婦女們說：『我們向天后燻祭，澆奠祭，難道沒有我們丈夫的同意就作天后像的祭餅去供奉她，向她澆奠祭麼？』

妇女说：“我们向天后烧香、浇奠祭，做天后像的饼供奉她，向她浇奠祭，是外乎我们的丈夫吗？”

妇女们说：“我们向天后烧香，献浇酒祭，做天后像的饼供奉它，向它献浇酒祭，难道我们的丈夫没有参与吗？”

妇女们说：“我们向天后烧香，献浇酒祭，做天后像的饼供奉它，向它献浇酒祭，难道我们的丈夫没有参与吗？”

那些烧香的妇女说：“你以为我们的丈夫不知道我们向天后烧香奠酒、照着她的形象做祭饼吗？”

那些妇女又说：“我们不错是向天后烧香和浇奠祭，难道我们的丈夫不知道我们照着天后的形象制饼供奉她，向她浇奠祭吗？”

婦女說：「我們向天后燒香、澆奠祭，做天后像的餅供奉她，向她澆奠祭，是外乎我們的丈夫嗎？」

婦女們說：「我們向天后燒香，獻澆酒祭，做天后像的餅供奉它，向它獻澆酒祭，難道我們的丈夫沒有參與嗎？」

那些燒香的婦女說：「你以為我們的丈夫不知道我們向天后燒香奠酒、照著她的形像做祭餅嗎？」

那些婦女又說：“我們不錯是向天后燒香和澆奠祭，難道我們的丈夫不知道我們照著天后的形象製餅供奉她，向她澆奠祭嗎？”

我焚香灌奠於天后、作餅以象其形、加以灌奠、我夫豈不與乎、

諸婦女曰、昔我焚香、灌奠、為餅、以事天后、豈非我夫所許乎。

婦女曰、我焚香灌奠並作餅、以奉事天后、豈非我夫所許乎、

The women added,“ When we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did not our husbands know that we were making cakes impressed with her image and pouring out drink offerings to her?”

The women added,“ We burned incense to the Queen of Heaven. We poured out drink offerings to her. And our husbands knew we were making cakes that looked like her. They knew we were pouring out drink offerings to her.”

And the women said,“ When we made offerings to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ approval that we made cakes for her bearing her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

“ Besides,” the women added,“ do you suppose that we were burning incense and pouring out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven, and making cakes marked with her image, without our husbands knowing it and helping us? Of course not!”

And the women said,“ When we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it apart from our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

“ And,” said the women,“ when we were burning sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands that we made for her sacrificial cakes in her image, and poured out drink offerings to her?”

The women also said,“ And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes for her, to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her without our husbands’ permission?”

And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink- offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink- offerings unto her, without our husbands?

And the women said,“ When we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it apart from our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

The women added,“ We did indeed sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven. But it was with the full knowledge and approval of our husbands that we made cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her.”

“ When we burned incense to the queen of the sky, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”

兒子們撿柴，父老們燒火，婦女們摶麵作祭餅，獻給天后，又向別的神澆奠祭，以惹我發怒。

於是那些知道自己的妻子曾向別的神燻祭的眾人、和那些站在那裏的眾婦女、一大羣大眾、以及那些住埃及地、巴忒羅的眾民、就回答耶利米說：

永恆主上帝說：『誰告訴你你赤身裸體呢？我吩咐你不可喫的樹上果子，莫非你喫了麼？』那人說：『你所賜給我、和我同居的女人，她把那樹上的果子給了我，我就喫了。』

我敢頓手擔保，壞人必難免於受罰；但義人的族類必蒙救拔。

對那女人呢，永恆主上帝也說：『我必定增多你懷孕的疼痛；你必在疼痛中生兒女；你必戀慕你丈夫；你丈夫必管轄你。』對亞當永恆主上帝則說：『你既聽了你妻子的話，喫那樹上的果子，就是我吩咐你說：「不可喫」的，那麼土地就必因你的緣故而受咒詛；儘你一生的日子你必勞苦，才能從土地得喫的；

他走了以色列諸王所走的路，正如亞哈家所行的；因為他娶了亞哈的女兒做妻子，行永恆主所看為壞的事。

不可和他們結親；不可將你的女兒嫁給他們的兒子，也不可使你的兒子娶他們的女兒。因為他會使你的兒子偏離、而不跟從我，反而去事奉別的神，以致永恆主向你們發怒，而迅速消滅你們。

於是女人見那棵樹的果子做食品似乎好喫，又悅人眼目，而且可喜愛、能使人有智慧，就摘取那果子來喫了；又給她丈夫一齊喫，她丈夫也喫了。

『她嫁給丈夫的時候若已經有願在身，或是她嘴裏已經說了約束自己的冒失話，她丈夫聽見了，卻在聽見的日子、對於她默不作聲，那麼她所許的願就必立定，而她所約束自己的話，也必立定。

希羅底逼着他，想要殺他，只是不能。因為希律敬畏約翰，知道他是正義聖潔的人，直保護他。他聽了他，就大大為難，但也喜歡聽他。有個好機會的日子到了：當他生日的時候，希律給他的大官、千夫長、加利利的首領、擺設筵席。希羅底自己的女兒進去跳舞；她得了希律和一同坐席的人的歡心；於是王對閨女說：『凡你所願意的，求我，我就給你。』他並且對她起誓說：『凡你所求的，甚至於我國的一半，我也要給你。』閨女就出來，對她母親說：『我要求甚麼？』她母親說：『施洗約翰的頭。』她隨即趕快進去，到王面前求說：『願王即刻把施洗者約翰的頭放在盤子裏給我。』王很是憂困；只因有了起誓的話和坐席的人，就不好意思辭絕她。王立刻差遣一個衛兵，吩咐將約翰的頭拿來。衛兵就去，在監裏把約翰斬首，

只是從來沒有人像亞哈的；他出賣了他自己、去行永恆主所看為壞的事；王后耶洗別教唆了他，
