我的弟兄詭詐，好像溪水，又像溪水流乾的河道。

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，

我的弟兄难以信赖，如同季节河，又像变化无常的河道——

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;

我的痛苦為何長久不止呢？我的傷痕為何無法醫治、不能痊癒呢？難道你待我有詭詐，像流乾的河道嗎？

我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站着；我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。

連我知己的朋友，我所倚靠、吃過我飯的也用腳踢我。

看哪，時候將到，且是已經到了，你們要分散，各歸自己的地方去，留下我獨自一人；其實我不是獨自一人，因為有父與我同在。

我這話不是指着你們眾人說的，我知道我所揀選的是誰。現在要應驗經上的話，說：『同我吃飯的人用腳踢我。』

原來不是仇敵辱罵我，若是仇敵，還可忍耐；也不是恨我的人向我狂大，若是恨我的人就必躲避他。不料是你；你原與我平等，是我的同伴，是我知己的朋友！我們素常彼此談論，以為甘甜；我們與羣眾在神的殿中同行。

我的密友都憎惡我；我平日所愛的人向我翻臉。

這樣的人在你們的愛席上與你們同吃的時候，正是礁石。他們作牧人，只知餵養自己，無所懼怕；是沒有雨的雲彩，被風飄蕩；是秋天沒有果子的樹，死而又死，連根被拔出來；

你所親愛的都忘記你，不來探問你。我因你的罪孽甚大，罪惡眾多，曾用仇敵加的傷害傷害你，用殘忍者的懲治懲治你。

你把我的良朋密友隔在遠處，使我所認識的人進入黑暗裏。

不要倚賴鄰舍；不要信靠密友。要守住你的口；不要向你懷中的妻提說。因為，兒子藐視父親；女兒抗拒母親；媳婦抗拒婆婆；人的仇敵就是自己家裏的人。

你們各人當謹防鄰舍，不可信靠弟兄；因為弟兄盡行欺騙，鄰舍都往來讒謗人。他們各人欺哄鄰舍，不說真話；他們教舌頭學習說謊，勞勞碌碌地作孽。
