你叫他們如水沖去；他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草，

你叫他们如水冲去；他们如睡一觉。早晨，他们如生长的草，

你叫他们如水冲去，他们如睡一觉。早晨，他们如生长的草；

你叫他们如水冲去，他们如睡一觉。早晨，他们如生长的草；

你像急流一般把世人冲走，叫他们如梦消逝。他们像清晨的嫩草，

你使世人消逝，像被洪水冲去；他们好像睡了一觉；他们又像在早晨生长的草，

你冲去他们，他们就沉睡；他们如同清晨生长的草——

你叫他們如水沖去，他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草；

你叫他們如水沖去，他們如睡一覺。早晨，他們如生長的草；

你像急流一般把世人沖走，叫他們如夢消逝。他們像清晨的嫩草，

你使世人消逝，像被洪水沖去；他們好像睡了一覺；他們又像在早晨生長的草，

你年年把人撒播去，他們就如草早晨萌了芽；

你把他們如水沖去，他們就沉睡；他們如同清晨生長的草——

爾衝人若大水、彼如寢寐、如朝生之草兮、

人之沒世、譬諸夢寐、譬諸草之萌櫱兮、

主使人逝世如水之流、亦使之如睡、青年如草、速然凋殘、

又如中宵夢。夢醒更已易。

Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:

Yet you sweep people away, and they die. They are like new grass that grows in the morning.

You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:

You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.

You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning—

You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up:

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning—

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are[ as] a sleep: in the morning[ they are] like grass[ which] groweth up.

You bring their lives to an end and they“ fall asleep.” In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up;

You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

有人聲說：你喊叫吧！有一個說：我喊叫甚麼呢？說：凡有血氣的盡都如草；他的美容都像野地的花。

人睡醒了，怎樣看夢；主啊，你醒了也必照樣輕看他們的影像。

至於世人，他的年日如草一樣。他發旺如野地的花，經風一吹，便歸無有；它的原處也不再認識它。

他們未到死期，忽然除滅；根基毀壞，好像被江河沖去。

因為凡有血氣的，盡都如草；他的美榮都像草上的花。草必枯乾，花必凋謝；

驚恐如波濤將他追上；暴風在夜間將他颳去。東風把他飄去，又颳他離開本處。

我的日子過去如快船，如急落抓食的鷹。

因此，主必使大河翻騰的水猛然沖來，就是亞述王和他所有的威勢，必漫過一切的水道，漲過兩岸；必沖入猶大，漲溢氾濫，直到頸項。以馬內利啊，他展開翅膀，遍滿你的地。」

他必飛去如夢，不再尋見，速被趕去，如夜間的異象。

富足的降卑，也該如此；因為他必要過去，如同草上的花一樣。太陽出來，熱風颳起，草就枯乾，花也凋謝，美容就消沒了；那富足的人，在他所行的事上也要這樣衰殘。

那時，攻擊亞利伊勒列國的羣眾，就是一切攻擊亞利伊勒和她的保障，並使她困難的，必如夢景，如夜間的異象；又必像飢餓的人夢中吃飯，醒了仍覺腹空；或像口渴的人夢中喝水，醒了仍覺發昏，心裏想喝。攻擊錫安山列國的羣眾也必如此。

像尼羅河漲發，像江河之水翻騰的是誰呢？埃及像尼羅河漲發，像江河的水翻騰。他說：我要漲發遮蓋遍地；我要毀滅城邑和其中的居民。
