And look! You have risen in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel.

谁知，你们起来接续先祖，增添罪人的数目，使耶和华向以色列大发烈怒。

看哪，你们这一伙罪人，竟然接续你们父执之辈，再增加耶和华对以色列所发的怒气。

看哪，你们这一伙罪人，竟然接续你们父执之辈，再增加耶和华对以色列所发的怒气。

“现在，你们这群罪人的后代竟然重蹈前人的覆辙，加剧耶和华的怒气。

现在，你们这些罪人的族类，也来接替你们的先祖，增添耶和华对以色列的烈怒！

誰知，你們起來接續先祖，增添罪人的數目，使耶和華向以色列大發烈怒。

看哪，你們這一夥罪人，竟然接續你們父執之輩，再增加耶和華對以色列所發的怒氣。

看哪，你們這一夥罪人，竟然接續你們父執之輩，再增加耶和華對以色列所發的怒氣。

「現在，你們這群罪人的後代竟然重蹈前人的覆轍，加劇耶和華的怒氣。

現在，你們這些罪人的族類，也來接替你們的先祖，增添耶和華對以色列的烈怒！

如今你看，你們倒起來接替你們的先祖，成了罪人的族類，使永恆主向以色列更加發烈怒！

今爾繼祖、增益罪人之數、使耶和華怒以色列族愈甚、

今爾繼祖、恆為犯罪之人、使耶和華怒以色列族愈甚。

今爾曹一類作孽者興、繼爾先人犯罪、使主怒以色列人更甚、

“ And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the Lord even more angry with Israel.

“ Now here you are, you bunch of sinners! You have taken the place of your fathers. And you are making the Lord even angrier with Israel.

And behold, you have risen in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel!

But here you are, a brood of sinners, doing exactly the same thing! You are making the Lord even angrier with Israel.

And here you, a brood of sinners, stand in your ancestors’ place adding even more to the LORD’s burning anger against Israel.

Now behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, born of sinful men, to add still more to the burning anger of the Lord against Israel.

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel.

And here you, a brood of sinners, stand in your fathers’ place adding even more to the Lord’s burning anger against Israel.

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

Now look, you are standing in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinners, to increase still further the fierce wrath of the LORD against the Israelites.

“ Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel.

Alas, sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A brood of evildoers, Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord, They have provoked to anger The Holy One of Israel, They have turned away backward.

So the people went in And possessed the land; You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, The Canaanites, And gave them into their hands, With their kings And the people of the land, That they might do with them as they wished.And they took strong cities and a rich land, And possessed houses full of all goods, Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves, And fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled and grew fat, And delighted themselves in Your great goodness.“ Nevertheless they were disobedient And rebelled against You, Cast Your law behind their backs And killed Your prophets, who testified against them To turn them to Yourself; And they worked great provocations.

“ Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silence, but will repay— Even repay into their bosom—Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together,” Says the Lord,“ Who have burned incense on the mountains And blasphemed Me on the hills; Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”

Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”

And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart,“ I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.

And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

But turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers; They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

“ You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!

Whom do you ridicule? Against whom do you make a wide mouth And stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, Offspring of falsehood,

And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this,should we again break Your commandments, and join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor?

“ Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them,“ You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel.

“ Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and were not careful to observe My judgments,‘ which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.

“ And the Lord heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and took an oath, saying,‘ surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land of which I swore to give to your fathers,
