Again and again I sent my servants the prophets. They said,‘ Don’t worship other gods! The Lord hates it!’

我从早起来差遣我的仆人众先知去说，你们切不要行我所厌恶这可憎之事。

我一再差遣我的仆人众先知去，说：你们切不可行我所厌恶这可憎之事。

我一再差遣我的仆人众先知去，说：你们切不可行我所厌恶这可憎之事。

我屡次差遣我的仆人——众先知警告他们不要再做令我深恶痛绝的事，

虽然我不断差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去，说：你们千万不可行我所恨恶，这可憎的事！

我從早起來差遣我的僕人眾先知去說，你們切不要行我所厭惡這可憎之事。

我一再差遣我的僕人眾先知去，說：你們切不可行我所厭惡這可憎之事。

我一再差遣我的僕人眾先知去，說：你們切不可行我所厭惡這可憎之事。

我屢次差遣我的僕人——眾先知警告他們不要再做令我深惡痛絕的事，

雖然我不斷差遣我的僕人眾先知到你們那裡去，說：你們千萬不可行我所恨惡，這可憎的事！

我差遣我的眾僕人眾神言人去找你們，又屢次又及時地差遣去說：「你們切不可行我所恨的這可厭惡之事。」

我遣我僕諸先知詣爾、夙興而遣之曰、噫、此可憎之事、我所疾者、爾勿行之、

我遣僕先知、誨爾諄諄不已、我所痛疾者、爾莫行之、

我屢屢原文作每晨遣我僕眾先知警教之云、此可憎之事、我所憾者、爾勿行之、

Again and again I sent my servants the prophets, who said,‘ Do not do this detestable thing that I hate!’

Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying,‘ Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’

“ Again and again I sent my servants, the prophets, to plead with them,‘ Don’t do these horrible things that I hate so much.’

So I sent you all my servants the prophets time and time again, saying,‘ Don’t commit this detestable action that I hate.’

Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets again and again, saying,“ Oh, do not do this abominable thing which I hate.”

However I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying,“ Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!”

Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

So I sent you all My servants the prophets time and time again, saying: Don’t do this detestable thing that I hate.

Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending[ them], saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

I sent my servants the prophets to you people over and over again warning you not to do this disgusting thing I hate.

However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying,“ Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”

And listen to the words my servants the prophets are speaking. I have sent them to you again and again. But you have not listened to them.

Again and again I sent my servants the prophets to you. They came to you day after day. They prophesied from the time your people left Egypt until now.

I spoke to you again and again,” announces the Lord.“ I warned you while you were doing all these things. But you did not listen. I called out to you. But you did not answer.

The Lord, the God of Israel, sent word to his people through his messengers. He sent it to them again and again. He took pity on his people. He also took pity on the temple where he lived.

I will pay them back double for their sin and the evil things they have done. They have made my land‘ unclean.’ They have set up lifeless statues of their evil gods. They have filled my land with them. I hate those gods.”

Didn’t I tell you the same thing through the earlier prophets? That was when Jerusalem and the towns around it were at rest and enjoyed success. People lived in the Negev Desert and the western hills at that time.’ ”

That’s because they have not listened to my words,” announces the Lord.“ I sent messages to them again and again. I sent them through my servants the prophets. And you who were taken to Babylon have not listened either,” announces the Lord.

So I went in and looked. All over the walls were pictures of all kinds of crawling things and“ unclean” animals. The Lord hates it when people worship those things. There were also carvings of the gods of the people of Israel.

They turned their backs to me. They would not face me. I taught them again and again. But they would not listen or pay attention when they were corrected.

You lived exactly the way they did. You copied their evil practices. I hate those practices. Everything you did was so sinful that you soon became even worse than they were.

The Lord and King says,“ You poured out your desire on your lovers. You took off your clothing and slept with them. You did it again and again. You worshiped other gods. I hate them. You even sacrificed your children to them.

You have spent enough time in the past doing what ungodly people choose to do. You lived a wild life. You longed for evil things. You got drunk. You went to wild parties. You worshiped statues of gods, which the Lord hates.

“ For 23 years the Lord’ s messages have been coming to me. They began to come in the 13th year that Josiah was king of Judah. He was the son of Amon. The Lord’ s messages still come to me today. I’ve spoken to you people again and again. But you haven’t listened to me.“ The Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you. They’ve come to you again and again. But you haven’t listened. You haven’t paid any attention to them.

The woman was dressed in purple and bright red. She was gleaming with gold, jewels and pearls. In her hand she held a golden cup filled with things that God hates. It was filled with her terrible, dirty sins.The name written on her forehead was a mystery. Here is what it said. the great city of babylon the mother of prostitutes the mother of everything on earth that god hates

So the Lord God who rules over all speaks. The God of Israel says,“ Listen! I am going to bring horrible trouble on Judah. I will also bring it on everyone who lives in Jerusalem. I will bring on them every trouble I said I would. I spoke to them. But they did not listen. I called out to them. But they did not answer.”
