“ If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered,

“ Suppose the stones have been torn out. The house has been scraped. And the walls have been coated with new clay. But the mold appears again.

“ If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it,

“ But if the mildew reappears after all the stones have been replaced and the house has been scraped and replastered,

“ If the contamination reappears in the house after the stones have been pulled out, and after the house has been scraped and replastered,

“ If, however, the spot breaks out again in the house after he has pulled out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,

“ Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;

耶路撒冷啊，淫蕩使你污穢不堪，我要潔淨你，你卻不願被潔淨。所以，除非我向你傾盡一切憤怒，否則你的污穢將不能清除。

這些人在你們的愛宴中是敗類。他們肆無忌憚地吃喝，是只顧餵養自己的牧人；是沒有雨的雲，隨風飄蕩；是深秋不結果子的樹，被連根拔起，徹底枯死。

如果他們藉著認識我們的主和救主耶穌基督，已經擺脫了世俗的污穢，但後來又被這些事纏住、俘虜了，他們的處境會比以前更糟糕。

俗語說得好：「狗轉過身來，吃自己所吐的；豬洗乾淨了，又回到污泥裡去打滾。」這些話正好用在他們身上。

他們頑固不化，如銅如鐵，四處譭謗，極其敗壞。風箱猛力吹火，鉛也會熔掉；但他們被煉了又煉，終是徒然，因為他們的邪惡仍未除去。他們被稱為廢棄的銀渣，因為耶和華已丟棄他們。」

有些人曾蒙上帝光照，嚐過天賜恩典的滋味，有份於聖靈，嚐過上帝之道的甘美，領悟到永世的權能，卻背棄了真道，讓他們重新悔改是不可能的。因為他們等於把上帝的兒子重新釘在十字架上，使祂再度公開受辱。一塊經常受到雨水滋潤的田地若為耕種的人長出莊稼來，就蒙上帝賜福；若長出來的盡是荊棘和蒺藜，就毫無價值，它會面臨被咒詛的危險，最後必遭焚燒。
