因為受造之物處在虛空之下並非出於情願，而是出於上帝的旨意。

因为受造之物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

因为受造之物屈服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望从败坏的辖制下得释放，得享上帝儿女荣耀的自由。

因为受造之物屈服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望从败坏的辖制下得释放，得享神儿女荣耀的自由。

因为受造之物处在虚空之下并非出于情愿，而是出于上帝的旨意。

因为被造的万物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意这样，而是由于使它屈服的那一位；

因为被造之物屈从在虚妄之下，并不是出于自愿，而是出于使它屈从的那一位；

因為受造之物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

因為受造之物屈服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望從敗壞的轄制下得釋放，得享上帝兒女榮耀的自由。

因為被造的萬物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意這樣，而是由於使它屈服的那一位；

被創造之物服在徒勞挫折之下、不是自願的，乃是因那叫它服在指望中者的旨意；

因為被造之物屈從在虛妄之下，並不是出於自願，而是出於使它屈從的那一位；

蓋受造之物服於虛、非其本願、因服之者之故耳、

萬物歸於虛、非其心、蓋有使之者、

萬物歸於虛、非其所願、乃有使之者、然仍有望、

夫芸芸眾生、迄今屈伏於無常之下、非出自願、有制之者耳。

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

The created world was held back from fulfilling its purpose. But this was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the one who held it back. God planned

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,

For the creation was subjected to futility— not willingly, but because of him who subjected it— in the hope

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

For the creation was subjected to futility— not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it— in the hope

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected[ the same] in hope,

For the creation was subjected to futility– not willingly but because of God who subjected it– in hope

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

耶和華上帝又對亞當說：「因為你聽從妻子的話，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的果子，地必因你而受咒詛。你必終生艱辛勞苦，才能吃到地裡出產的食物。地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜，你要吃田間長出來的菜蔬。你必汗流滿面，才有飯吃，一直到你歸回塵土。因為你是塵土造的，也必歸回塵土。」

取名叫挪亞，他說：「耶和華咒詛了大地，以致我們艱辛勞苦，這孩子必使我們從艱辛勞苦中得安慰。」

傳道者說：虛空的虛空，虛空的虛空，一切都是虛空。

我們知道一切受造之物至今都在呻吟，如同經歷分娩之痛。

因為沒有草，田野的母鹿拋棄了剛生下來的小鹿；因為沒有草，野驢站在光禿的山頭上像豺狼一樣喘氣，雙目無神。」

大地哀慟、田野的植物枯槁要到何時呢？由於這地方居民的罪惡，野獸和飛鳥都滅絕了。他們說：「上帝看不見我們的行為。」

祂對挪亞說：「世人惡貫滿盈，他們的結局到了。我要把他們跟大地一起毀滅。

他們使這片土地荒涼，以致它在我面前哀哭。遍地如此荒涼，卻無人在意。

牲畜哀鳴，牛群因找不到草場而四處亂竄，羊群也受苦。

大地被世人玷污，他們違犯律法，不守律例，背棄永遠的約。所以大地必遭受咒詛，世人必因罪而受懲罰。他們必被焚燒，所剩無幾。

所以，這片土地要哀鳴，所有的居民都要消亡，田間的野獸、空中的飛鳥、水裡的魚類也要滅絕。」

強盜的帳篷太平，冒犯上帝、手捧神像的人安穩。「你去問走獸，牠們會指教你；問天上的飛禽，牠們會告訴你；向大地討教，大地會指教你，或讓海中的魚為你闡明。牠們當中哪個不知這是耶和華所為？所有生靈都在祂手中，世人的氣息也不例外。
