Faithful people have disappeared from the land. Those who are honest are gone. Everyone hides and waits to spill the blood of others. They use nets to try and trap one another.

地上虔诚人灭尽；世间没有正直人；各人埋伏，要杀人流血，都用网罗猎取弟兄。

地上的虔诚人灭尽了，人世间已无正直的人；他们都埋伏，为要流人的血，用罗网猎取自己的弟兄。

The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets.

The godly has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts the other with a net.

The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers.

Help, Lord! No one does what is right anymore. Those who are faithful have disappeared from the human race.

Those who are right with God die. And no one really cares about it. People who are faithful to the Lord are swept away by trouble. And no one understands why that happens to those who do what is right.

“ Jeremiah, some of my people are evil. They hide and wait just as people hide to catch birds. They set traps for people.

They are always in a hurry to sin. They run quickly to murder those who aren’t guilty. They love to think up evil plans. They leave a trail of harmful actions.

They might say,“ Come along with us. Let’s hide and wait to kill someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. Let’s catch some harmless person in our trap.

Foolish people say in their hearts,“ There is no God.” They do all kinds of horrible and evil things. No one does anything good.The Lord looks down from heaven on all people. He wants to see if there are any who understand. He wants to see if there are any who trust in God.All of them have turned away. They have all become evil. No one does anything good, no one at all.

My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet. I felt helpless. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves.

The bags they carry their arrows in are like an open grave. All their soldiers are mighty.

The evil Babylonians pull all of them up with hooks. They catch them in their nets. They gather them up. So they celebrate. They are glad.They offer sacrifices to their nets. They burn incense to them. Their nets allow them to live in great comfort. They enjoy the finest food.Are you going to let them keep on emptying their nets? Will they go on destroying nations without showing them any mercy?

You build up Zion by spilling the blood of others. You build Jerusalem by doing what is evil.

It is written,“ No one is right with God, no one at all.No one understands. No one trusts in God.All of them have turned away. They have all become worthless. No one does anything good, no one at all.”( Psalms 14:1–3; 53:1–3; Ecclesiastes 7:20)“ Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.”( Psalm 5:9)“ The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.”( Psalm 140:3)“ Their mouths are full of curses and bitterness.”( Psalm 10:7)“ They run quickly to commit murder.They leave a trail of harmful actions.They do not know how to live in peace.”( Isaiah 59:7, 8)“ They don’t have any respect for God.”( Psalm 36:1)

Look, my father! Look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe. But I didn’t kill you. See, there is nothing in my hand that shows I am guilty of doing anything wrong. I haven’t turned against you. I haven’t done anything to harm you. But you are hunting me down. You want to kill me.

Don’t spill my blood on the ground far away from where the Lord lives. King Saul, you have come out to look for nothing but a flea. It’s as if you were hunting a partridge in the mountains.”

The words of those who are evil hide and wait to spill people’s blood. But the speech of those who are honest saves them from traps like that.

“ But now I will send for many fishermen,” announces the Lord.“ They will catch some of these people. After that, I will send for many hunters. They will hunt down the others on every mountain and hill. They will bring them out of the cracks in the rocks.

People hunted us down no matter where we went. We couldn’t even walk in our streets. Our end was near, so we only had a few days to live. Our end had come.
