Then the Lord said to me,“ Take once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

耶和华又吩咐我说：“你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具，

耶和华对我说：“你再把愚昧牧人所用的器具拿来，

耶和华对我说：“你再把愚昧牧人所用的器具拿来，

Then the Lord said to me,“ Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

The Lord said to me,“ Now pretend to be a foolish shepherd. Get the things you need.

Then the Lord said to me,“ Go again and play the part of a worthless shepherd.

The LORD also said to me,“ Take the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

And the Lord said to me,“ Take again for yourself the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

And the Lord said to me,“ Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd.

And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

The Lord also said to me:“ Take the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

Again the LORD said to me,“ Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

Yahweh said to me,“ Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.

Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”Then I said,“ How long, O Lord?” And he said:“ Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste,and the Lord removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?

Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but have seen for you oracles that are false and misleading.

“ As a thief is shamed when caught, so the house of Israel shall be shamed: they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets,who say to a tree,‘ You are my father,’ and to a stone,‘ You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their back to me, and not their face. But in the time of their trouble they say,‘ Arise and save us!’
