城门口不再有老年人，年轻人也不再奏乐。

長老不坐門側、少壯不作音樂兮。

老者不復坐邑門、少者不復歌唱、

The elders are gone from the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.

維時、我必使猶大諸邑、及耶路撒冷街衢、無有歡欣喜樂之聲、與新娶者及新婦之聲、以斯土成為荒蕪矣、

今也年少於我者姍笑我、若輩之父、我曾藐視、不欲列之於守羊之犬中、

郇女之長老坐地、緘默無言兮、以塵蒙首、以麻束腰兮、耶路撒冷處女、俯首至地兮、

郇途愁慘、無人赴大會兮、邑門寂寞、祭司歎息兮、處女遘難、居民罹苦兮、

鼓琴奏樂品簫吹角之聲、不復聞於爾間、百工不復見於爾間、磨聲不復聞於爾間、

我出、至於邑門、設位街衢、少者見我引避、老者起立、侯伯禁言、以手掩口、尊者緘默、舌貼於腭、耳聞我而祝嘏、目睹我而為證、因我拯哀呼之貧民、救無助之孤子、將亡者之祝嘏臨我、我使嫠婦心樂而歌、我以義為衣、以公為袍為冕、我為瞽者之目、跛者之足、為貧乏者之父、察不識者之事、折不義者之齒、奪其所刧於口、

我必息爾謳歌之聲、不復聞爾琴瑟之音、

除其勇士、戰士、士師、先知、卜人、長老、五十夫長、貴介、謀士、良工、術士、

新釀悲哀、葡萄衰殘、心懽愉者、無不慨歎、播鼗之音息、歡忭之聲寂、鼓琴之樂歇、不復飲酒而歌、飲者以醇醪為苦、荒涼之邑傾毀、第宅盡閉、無人得入、人因乏酒、號呼於衢、喜樂俱晦、境內之歡娛已杳、

且我必於其中、絕其歡欣喜樂之聲、新娶者及新婦之聲、旋磨之音、燈火之光、

蓋萬軍之耶和華、以色列之上帝曰、爾在世之日、我必使歡愉喜樂之聲、新娶者與新婦之聲、絕於斯土、爾目睹之、

我琴成悲聲、我簫發哀響、

招愛我者、彼則欺我兮、我之祭司長老求糧、以蘇厥靈兮、乃於邑中絕氣兮、

於爾上帝耶和華所賜之邑、按各支派、設立士師、有司、秉公鞫民、
