你年年把人撒播去，他們就如草早晨萌了芽；

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.

有個聲音說：『你喊叫吧！』就有一個說：『我喊叫甚麼？』血肉之人盡都如草，他的美麗都像野地之花。

就像個夢，醒了以後、便歸無有；你起來，就看不到其影像。

論到世人、他的年日如草一樣；他的發旺正如野地的花。經風一吹，便歸無有；其原處再也不認得他。

他們未到死期就被攫去；他們的根基被沖瀉如河流：

因為『一切血肉之人盡都如草，他的一切榮華都像草上的花；草必枯乾，花必凋謝；

恐怖如大水將他趕上：暴風在夜間將他掠去。熱東風把他一飄，他就走了，又把他颳離原處。

它一掠而去，同蒲快艇一樣；如急落攫食的兀鷹。

因此、你看吧，主必使大河的水，又強又大的水，就是亞述王和他所有的威榮，起來淹沒他們；大水必漲起、高過一切水溝，它必橫流，漫過所有的河岸；並且必沖掃猶大，氾濫瀰漫，直到人的脖子；但主展開的翅膀必遮遍你廣闊的國土；上帝是與我們同在的。』

他像夢一般地飛去，人找不着他；他被趕逐、如夜間的異象。

富足的也要因自己的降卑而誇耀；因為有財富的人必過去，如同草上的花一樣。日頭一出，帶着熱風，便使那草枯乾；它的花就凋謝，它美麗的樣子便消沒了。富足的人正在進行他的事業時、也必這樣衰殘。

那時那些攻擊亞利伊勒的列國軍眾、就是一切攻擊她和她的營寨、以及那窘迫她的、必都像夢景，像夜間的異象。也必像肚子餓的人在作夢；夢見在喫呢！趕到醒來，肚子仍覺虛空！或像口渴的人在作夢；夢見在喝呢！趕到醒來，仍覺疲乏，心裏仍渴慕着。那攻擊錫安山的列國軍眾也必這樣。

『這像尼羅河漲起、其水翻騰像江河的、是誰呢？埃及像尼羅河漲起，其水翻騰像江河；它說：我要漲起，淹沒這地，我要毁滅其居民。
