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

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 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;

Why is my pain perpetual And my wound incurable, Which refuses to be healed? Will You surely be to me like an unreliable stream, As waters that fail?

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague, And my relatives stand afar off.

Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

“ I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled,‘ He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance.We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.

All my close friends abhor me, And those whom I love have turned against me.

These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

All your lovers have forgotten you; They do not seek you; For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of your iniquities, Because your sins have increased.

Loved one and friend You have put far from me, And my acquaintances into darkness.

Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth From her who lies in your bosom.For son dishonors father, Daughter rises against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

“ Everyone take heed to his neighbor, And do not trust any brother; For every brother will utterly supplant, And every neighbor will walk with slanderers.Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth; They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
