之道、為了他們所執守的見證、而被屠殺之人的靈魂。他們大聲喊着說：『聖而真的主宰啊，你不審判、而向住在地上的人伸我們流血的冤、要等到幾時呢？』
