At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps. I will punish those who are so contented. They are like wine that has not been shaken up. They think,‘ The Lord won’t do anything. He won’t do anything good or bad.’

那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷；我必惩罚那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的；他们心里说：‘耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。’

那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷，惩罚那些沉湎在酒渣上的人；他们心里说：‘耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。’

那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷，惩罚那些沉湎在酒渣上的人；他们心里说：‘耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。’

那时，我必提着灯巡查耶路撒冷，惩罚那些安于罪中的人。他们心想，‘耶和华不赐福也不降祸。’

那时，我必提灯搜查耶路撒冷，惩罚那些在罪中陶然自得的人（“在罪中陶然自得”直译是“沉淀在酒渣上”）。这些人心里说：‘耶和华必不赐福，也不降祸。’

那時，我必用燈巡查耶路撒冷；我必懲罰那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的；他們心裏說：耶和華必不降福，也不降禍。

那時，我必提著燈巡查耶路撒冷，懲罰那些安於罪中的人。他們心想，『耶和華不賜福也不降禍。』

那時，我必提燈搜查耶路撒冷，懲罰那些在罪中陶然自得的人（“在罪中陶然自得”直譯是“沉澱在酒渣上”）。這些人心裡說：‘耶和華必不賜福，也不降禍。’

那時我必拿燈探照耶路撒冷，我必察罰那些懶散人，那些沉澱於糟滓上的，那些心裏想着說：「永恆主必不降福，也不降禍」的。

是時我將以燈遍索耶路撒冷、凡沉靜若酒滓、中心自謂、耶和華不降福、亦不降禍者、我必罰之、

耶路撒冷中有數人、跏趺危坐、若酒澄清、渣滓在底、自謂耶和華不加以賞罰、當是時我必燭照而遍索之、以治其罪、

當是日我必以燈巡察耶路撒冷、其中有人安然無懼、若酒澄清、渣滓在底、若酒澄清渣滓在底或作若酒在渣滓上心中曰、主不降福、亦不降災、如是之人、我必懲罰、

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think,‘ The Lord will do nothing, either good or bad.’

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts,‘ The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.’

“ I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem’s darkest corners to punish those who sit complacent in their sins. They think the Lord will do nothing to them, either good or bad.

And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who settle down comfortably, who say to themselves: The LORD will do nothing— good or bad.

And it will come about at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the people Who are stagnant in spirit, Who say in their hearts,‘ The Lord will not do good nor harm!’

“ And it shall come to pass at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And punish the men Who are settled in complacency, Who say in their heart,‘ The Lord will not do good, Nor will He do evil.’

And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil.

And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who settle down comfortably, who say to themselves: The Lord will not do good or evil.

And it shall come to pass at that time,[ that] I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

At that time I will search through Jerusalem with lamps. I will punish the people who are entrenched in their sin, those who think to themselves,‘ The LORD neither rewards nor punishes.’

It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart,“ Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil.”

How terrible it will be for you men who are so contented on Mount Zion! How terrible for you who feel secure on the hill of Samaria! You are famous men from the greatest nation. The people of Israel come to you for help and advice.

“ Moab has been at peace and rest from its earliest days. It is like wine that has not been shaken up. It has not been poured from one jar to another. Moab’s people have not been taken away from their land. They are like wine that tastes as it always did. Its smell has not changed at all.

The Lord spoke to me. He said,“ Son of man, do you see what the elders of Israel are doing in the dark? Each of them is in his own room worshiping his own god. They say,‘ The Lord doesn’t see us. He has deserted the land.’ ”

I saw the Lord standing next to the altar in the temple. He said to me,“ Strike the tops of the temple pillars. Then the heavy stones at the base of the entrance will shake. Bring everything down on the heads of everyone there. I will kill with my swords those who are left alive. None of the Israelites will escape. None will get away.They might dig down deep. But my powerful hand will take them out of there. They might climb up to the heavens. But I will bring them down from there.They might hide on top of Mount Carmel. But I will hunt them down and grab them. They might hide from me at the bottom of the ocean. But even there I will command the serpent to bite them.

He answered me,“ The sin of Israel and Judah is very great. The land is full of murderers. Its people are not being fair to one another anywhere in Jerusalem. They say,‘ The Lord has deserted the land. He doesn’t see us.’

They say,“ The Lord doesn’t see what’s happening. The God of Jacob doesn’t pay any attention to it.”

“ You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. What do we gain by obeying his laws? And what do we get by pretending to be sad in front of the Lord?But now we call proud people blessed. Things go well with those who do what is evil. And God doesn’t even punish those who test him.’ ”

“ But now I will send for many fishermen,” announces the Lord.“ They will catch some of these people. After that, I will send for many hunters. They will hunt down the others on every mountain and hill. They will bring them out of the cracks in the rocks.My eyes see everything these people do. What they do is not hidden from me. I always see their sin.

They will say,“ Where is this‘ return’ he promised? Everything goes on in the same way it has since our people of long ago died. In fact, it has continued this way since God first created everything.”

The statues of their gods can’t speak. They are like scarecrows in a field of cucumbers. Their statues have to be carried around because they can’t walk. So do not be afraid of their gods. They can’t do you any harm. And they can’t do you any good either.”

Who is the Mighty One? Why should we serve him? What would we get if we prayed to him?’

Sinful people say to themselves,“ God will never notice. He covers his face. He never sees us.”Lord, rise up! God, show your power! Don’t forget those who are helpless.Why do sinful people attack you with their words? Why do they say to themselves,“ He won’t hold us accountable”?

Foolish people say in their hearts,“ There is no God.” They do all kinds of horrible and evil things. No one does anything good.

How terrible for those who say,“ Let God hurry up and do what he says he will. We want to see it happen. Let us see the plan of the Holy One of Israel. We want to know what it is.”

I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I search hearts and minds. I will pay each of you back for what you have done.

People of Esau, everything will be taken away from you. Your hidden treasures will be stolen.
