你會說：「人打我，我不痛；人揍我，我不知。什麼時候醒了，再乾一杯！」

你必说：“人打我，我却未受伤；人鞭打我，我竟不觉得。我几时清醒，我仍去寻酒。”

说：“人击打我，但我未受伤，重击我，我不觉得。我几时清醒，还要再去寻酒。”

说：“人击打我，但我未受伤，重击我，我不觉得。我几时清醒，还要再去寻酒。”

你会说：“人打我，我不痛；人揍我，我不知。什么时候醒了，再干一杯！”

你必说：“人打我，我不痛；人鞭打我，我不晓得；我什么时候清醒？我还要再去寻酒。”

“他们打我，我不疼痛；他们击打我，我也不知道。我什么时候醒来呢？我还要继续寻找酒。”

你必說：人打我，我卻未受傷；人鞭打我，我竟不覺得。我幾時清醒，我仍去尋酒。

說：「人擊打我，但我未受傷，重擊我，我不覺得。我幾時清醒，還要再去尋酒。」

說：「人擊打我，但我未受傷，重擊我，我不覺得。我幾時清醒，還要再去尋酒。」

你必說：“人打我，我不痛；人鞭打我，我不曉得；我甚麼時候清醒？我還要再去尋酒。”

你必說：『人擊打我，我卻沒有受傷；人笞打我，我竟不覺得；我幾時清醒，仍要再去尋酒。』

「他們打我，我不疼痛；他們擊打我，我也不知道。我什麼時候醒來呢？我還要繼續尋找酒。」

乃曰、擊我而我無傷、扑我而我不覺、何時而醒、仍復索飲、

勿自謂受擊而不傷、醉為無害、醒而再飲。

必使爾曰、人雖撻我、我不痛、人雖傷我、我不覺、我何時醒、仍復求酒、

“ They hit me,” you will say,“ but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

“ They hit me,” you will say.“ But I’m not hurt! They beat me. But I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

“ They struck me,” you will say,“ but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I must have another drink.”

And you will say,“ They hit me, but I didn’t feel it. I didn’t even know it when they beat me up. When will I wake up so I can look for another drink?”

“ They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I didn’t know it! When will I wake up? I’ll look for another drink.”

“ They struck me, but I did not become ill; They beat me, but I did not know it. When will I awake? I will seek another drink.”

“ They have struck me, but I was not hurt; They have beaten me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?”

They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

“ They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I didn’t know it! When will I wake up? I’ll look for another drink.”

They have stricken me,[ shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; they have beaten me,[ and] I felt[ it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

You will say,“ They have struck me, but I am not harmed! They beat me, but I did not know it! When will I awake? I will look for another drink.”

“ They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another.”

他們說：「來吧，我去拿酒，讓我們喝個痛快！明天會跟今天一樣，甚至更豐盛。」

耶和華啊，你要的不是誠實嗎？你責打他們，他們不感到疼痛；你嚴懲他們，他們仍不受教。他們屢教不改，臉比石頭還硬。

愚人一再重複愚昧事，就像狗回頭吃所吐的。

就算把愚人放在臼裡與麥子一起搗碎，他仍然難脫愚昧。

他們喪盡天良，放縱情慾，沉溺於各種污穢的事。

從人的角度看，我在以弗所與那些「惡獸」格鬥對我有什麼益處呢？如果死人不會復活，「讓我們吃喝吧！因為明天我們就死了。」你們不要上當受騙，「交壞朋友會敗壞好品德」。你們該醒悟了！不要繼續犯罪，因為你們當中有些人不認識上帝。我說這話是要叫你們羞愧。

我聽見以法蓮在為自己悲歎，『我們就像未經馴服的牛犢，你管教我們，使我們順服，求你使我們回到你身邊，重新復興，因為你是我們的上帝耶和華。

免得有人聽了這誓言後，心存僥倖地說，『即使我一意孤行，連累他人，也必平安無事。』

但你們還是歡喜作樂，宰牛殺羊，喝酒吃肉，說：「讓我們吃喝吧！因為明天我們就死了。」

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。
