行惡者皆無知乎、噬我民如啖餅、不籲上帝兮、

維人作惡、懵然無知、橫噬我民、無異食餅、不向耶和華呼籲兮、

一切作惡者、果皆無知乎、彼眾吞食我民、猶如飲食、並不禱告主、

豈其作惡者。莫具纖屑知。何以不懷主。靦然食民脂。

Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord?

Bring your great anger against the nations that don’t pay any attention to you. Bring it against the kingdoms that don’t worship you.

Pour out your great anger on the nations. They don’t pay any attention to you. They refuse to worship you. They have destroyed the people of Jacob. They’ve wiped them out completely. They’ve also destroyed the land they lived in.

No one prays to you. No one asks you for help. You have turned your face away from us. You have let us feel the effects of our sins.

They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them continue to have evil thoughts. They did things they shouldn’t do.

“ You leaders don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything. You are in the dark about what is right. Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.

My enemies are evil. They will trip and fall when they attack me and try to swallow me up.

Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people. You crush those who are poor in the land.

They won’t take delight in the Mighty One. They’ll never call out to God.

Suppose our good news is covered with a veil. Then it is veiled to those who are dying.The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They can’t see the light of the good news that makes Christ’s glory clear. Christ is the likeness of God.

So once more I will shock these people with many wonderful acts. I will destroy the wisdom of those who think they are so wise. I will do away with the cleverness of those who think they are so smart.”

No one even stops to think about this. No one has any sense or understanding. If anyone did, they would say,“ I used half of the wood for fuel. I even baked bread over the fire. I cooked meat. Then I ate it. Should I now make a statue of a god out of the wood that’s left over? Should I bow down to a block of wood? The Lord would hate that.”That’s as foolish as eating ashes! The mind of someone like that has led him astray. He can’t save himself. He can’t bring himself to say,“ This thing I’m holding in my right hand isn’t really a god at all.”

All of them are as hot as an oven. They destroy their rulers. All their kings fall from power. But none of them calls on the Lord for help.

You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?Does he who made the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?

If you say or do things that harm one another, watch out! You could end up destroying one another.

But you hate what is good. And you love what is evil. You are like someone who tears the skin off my people. You pull the meat off their bones.You eat my people’s bodies. You strip off their skin. You break their bones in pieces. You chop them up like meat. You put them in a cooking pot.”

“ Come together, you people of the nations who escaped from Babylon. Gather together and come into court. Only people who do not know anything would carry around gods that are made out of wood. They pray to false gods that can’t save them.

Here is what I’m telling you. I am speaking for the Lord as I warn you. You must no longer live as the Gentiles do. Their thoughts don’t have any purpose.They can’t understand the truth. They are separated from the life of God. That’s because they don’t know him. And they don’t know him because their hearts are stubborn.

When their twigs are dry, they will be broken off. Then women will come and make fires with them. The people of Jacob don’t understand the Lord. So the God who made them won’t be concerned about them. Their Creator won’t be kind to them.

So my people will be taken away as prisoners. That’s because they don’t understand what the Lord has done. Their nobles will die of hunger. The rest of the people won’t have any water to drink.

Who is the Mighty One? Why should we serve him? What would we get if we prayed to him?’

They knew God. But they didn’t honor him as God. They didn’t thank him. Their thinking became worthless. Their foolish hearts became dark.They claimed to be wise. But they made fools of themselves.
