耶利米啊，你们说这座城要因战争、饥荒和瘟疫而落入巴比伦王手中，但以色列的上帝耶和华说，

现在论到这城，就是你们所说、已经因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫交在巴比伦王手中的，耶和华以色列的神如此说：

现在论到这城，就是你们所说，已经因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫被交在巴比伦王手中的，耶和华—以色列的上帝如此说：

现在论到这城，就是你们所说，已经因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫被交在巴比伦王手中的，耶和华—以色列的神如此说：

“论到这城，就是你们说：‘因为刀剑、饥荒和瘟疫的缘故，交在巴比伦王手中的’，现在耶和华以色列的神却这样说：

現在論到這城，就是你們所說、已經因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫交在巴比倫王手中的，耶和華－以色列的神如此說：

現在論到這城，就是你們所說，已經因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫被交在巴比倫王手中的，耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：

現在論到這城，就是你們所說，已經因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫被交在巴比倫王手中的，耶和華－以色列的神如此說：

耶利米啊，你們說這座城要因戰爭、饑荒和瘟疫而落入巴比倫王手中，但以色列的上帝耶和華說，

“論到這城，就是你們說：‘因為刀劍、饑荒和瘟疫的緣故，交在巴比倫王手中的’，現在耶和華以色列的神卻這樣說：

『如今呢、論到這城、你們所說「已因刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫、而交於巴比倫王手中的、永恆主以色列之上帝這麼說的」：

論及是邑、爾言因鋒刃饑饉疫癘、付於巴比倫王手、以色列之上帝耶和華曰、

爾嘗言斯邑之民、戮以鋒刃、因以饉饑、重以疫癘、為巴比倫王所取、惟我以色列族之上帝、昔我忿怒震烈、散民於列邦、今我必撫集之、使歸故土、安居無虞。

今主以色列之天主論斯邑如是云、爾曹言斯邑必因鋒刃、饑饉、疫癘、付於巴比倫王手、

“ You are saying about this city,‘ By the sword, famine and plague it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon’; but this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:

Here is what you people of Judah are saying about this city.“ By war, hunger and plague it will be handed over to the king of Babylon.” But here is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says.

“ Now therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say,‘ It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by pestilence’:

“ Now I want to say something more about this city. You have been saying,‘ It will fall to the king of Babylon through war, famine, and disease.’ But this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:

“ Now therefore, this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to this city about which you said,‘ It has been handed over to Babylon’s king through sword, famine, and plague’:

“ Now therefore the Lord God of Israel says the following concerning this city of which you say,‘ It has been handed over to the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by plague’:

“ Now therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say,‘ It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

And now therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

“ Now therefore, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to this city about which you said,‘ It has been handed over to Babylon’s king through sword, famine, and plague’:

And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

“ You and your people are right in saying,‘ War, starvation, and disease are sure to make this city fall into the hands of the king of Babylon.’ But now I, the LORD God of Israel, have something further to say about this city:

Now therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say,“ It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”

看啊，敌人已经修筑高台要攻打这城，这城要因战争、饥荒和瘟疫而落入迦勒底人手中。你所说的都应验了，你也看见了。

犹大王西底迦囚禁了他，责问他为什么预言说：“耶和华说，‘看啊，我要让巴比伦王攻占这座城。

看啊，我要把这城交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他率领的迦勒底人手中，让他们攻取这城。这是耶和华说的。

我们以前也在他们当中随从罪恶的本性，放纵肉体和心中的私欲，与其他人一样本是惹上帝发怒的人。然而上帝有丰富的怜悯，祂深爱我们，尽管我们死在过犯之中，祂仍然使我们和基督一同活了过来。你们得救是因为上帝的恩典。

那时，你们便会想起自己邪恶的行径，并因自己的罪恶和可憎行为而厌恶自己。主耶和华说，你们应当知道，我这样做并不是为了你们。以色列人啊，你们应当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞。’

“然而，我要挽回她，领她到旷野，柔声安慰她。

可是，你们的行为比他们更邪恶，一意孤行，不听从我。所以，我要把你们从这里驱逐到你们和你们祖先都不认识的地方，你们在那里要日夜供奉别的神明，因为我不再恩待你们。’”耶和华说：“时候将到，那时人不再凭把以色列人带出埃及的耶和华起誓，而是凭把他们从流放之地——北方和列国领回来的永活的耶和华起誓。因为我必领他们回到我赐给他们祖先的地方。”

律法是后来颁布的，使过犯更多地显出来，只是哪里的罪越多，哪里的恩典就显得越丰富。

你并没有花钱买菖蒲献给我，也没有用祭物的脂肪满足我，反而使我因你的罪恶而受累，因你的过犯而烦扰。“我，是我为自己的缘故，除去你的过犯，忘掉你的罪恶。

他们贪婪的罪恶使我发怒，我惩罚他们，愤怒地转脸不理他们，他们却怙恶不悛。我看见了他们的所作所为，但我还是要医治他们，引领他们，使他们和那些哀伤的人得安慰，
