With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;

和地上为自己重造荒邱的君王、谋士，

与那些为自己重建荒凉之处，地上的君王和谋士在一起；

与那些为自己重建荒凉之处，地上的君王和谋士在一起；

与世上的君王和谋臣作伴——他们建造的宫殿已荒废，

与世上那些为自己建造陵墓的君王和谋士同睡，

和地上為自己重造荒邱的君王、謀士，

與那些為自己重建荒涼之處，地上的君王和謀士在一起；

與那些為自己重建荒涼之處，地上的君王和謀士在一起；

與世上的君王和謀臣作伴——他們建造的宮殿已荒廢，

與世上那些為自己建造陵墓的君王和謀士同睡，

跟地上的君王和謀士、跟為自己造荒陵的同安息，

與為己重建邱墟之君相同在、

國王議士、當年所築之陵墓、而今安在。元戎巨富、金銀充棟、而今烏有、我欲與之同歸於盡。

世間君王卿相、卿相或作義士為己建陵墓、彼皆死亡、我亦與之相同、

with kings and rulers of the earth, who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,

I’d be with the earth’s kings and rulers. They had built for themselves places that are now destroyed.

with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for themselves,

I would rest with the world’s kings and prime ministers, whose great buildings now lie in ruins.

with the kings and counselors of the earth, who rebuilt ruined cities for themselves,

With kings and counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;

With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves,

with the kings and counselors of the earth, who rebuilt ruined cities for themselves,

With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;

with kings and counselors of the earth who built for themselves places now desolate,

with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;

And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;

All they shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee.How art thou fallen from heaven, O day- star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations!And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit.They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him( For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?[ Selah

then will I bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.

And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

Damascus was thy merchant for the multitude of thy handiworks, by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for thy wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among thy merchandise.Dedan was thy trafficker in precious cloths for riding.Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of thy hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they thy merchants.The traffickers of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy wares with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, were thy traffickers.These were thy traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.Thy riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the dealers in thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin.At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the suburbs shall shake.And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land,and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads; they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:and they shall make themselves bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, Who is there like Tyre, like her that is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?

For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.

He leadeth counsellors away stripped, And judges maketh he fools.

Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd: And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
