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

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!’

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

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

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 if you will not listen to my servants, the prophets— for I sent them again and again to warn you, but you would not listen to them—

From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my servants, the prophets— day in and day out.

While you were doing these wicked things, says the Lord, I spoke to you about it repeatedly, but you would not listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer.

The Lord, the God of their ancestors, repeatedly sent his prophets to warn them, for he had compassion on his people and his Temple.

I will double their punishment for all their sins, because they have defiled my land with lifeless images of their detestable gods and have filled my territory with their evil deeds.”

Isn’t this the same message the Lord proclaimed through the prophets in years past when Jerusalem and the towns of Judah were bustling with people, and the Negev and the foothills of Judah were well populated?’”

For they refuse to listen to me, though I have spoken to them repeatedly through the prophets I sent. And you who are in exile have not listened either,” says the Lord.

So I went in and saw the walls covered with engravings of all kinds of crawling animals and detestable creatures. I also saw the various idols worshiped by the people of Israel.

My people have turned their backs on me and have refused to return. Even though I diligently taught them, they would not receive instruction or obey.

But you have not merely sinned as they did. You quickly surpassed them in corruption.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have poured out your lust and exposed yourself in prostitution to all your lovers, and because you have worshiped detestable idols, and because you have slaughtered your children as sacrifices to your gods,

You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy— their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

“ For the past twenty three years— from the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, until now— the Lord has been giving me his messages. I have faithfully passed them on to you, but you have not listened.“ Again and again the Lord has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention.

The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality.A mysterious name was written on her forehead:“ Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World.”

“ Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:‘ Because you refuse to listen or answer when I call, I will send upon Judah and Jerusalem all the disasters I have threatened.’”
