But sinful people won’t find what they are looking for. They won’t be able to escape. All they can hope for is to die.”

但恶人的眼目必要失明。他们无路可逃；他们的指望就是气绝。”

但恶人的眼睛要失明；他们无路可逃，他们的指望就是气绝身亡。”

但恶人的眼睛要失明；他们无路可逃，他们的指望就是气绝身亡。”

但恶人必眼目失明，无路可逃，他们的指望只有死亡。”

但恶人的眼目必昏花，逃亡之路也必断绝，他们的指望就是最后的一口气。”

但惡人的眼目必要失明。他們無路可逃；他們的指望就是氣絕。

但惡人的眼睛要失明；他們無路可逃，他們的指望就是氣絕身亡。」

但惡人的眼睛要失明；他們無路可逃，他們的指望就是氣絕身亡。」

但惡人必眼目失明，無路可逃，他們的指望只有死亡。」

但惡人的眼目必昏花，逃亡之路也必斷絕，他們的指望就是最後的一口氣。”

但惡人的眼必失明；他們逃走的路都必斷絕；他們所指望的就只是斷氣。』

惟彼惡人、其目必盲、逃避無地、彼之所望、在絕其生、

維彼惡人、其目必盲、逋逃無藪、彼之失望、與氣之垂盡無異也。

維彼惡人、其目必盲、無處逃避、彼之所望、必泯滅如氣、

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp.”

But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last.”

But the wicked will be blinded. They will have no escape. Their only hope is death.”

But the sight of the wicked will fail. Their way of escape will be cut off, and their only hope is their last breath.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And there will be no escape for them; And their hope is to breathe their last.”

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope— loss of life!”

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

But the sight of the wicked will fail. Their way of escape will be cut off, and their only hope is their last breath.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope[ shall be as] the giving up of the ghost.

But the eyes of the wicked fail, and escape eludes them; their one hope is to breathe their last.”

But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”

Among those nations you won’t find any peace. There won’t be any place where you can make your home and rest your feet. The Lord will give you minds filled with worry. He’ll give you eyes worn out from looking for help. You won’t have any hope in your hearts.

Suppose someone tells lies about their friends to get a reward. Then their own children will suffer for it.

“ I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted. I haven’t let widows lose their hope.

If anyone asks for bad things to happen to their father or mother, that person’s lamp will be blown out in total darkness.

The same thing happens to everyone who forgets God. The hope of ungodly people dies out.What they trust in is very weak. What they depend on is like a spider’s web.

It will be like a man running away from a lion only to meet a bear. He enters his house and rests his hand on a wall only to be bitten by a snake.The day of the Lord will be dark, not light. It will be very black. There won’t be a ray of sunlight anywhere.

And that’s not all. Our eyes grew tired. We looked for help that never came. We watched from our towers. We kept looking for a nation that couldn’t save us.

It blows against them without mercy. They try to escape from its power.

Then how will we escape if we don’t pay attention to God’s great salvation? The Lord first announced this salvation. Those who heard him gave us the message about it.

In the place of the dead, the rich man was suffering terribly. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. Lazarus was by his side.So the rich man called out,‘ Father Abraham! Have pity on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water. Then he can cool my tongue with it. I am in terrible pain in this fire.’“ But Abraham replied,‘ Son, remember what happened in your lifetime. You received your good things. Lazarus received bad things. Now he is comforted here, and you are in terrible pain.Besides, a wide space has been placed between us and you. So those who want to go from here to you can’t go. And no one can cross over from there to us.’

What hope do ungodly people have when their lives are cut short? What hope do they have when God takes away their lives?

Your fastest runners will not escape. The strongest people will not get away. Even soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.

I saw the Lord standing next to the altar in the temple. He said to me,“ Strike the tops of the temple pillars. Then the heavy stones at the base of the entrance will shake. Bring everything down on the heads of everyone there. I will kill with my swords those who are left alive. None of the Israelites will escape. None will get away.They might dig down deep. But my powerful hand will take them out of there. They might climb up to the heavens. But I will bring them down from there.They might hide on top of Mount Carmel. But I will hunt them down and grab them. They might hide from me at the bottom of the ocean. But even there I will command the serpent to bite them.

There is no deep shadow or total darkness where those who do what is evil can hide.

What sinners are afraid of will catch up with them. But those who do right will get what they want.

I’m worn out from calling for help. My throat is very dry. My eyes grow tired looking for my God.

Then here is what I will do to you. All at once I will bring terror on you. I will send sicknesses that will make you weak. I will send fever that will destroy your sight. It will slowly take your strength away. When you plant seeds, it will not do you any good. Instead, your enemies will eat what you have planted.

They are torn away from the safety of their tents. They are marched off to the one who rules over death.
