也许以扫的后代以东人会说：“我们现在虽然被毁，但我们要重建毁坏之处。”万军之耶和华却这样说：“他们尽管建造，但我必拆毁。他们的土地要被称为‘罪恶之地’，他们要被称为‘耶和华永远恼怒之民。’”

以东人说：“我们现在虽被毁坏，却要重建荒废之处。”万军之耶和华如此说：“任他们建造，我必拆毁；人必称他们的地为‘罪恶之境’；称他们的民为‘耶和华永远恼怒之民’。”

以东若说：“我们虽被毁坏，却要重建荒废之处。”万军之耶和华如此说：“任他们建造，我必拆毁；人必称他们为‘邪恶之境’，为‘耶和华永远恼怒之民’。”

以东若说：“我们虽被毁坏，却要重建荒废之处。”万军之耶和华如此说：“任他们建造，我必拆毁；人必称他们为‘邪恶之境’，为‘耶和华永远恼怒之民’。”

如果以东说：“我们虽然遭破坏，但仍要把废墟重建起来。”万军之耶和华这样说：“他们只管建造，我却要拆毁。人要称他们为罪恶的境地，为耶和华永远恼怒的子民。”

尽管以东说：“我们虽遭毁坏，但我们要回去，重建废墟之处。”万军之耶和华却如此说：“他们就算重建了，我还要拆毁。人们必称呼以东为‘邪恶的地界’、‘耶和华永远恼怒之民’。”

以東人說：「我們現在雖被毀壞，卻要重建荒廢之處。」萬軍之耶和華如此說：「任他們建造，我必拆毀；人必稱他們的地為『罪惡之境』；稱他們的民為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」

以東若說：「我們雖被毀壞，卻要重建荒廢之處。」萬軍之耶和華如此說：「任他們建造，我必拆毀；人必稱他們為『邪惡之境』，為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」

以東若說：「我們雖被毀壞，卻要重建荒廢之處。」萬軍之耶和華如此說：「任他們建造，我必拆毀；人必稱他們為『邪惡之境』，為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」

也許以掃的後代以東人會說：「我們現在雖然被毀，但我們要重建毀壞之處。」萬軍之耶和華卻這樣說：「他們儘管建造，但我必拆毀。他們的土地要被稱為『罪惡之地』，他們要被稱為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民。』」

如果以東說：“我們雖然遭破壞，但仍要把廢墟重建起來。”萬軍之耶和華這樣說：“他們只管建造，我卻要拆毀。人要稱他們為罪惡的境地，為耶和華永遠惱怒的子民。”

以東若說：『我們現在雖被毁壞，卻必重建廢墟』，萬軍之永恆主卻這麼說：『他們儘管建造，我卻必拆毁，直到他們被叫做邪惡之境地、永恆主永遠惱怒的人民。』

儘管以東說：「我們雖遭毀壞，但我們要回去，重建廢墟之處。」萬軍之耶和華卻如此說：「他們就算重建了，我還要拆毀。人們必稱呼以東為『邪惡的地界』、『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」

以東曰、我雖傾覆、必復建荒墟之處、萬軍之耶和華云、彼將建之、我必毀之、人將稱之為惡境、其人為耶和華恆怒之民、

以東曰、予雖貧乏、傾圮之宅、必復建造、萬有之主耶和華曰、彼雖興版築、必為我所毀、人稱之為惡土、耶和華震怒斯民、恆久不已、

以東人若曰、我雖遭傾毀、我雖遭傾毀或作我雖貧乏傾圮之邑、必復建造、萬有之主如是云、任彼建造、我必毀之、人必稱其土為惡境、稱其民為主所永怒之民、

Edom may say,“ Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.” But this is what the Lord Almighty says:“ They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.

Edom might say,“ We have been crushed. But we’ll rebuild our cities.” The Lord who rules over all says,“ They might rebuild their cities. But I will destroy them. They will be called the Evil Land. My anger will always remain on them.

If Edom says,“ We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says,“ They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called‘ the wicked country,’ and‘ the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’”

Esau’s descendants in Edom may say,“ We have been shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins.” But the Lord of Heaven’s Armies replies,“ They may try to rebuild, but I will demolish them again. Their country will be known as‘ The Land of Wickedness,’ and their people will be called‘ The People with Whom the Lord Is Forever Angry.’

Though Edom says,“ We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” the LORD of Armies says this:“ They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called a wicked country and the people the LORD has cursed forever.

