然而，你要對他們說：‘這就是不聽從耶和華他們神的話，不受管教的國；誠實喪盡，並已從他們的口中斷絕了。

你要对他们说：‘这就是不听从耶和华他们神的话、不受教训的国民；从他们的口中，诚实灭绝了。’”

你要对他们说：‘这就是不听从耶和华—他们上帝的话、不领受训诲的国民；诚信已从他们口中消失殆尽了。

你要对他们说：‘这就是不听从耶和华—他们神的话、不领受训诲的国民；诚信已从他们口中消失殆尽了。

你要对他们说，‘你们这些国民不听你们上帝耶和华的话，不肯受管教，口中毫无真理。

然而，你要对他们说：‘这就是不听从耶和华他们神的话，不受管教的国；诚实丧尽，并已从他们的口中断绝了。

你要對他們說：這就是不聽從耶和華－他們神的話、不受教訓的國民；從他們的口中，誠實滅絕了。」

你要對他們說：『這就是不聽從耶和華－他們上帝的話、不領受訓誨的國民；誠信已從他們口中消失殆盡了。

你要對他們說：『這就是不聽從耶和華－他們神的話、不領受訓誨的國民；誠信已從他們口中消失殆盡了。

你要對他們說，『你們這些國民不聽你們上帝耶和華的話，不肯受管教，口中毫無真理。

你要對他們說：「這就是不聽永恆主他們之上帝的聲音，不接受管教的國；忠信已經滅沒，被割斷離開他們的口了。

宜語之曰、斯乃不聽其上帝耶和華之言、不受訓誨之國、真實亡矣、絕於其口、○

故當切指之曰、斯民不聽其上帝耶和華之命、不受訓誨、不言真實、

爾則指之曰、斯民不聽其天主之言、不受訓誨、不言真實、不言真實原文作真實無有絕於其口○

Therefore say to them,‘ This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.

So say to them,‘ You are a nation that has not obeyed the Lord your God. You did not pay attention when you were corrected. Truth has died out. You do not tell the truth anymore.’ ”

And you shall say to them,‘ This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.

Say to them,‘ This is the nation whose people will not obey the Lord their God and who refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips.

Therefore, declare to them,‘ This is the nation that would not listen to the LORD their God and would not accept discipline. Truth has perished— it has disappeared from their mouths.

And you shall say to them,‘ This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept discipline; trustworthiness has perished and has been eliminated from their mouth.

“ So you shall say to them,‘ This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the Lord their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.

And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

You must therefore declare to them: This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the Lord their God and would not accept discipline. Truth has perished— it has disappeared from their mouths.

But thou shalt say unto them, This[ is] a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

So tell them:‘ This is a nation that has not obeyed the LORD their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore.

You shall tell them,‘ This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

公平被迫後退，公義站在遠處；誠實在街上跌倒，正直不能進入。誠實缺乏，遠離惡事的人反成為掠物。耶和華看見了，就看這為惡事（“就看這為惡事”或譯：“很不喜悅”），因為一點公平也沒有。

嗐！犯罪的國，罪孽深重的子民，行惡的子孫，敗壞的兒女！他們離棄了耶和華，藐視以色列的聖者，他們轉離了他。你們為甚麼屢次悖逆，還要受責打嗎？你們整個頭都受了傷，整個心都發昏了。

他們以背向我，不以臉向我；我不斷教導他們，他們卻不肯聽從，不接受管教；

她不聽話，也不受管教；她不倚靠耶和華，也不親近她的神。

耶和華啊！你的眼目不是要看誠實的事嗎？你擊打他們，他們卻不覺得傷痛；你摧毀他們，他們仍不肯接受管教。他們板著臉，臉皮比磐石還硬，總不肯回轉。

敬畏耶和華是知識的開端，但愚妄人藐視智慧和教訓。

以色列人哪！你們要聽耶和華的話。耶和華要與這地的居民爭辯，因為在這地上沒有誠實，沒有慈愛，也沒有認識神的知識；

至於你，你憎恨管教，並且把我的話丟在背後。

風箱猛烈地吹，鉛在火中銷熔；他們煉而又煉，徒勞無功，因為邪惡的仍未除去。人要稱他們為被棄的銀渣，因為耶和華把他們棄絕了。

耶路撒冷啊！應當受警戒，免得我的心與你疏遠，免得我使你荒涼，成為無人居住之地。”

“你們去走遍耶路撒冷的街道，到處觀察留意，又在城的廣場上尋覓；如果能找到一個行正義、求誠實的人，我就赦免這城。

“我責打你們的兒女也是沒用，因為他們不受管教。你們的刀劍，像滅命的獅子吞噬你們的先知。

我說：“她定要敬畏我，接受管教。”這樣，她的住所必不會照著我原定對她的懲罰被剪除。可是他們殷勤行惡，敗壞了自己一切所作的。

虔敬的人從地上滅絕了，人間也沒有正直的人，人人都埋伏著要流人的血，各人都用網羅獵取自己的兄弟。他們雙手善於作惡，官長和審判官都要求報酬；達官貴人說出心裡的慾望；他們歪曲了一切。他們中最好的，也不過像荊棘，最正直的，也不過是有刺的籬笆。你的守望者所預言的日子，和你被鑒察的時候，已經來到；現在他們必要慌亂不安。不可信靠鄰舍，也不可信任朋友，要守住你的嘴唇，不可向躺在你懷中的妻子透露。

“他們彎曲舌頭，像彎弓一樣；在這地得勢的是虛謊，不是誠實；因為他們變本加厲地作惡，連我也不認識。”這是耶和華的宣告。“你們各人要提防自己的鄰舍，不要信靠兄弟；因為每一個兄弟都在欺騙人，每一個鄰舍都搬弄是非。他們各人都欺騙自己的鄰舍，不說誠實話。他們訓練自己的舌頭說謊話，竭力作孽，以致他們不能回轉（按照《馬索拉文本》，本句意思難確定；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯）。欺凌加上欺凌，詭詐加上詭詐（按照《馬索拉文本》，“欺凌加上欺凌，詭詐加上詭詐”作“你的住所在詭詐中；在詭詐裡”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯），他們不肯認識我。”這是耶和華的宣告。因此，萬軍之耶和華這樣說：“看哪！我要熬煉他們，試驗他們；因我子民（“我子民”原文作“我子民的女子”）的罪惡，我還可以作甚麼呢？他們的舌頭是殺人的利箭，嘴裡說的是詭詐；跟鄰舍說話滿口甜言蜜語，心底裡卻設計陷害他。
