我的弟兄难以信赖，如同季节河，又像变化无常的河道——

我的弟兄诡诈，好像溪水，又像溪水流干的河道。

我的弟兄诡诈，好像河道，像溪水流过的河床，

我的弟兄诡诈，好像河道，像溪水流过的河床，

我的兄弟诡诈像干涸的溪流，又像流干的溪水；

我的弟兄詭詐，好像溪水，又像溪水流乾的河道。

我的弟兄詭詐，好像河道，像溪水流過的河床，

我的弟兄詭詐，好像河道，像溪水流過的河床，

我的弟兄難以信賴，如同季節河，又像變化無常的河道——

我的兄弟詭詐像乾涸的溪流，又像流乾的溪水；

我的弟兄浮躁無恆像溪水，像溪水流過的河床。

我昆弟行詐偽、如溪之竭、如澗之涸、

友我不卒、猶泉之忽竭、潦之立涸、

我友友原文作兄弟失誠、如溪之竭水、如澗之流而即涸、

But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow

But my friends have stopped being kind to me. They are like streams that only flow for part of the year. They are like rivers that flow over their banks

My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,

My brothers, you have proved as unreliable as a seasonal brook that overflows its banks in the spring

My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflow

My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which drain away,

My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;

My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflow

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,[ and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;

My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream, and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams that flow away.

My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;

为什么我的痛楚无休无止？为什么我的创伤无法医治？难道你要像一条时断时流的小溪让我无法依靠吗？

因我的疾病，朋友同伴回避我，亲人远离我。

连我所信赖、吃我饭的挚友也用脚踢我。

看啊！时候快到了，现在就是，你们将要分散，各自回家，只留下我一人。不过，我并非一人，因为父与我在一起。

我这话不是对你们每一个人说的，我知道我拣选了谁，但这是为了要应验圣经上的话，‘吃我饭的人用脚踢我。’

倘若是仇敌辱骂我，我还能忍受；倘若是恨我的人欺凌我，我还可以躲开。可是，竟然是你——我志同道合的伙伴，我的挚友！从前我们情谊深厚，与众人同去上帝的殿。

我的密友都憎恶我，我爱的人也反对我。

这些人在你们的爱宴中是败类。他们肆无忌惮地吃喝，是只顾喂养自己的牧人；是没有雨的云，随风飘荡；是深秋不结果子的树，被连根拔起，彻底枯死。

你们的盟友都忘了你们，对你们漠不关心。我要像你们的仇敌一样击打你们，残酷地惩罚你们，因为你们罪大恶极，罪过无数。

你使我的亲朋好友离我而去，只有黑暗与我相伴。

不要相信邻居，不要信赖朋友，即使对你怀中的妻子也要守口如瓶。因为儿子藐视父亲，女儿与母亲作对，媳妇与婆婆作对；家人之间反目成仇。

你们要提防邻居，不要信赖弟兄，因为弟兄诡计多端，邻居满口是非。他们彼此欺骗，不说真话；他们说谎成性，不知疲倦地肆意犯罪；
