爾曹列王、宜具聰慧、世上士師、宜受訓誨兮、

列王宜有慧思、士師順受譴責、

現今列王、爾當覺悟、世間掌權者、須受警教、

嗚呼世之侯王兮。盍不及早省悟。鳴呼世之法吏兮。盍不自守法度。

Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.

Kings, be wise! Rulers of the earth, be warned!

Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.

Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

So now, kings, be wise; receive instruction, you judges of the earth.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

So now, you kings, do what is wise; you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

The princess of Tyre will shower you with gifts. The wealthy will beg your favor.

Let those who are wise understand these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall.

“ Foreigners will come to rebuild your towns, and their kings will serve you. For though I have destroyed you in my anger, I will now have mercy on you through my grace.Your gates will stay open day and night to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will be led as captives in a victory procession.

And he will startle many nations. Kings will stand speechless in his presence. For they will see what they had not been told; they will understand what they had not heard about.

The western kings of Tarshish and other distant lands will bring him tribute. The eastern kings of Sheba and Seba will bring him gifts.All kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him.

God presides over heaven’s court; he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:“ How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked? Interlude“ Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.I say,‘ You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.’”Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.

All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance.

Kings and queens will serve you and care for all your needs. They will bow to the earth before you and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord. Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”

Listen to this warning, Jerusalem, or I will turn from you in disgust. Listen, or I will turn you into a heap of ruins, a land where no one lives.”
