So I rebuked the officials and asked them,“ Why is the house of God neglected?” Then I called them together and stationed them at their posts.

I gave a warning to the officials. I asked them,“ Why aren’t you taking care of God’s house?” Then I brought the Levites and musicians together. I stationed them in their proper places. I put them back to work.

So I confronted the officials and said,“ Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their stations.

I immediately confronted the leaders and demanded,“ Why has the Temple of God been neglected?” Then I called all the Levites back again and restored them to their proper duties.

因為以色列人和利未人的子孫要將五穀、新酒、新油、的提獻物奉到貯藏室裏、就是收存聖所器皿的地方、就是供職的祭司、守門的、歌唱的、所住的地方。我們決不將我們的上帝的殿棄而不顧。

我就譴責猶大顯貴的人，對他們說：『你們行的這壞事到底是甚麼事，竟瀆犯這安息之日啊？

我就譴責他們，咒罵他們，擊打了他們幾個人，拔下他們的頭髮，叫他們指着上帝來起誓：我說：『你們決不可將自己的女兒嫁給他們的兒子，也決不可為兒子或自己娶他們的女兒。

這樣，那兩個青年人的罪在永恆主面前就非常大了，因為人們都藐視獻與永恆主的供物。

我聽見他們的哀呼和這些話，便非常惱怒。我心裏有了主張之後，就譴責顯貴的人和官長，說：『你們各人用錢借給自己的族弟兄，竟向他索取利息啊。』於是我召集了大會來責備他們。我對他們說：『我們已盡了力量來贖回我們的族弟兄猶大人、那些賣給外國人的；你們、你們還要賣你們的族弟兄，好讓他們又賣回給我們麼？』他們都不作聲，找不着話來說。我又說：『你們所行的這事很不好；你們行事為人、豈不當存着敬畏我們的上帝的心，以避免我們的仇敵、外國人、的毁謗麼？我也如此；我的族弟兄和僮僕也曾將銀錢五穀借給人呀。我們都放棄這利息吧。我勸你們就在今天將他們的田地、葡萄園、橄欖園和房屋、跟你們所向他們索取的銀錢、五穀、新酒、新油的利息都歸還給他們吧。』眾人就說：『我們必定要歸還，不再向他們討：你怎麼說，我們就怎麼行好啦。』我就把祭司們召了來，叫眾人起誓，要照所說的這話而行。我也抖着胸前兜兒說：『凡不實行這諾言的、願上帝照樣地抖他離開他的家和他所得的產業，直到都抖空了。』全體大眾都說『阿們』，又讚美永恆主。眾民就照這諾言而行。

人怎可搶奪上帝之物呢？你們呢、竟搶奪了獻與我之物！卻還問說：「我們在甚麼事上搶奪了獻與你之物呢？」那就是當納的十分之一和當奉的獻物啊。你們被咒詛所咒詛，是因為你們、你們全國的人、搶奪的乃是我！你們將當納的十分之一全部送入倉庫，使我殿中有糧吧！並這樣試試我、萬軍之永恆主說，看我會不會給你們敞開天閘，將祝福給你們傾倒下來，直到有餘無缺。萬軍之永恆主說：我必為你們叱責吞喫者蝗蟲，不容牠損壞你們土地的果實；你們田間的葡萄樹未熟之先也不掉果子。

捨棄律法的、稱讚惡人；遵守律法的、跟惡人相爭。

因懼怕蜂擁的眾人，又因宗族的藐視驚嚇我，以致我靜止不動，閉門不出；
