But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

反倒退后，行诡诈，像他们的祖宗一样；他们改变，如同翻背的弓。

反倒退后，行诡诈，像他们的祖宗一样，他们翻转，如同松弛的弓，

反倒退后，行诡诈，像他们的祖宗一样，他们翻转，如同松弛的弓，

他们跟祖先一样背信弃义，像断弓一样毫不可靠。

他们背信不忠，像他们的列祖一样；他们改变了，如同不可靠的弓。

他们退缩、背信，如同他们的祖先；他们扭曲，如同松弛的弓。

反倒退後，行詭詐，像他們的祖宗一樣；他們改變，如同翻背的弓。

他們跟祖先一樣背信棄義，像斷弓一樣毫不可靠。

他們背信不忠，像他們的列祖一樣；他們改變了，如同不可靠的弓。

反倒退後而背信、像他們祖宗一樣；他們變了，如同乖張的弓一般。

他們退縮、背信，如同他們的祖先；他們扭曲，如同鬆弛的弓。

轉而背之、行詐如其列祖、變其趨向、如偏反之弓兮、

維彼濟惡、屢行叛逆、無異列祖、如弦絶弓反兮、

失信悖逆與其列祖無異、改變有如弓翻、

捨正就邪。一如乃翁。不中正鵠。彷彿弊弓。

Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as a faulty bow.

They were like their people who lived long ago. They turned away from him and were not faithful. They were like a bow that doesn’t shoot straight. They couldn’t be trusted.

but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers; they twisted like a deceitful bow.

They return, but not to him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.For when I had brought them into the land, which I sware to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink- offerings.

And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.In the day- time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgat Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.

And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
