但你恼怒你的受膏者，就丢掉弃绝他。

但你恼怒你的受膏者，拒绝他，离弃了他。

你卻惱怒你的受膏者，丟掉棄絕他。

但如今你、你卻屏棄而拒絕他；你震怒你所膏立的。

惟爾怒爾受膏者、屏而棄之兮、

余竊自思、曰、昔爾沐以膏者、今厭棄之、加以震怒兮、

乃今主屏棄厭惡所立之受膏者、向其大震烈怒、

明證懸中天。有如月之恆。』

But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.

But you have turned your back on your anointed king. You have been very angry with him.

But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed.

But you have spurned and rejected him; you have become enraged with your anointed.

“ The Lord saw this and drew back, provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.

“ And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Your enemies have mocked me, O Lord; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, nor fruitful fields producing offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty heroes was defiled; the shield of Saul will no longer be anointed with oil.

O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield! Show favor to the one you have anointed.

“ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, the man who is my partner,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ Strike down the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn against the lambs.

My God will reject the people of Israel because they will not listen or obey. They will be wanderers, homeless among the nations.

When God heard them, he was very angry, and he completely rejected Israel.

I got rid of their three evil shepherds in a single month. But I became impatient with these sheep, and they hated me, too.

That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people, and he abhorred his own special possession.

But now you have tossed us aside in dishonor. You no longer lead our armies to battle.You make us retreat from our enemies and allow those who hate us to plunder our land.You have butchered us like sheep and scattered us among the nations.You sold your precious people for a pittance, making nothing on the sale.You let our neighbors mock us. We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.You have made us the butt of their jokes; they shake their heads at us in scorn.We can’t escape the constant humiliation; shame is written across our faces.All we hear are the taunts of our mockers. All we see are our vengeful enemies.All this has happened though we have not forgotten you. We have not violated your covenant.Our hearts have not deserted you. We have not strayed from your path.Yet you have crushed us in the jackal’s desert home. You have covered us with darkness and death.If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread our hands in prayer to foreign gods,God would surely have known it, for he knows the secrets of every heart.But for your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.Wake up, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Get up! Do not reject us forever.Why do you look the other way? Why do you ignore our suffering and oppression?We collapse in the dust, lying face down in the dirt.Rise up! Help us! Ransom us because of your unfailing love.

The Lord has rejected his own altar; he despises his own sanctuary. He has given Jerusalem’s palaces to her enemies. They shout in the Lord’s Temple as though it were a day of celebration.

Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be kind to me?

But when Rehoboam was firmly established and strong, he abandoned the Law of the Lord, and all Israel followed him in this sin.Because they were unfaithful to the Lord, King Shishak of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam’s reign.He came with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horses, and a countless army of foot soldiers, including Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.Shishak conquered Judah’s fortified towns and then advanced to attack Jerusalem.The prophet Shemaiah then met with Rehoboam and Judah’s leaders, who had all fled to Jerusalem because of Shishak. Shemaiah told them,“ This is what the Lord says: You have abandoned me, so I am abandoning you to Shishak.”Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said,“ The Lord is right in doing this to us!”When the Lord saw their change of heart, he gave this message to Shemaiah:“ Since the people have humbled themselves, I will not completely destroy them and will soon give them some relief. I will not use Shishak to pour out my anger on Jerusalem.But they will become his subjects, so they will know the difference between serving me and serving earthly rulers.”So King Shishak of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem. He ransacked the treasuries of the Lord’s Temple and the royal palace; he stole everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.King Rehoboam later replaced them with bronze shields as substitutes, and he entrusted them to the care of the commanders of the guard who protected the entrance to the royal palace.Whenever the king went to the Temple of the Lord, the guards would also take the shields and then return them to the guardroom.Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the Lord’s anger was turned away, and he did not destroy him completely. There were still some good things in the land of Judah.

Lord, you always give me justice when I bring a case before you. So let me bring you this complaint: Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why are evil people so happy?

You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.

Our king— the Lord’s anointed, the very life of our nation— was caught in their snares. We had thought that his shadow would protect us against any nation on earth!

But if he is through with me, then let him do what seems best to him.”

Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?
