If his sons abandon my instruction and do not live by my ordinances,

“倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

“倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

“倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

如果他的后代背弃我的律法，不遵行我的典章，

如果他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照着我的典章而行；

如果他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照着我的法规而行；

倘若他的子孫離棄我的律法，不照我的典章行，

「倘若他的子孫離棄我的律法，不照我的典章行，

「倘若他的子孫離棄我的律法，不照我的典章行，

如果他的後代背棄我的律法，不遵行我的典章，

如果他的子孫離棄我的律法，不照著我的典章而行；

倘若他子孫撇棄了我的律法，不照我的典章而行；

如果他的子孫離棄我的律法，不照著我的法規而行；

如其子孫違棄我法度、不遵我律例、

如其子孫、違我律例、不從法度、

其子孫若違背我訓、不依我法度而行、

大維之苗裔。綿綿萬世存。大維之宗室。天地共長春。

“ If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,

“ What if his sons turn away from my laws and do not follow them?

If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,

But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,

“ If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments,

“ If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

If his sons forsake My instruction and do not live by My ordinances,

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

If his sons reject my law and disobey my regulations,

If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;

I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and blows from mortals.

Fury seizes me because of the wicked who reject your instruction.

“ As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever.

for I am giving you good instruction. Don’t abandon my teaching.

As for you, if you walk before me as your father David walked, doing everything I have commanded you, and if you keep my statutes and ordinances,I will establish your royal throne, as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a man ruling in Israel.However, if you turn away and abandon my statutes and my commands that I have set before you and if you go and serve other gods and bow in worship to them,then I will uproot Israel from the soil that I gave them, and this temple that I have sanctified for my name I will banish from my presence; I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.As for this temple, which was exalted, everyone who passes by will be appalled and will say,“ Why did the LORD do this to this land and this temple?”Then they will say,“ Because they abandoned the LORD God of their ancestors who brought them out of the land of Egypt. They clung to other gods and bowed in worship to them and served them. Because of this, he brought all this ruin on them.”

He follows my statutes and keeps my ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

He keeps his hand from harming the poor, not taking interest or profit on a loan. He practices my ordinances and follows my statutes. Such a person will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will certainly live.

The LORD said,“ It is because they abandoned my instruction, which I set before them, and did not obey my voice or walk according to it.Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and followed the Baals as their ancestors taught them.”Therefore, this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ I am about to feed this people wormwood and give them poisonous water to drink.I will scatter them among the nations that they and their ancestors have not known. I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.”

I am the LORD your God. Follow my statutes, keep my ordinances, and practice them.

If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

Both were righteous in God’s sight, living without blame according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord.

Those who reject the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law pit themselves against them.
