Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

他们却仍旧得罪他，在干燥之地悖逆至高者。

他们却仍旧得罪他，在干旱之地悖逆至高者。

他们却仍旧得罪他，在干旱之地悖逆至高者。

然而，他们仍旧犯罪，在旷野反叛至高的上帝。

但他们仍然犯罪顶撞他，在干旱之地仍然悖逆至高者。

可是他们又继续对他犯罪，在那干旱之地悖逆至高者。

他們卻仍舊得罪他，在乾燥之地悖逆至高者。

他們卻仍舊得罪他，在乾旱之地悖逆至高者。

他們卻仍舊得罪他，在乾旱之地悖逆至高者。

然而，他們仍舊犯罪，在曠野反叛至高的上帝。

但他們仍然犯罪頂撞他，在乾旱之地仍然悖逆至高者。

他們卻仍然犯罪、更加得罪了他，在乾旱之地悖逆了至高者。

可是他們又繼續對他犯罪，在那乾旱之地悖逆至高者。

民猶干罪、逆至上者於野兮、

斯民在野、犯罪愈多、干至上震怒兮、

豈知彼在曠野、仍然得罪天主、依舊背逆至上之主、

群民無饜。厥欲是逞。

But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.

But they continued to sin against him. In the desert they refused to obey the Most High God.

Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

Yet they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

But they sinned even more against Him By rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.

Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

Yet they continued to sin against him, and rebelled against the sovereign One in the desert.

But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

Yahweh said to me,“ Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying,“ I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff- necked people.Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which Yahweh had commanded you.I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said,“ It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

For who, when they heard, rebelled? Wasn’t it all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.