Though Edom says,“ We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins”; this is what the Lord of armies says:“ They may build, but I will tear down; and people will call them the territory of wickedness, and the people with whom the Lord is indignant forever.”

Even though Edom has said,“ We have been impoverished, But we will return and build the desolate places,” Thus says the Lord of hosts:“ They may build, but I will throw down; They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.

Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.

Though Edom says:“ We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of Hosts says this:“ They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called a wicked country and the people the Lord has cursed forever.

Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.

Edom says,“ Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places.” So the LORD who rules over all responds,“ They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as the land of evil, the people with whom the LORD is permanently displeased.

Whereas Edom says,“ We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;” Yahweh of Armies says,“ They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them‘ The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.”

我要使你永远荒废，你的城邑杳无人迹，这样你就知道我是耶和华。

我要借我以色列子民的手向以东报仇。以色列人会照我的烈怒惩罚他们。那时，他们就会尝到我报应他们的滋味，这是主耶和华说的。’

住在以法莲和撒玛利亚的以色列人都知道。他们骄傲自大地说：“砖墙倒塌了，我们可以凿石重建；桑树砍倒了，我们可以再种香柏树。”

若不是耶和华建造房屋，建造者的工作都是徒劳。若不是耶和华保护城池，守城者保持警觉也是徒然。

他们必联合起来，向西征讨非利士，向东征服以东、摩押和亚扪。

厌恶以扫。我使以扫的山岭荒凉，把他的地业留给旷野的豺狼。”

你们去甲尼看看，然后从那里到哈玛大城，再到非利士人的迦特看看。你们比这些国家更好吗？他们的领土不比你们的更广阔吗？

“不与我为友就是与我为敌；不助我召集就是故意拆散。

祂充满智慧，能力无比，谁能抗拒祂还可平安无恙？

祂拆毁的，无法重建；祂囚禁的，无法获释。

乌斯地区的以东人啊，只管欢喜作乐吧！因为盛满耶和华愤怒的杯也要传到你们那里。你们必喝醉，以致赤身露体。锡安城啊！你已经受到了应得的刑罚，耶和华必不再使你流亡。以东啊，耶和华要惩罚你，揭露你的罪恶！

使你们死于刀下。我要审判整个以色列，这样你们就知道我是耶和华。

你们有些人说：“今天或是明天，我们要往某某城去，在那里逗留一年半载，做生意赚钱。”其实你们根本不知道明天会发生什么事。你们的生命是什么呢？你们只不过像一阵雾气，出现片刻，就无影无踪了。你们只当说：“如果主许可，我们就可以活着，可以做这事或做那事。”现在，你们竟敢傲慢自夸，这实属邪恶。

若非主许可，谁的话可以兑现呢？

昼夜燃烧，浓烟滚滚，永不止息。以东必世世代代荒废，人踪绝迹。

然而，斧头怎能向舞动它的人自夸呢？锯子怎能向用锯的人炫耀呢？难道棍子可以挥动举它的人吗？手杖可以举起它的主人吗？因此，主——万军之耶和华必使亚述王强健的士兵疾病缠身，使火焰吞噬他的荣耀。

你们将不是被掳就是被杀。虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还没有止息，祂降罚的手没有收回。

你将来必有盼望，你的儿女必重返家园。这是耶和华说的。

但祂若保持缄默，谁能定祂有罪？祂若掩起脸来，谁能看得见祂？个人和国家都靠祂垂顾，

耶和华的刀剑在天上饱饮了血后，必降下来惩罚以东——祂决意要毁灭的民族。

这位身披红衣、穿着华丽、充满力量、从以东的波斯拉阔步而来的是谁呢？“是宣告公义、有拯救大能的我。”你的衣服为何是红色的，好像榨酒池中踩踏葡萄者的衣服？“我独自在榨酒池踩踏，万民中无人跟我在一起。我在愤怒中踩踏他们，在烈怒中践踏他们；他们的血溅到我的衣服上，染红了我的衣服。我心中定了报仇的日子，我救赎我子民之年已经来临。我环顾四周，惊讶地看见无人帮助，无人扶持。于是，在烈怒的推动下，我用臂膀独自拯救。我在愤怒中践踏万民，让他们饱尝我的烈怒，把他们的血倒在地上。”

耶和华啊，求你记住耶路撒冷沦陷时以东人的行径。他们喊道：“拆毁这城，把它夷为平地！”

任何智慧、悟性和谋略，都不能对抗耶和华。
