This is the city of revelry that lived in safety. She said to herself,“ I am the one! And there is none besides me.” What a ruin she has become, a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by her scoff and shake their fists.

Nineveh was a carefree city. It lived in safety. It said to itself,“ I am the one! No one is greater than I am.” But it has been destroyed. Wild animals make their home there. All those who pass by laugh and shake their fists at it.

“人子啊，你对推罗君王说，主耶和华如此说：因你心里高傲，说：‘我是神；我在海中坐神之位。’你虽然居心自比神，也不过是人，并不是神！

你自己说：“我必永为主母”，所以你不将这事放在心上，也不思想这事的结局。你这专好宴乐、安然居住的，现在当听这话。你心中说：“惟有我，除我以外再没有别的。我必不致寡居，也不遭丧子之事。”

你的损伤无法医治；你的伤痕极其重大。凡听你信息的必都因此向你拍掌。你所行的恶谁没有时常遭遇呢？

你这满处呐喊、大有喧哗的城，欢乐的邑啊，你中间被杀的并不是被刀杀，也不是因打仗死亡。

我必使这城令人惊骇嗤笑；凡经过的人，必因这城所遭的灾惊骇嗤笑。

先前满有人民的城，现在何竟独坐！先前在列国中为大的，现在竟如寡妇；先前在诸省中为王后的，现在成为进贡的。

凡过路的都向你拍掌。他们向耶路撒冷城嗤笑，摇头，说：“难道人所称为全美的，称为全地所喜悦的，就是这城吗？”

在杀你的人面前你还能说‘我是神’吗？其实你在杀害你的人手中，不过是人，并不是神。

各国民中的客商都向你发嘶声；你令人惊恐，不再存留于世，直到永远。”

从那里经过的人讥诮他，摇着头，说：

她怎样荣耀自己，怎样奢华，也当叫她照样痛苦悲哀，因她心里说：‘我坐了皇后的位，并不是寡妇，决不至于悲哀。’所以在一天之内，她的灾殃要一齐来到，就是死亡、悲哀、饥荒。她又要被火烧尽了，因为审判她的主神大有能力。”地上的君王，素来与她行淫、一同奢华的，看见烧她的烟，就必为她哭泣哀号。因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着说：“哀哉！哀哉！巴比伦大城，坚固的城啊，一时之间你的刑罚就来到了。”地上的客商也都为她哭泣悲哀，因为没有人再买他们的货物了；这货物就是金、银、宝石、珍珠、细麻布、紫色料、绸子、朱红色料、各样香木、各样象牙的器皿、各样极宝贵的木头，和铜、铁、汉白玉的器皿，并肉桂、豆蔻、香料、香膏、乳香、酒、油、细面、麦子、牛、羊、车、马，和奴仆、人口。巴比伦哪，你所贪爱的果子离开了你；你一切的珍馐美味和华美的物件也从你中间毁灭，决不能再见了。贩卖这些货物、藉着她发了财的客商，因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着哭泣悲哀，说：“哀哉！哀哉！这大城啊！素常穿着细麻、紫色、朱红色的衣服，又用金子、宝石，和珍珠为妆饰。一时之间，这么大的富厚就归于无有了。”凡船主和坐船往各处去的，并众水手，连所有靠海为业的，都远远地站着，看见烧她的烟，就喊着说：“有何城能比这大城呢？”他们又把尘土撒在头上，哭泣悲哀，喊着说：“哀哉！哀哉！这大城啊！”凡有船在海中的，都因她的珍宝成了富足，她在一时之间就成了荒场！

主何竟发怒，使黑云遮蔽锡安城！他将以色列的华美从天扔在地上；在他发怒的日子并不记念自己的脚凳。

主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的时候，主说：“我必罚亚述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的荣耀。”因为他说：“我所成就的事是靠我手的能力和我的智慧，我本有聪明。我挪移列国的地界，抢夺他们所积蓄的财宝；并且我像勇士，使坐宝座的降为卑。我的手够到列国的财宝，好像人够到鸟窝；我也得了全地，好像人拾起所弃的雀蛋。没有动翅膀的；没有张嘴的，也没有鸣叫的。”

安逸的妇女啊，起来听我的声音！无虑的女子啊，侧耳听我的言语！

我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上剪除，并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾，使以色列人在万民中作笑谈，被讥诮。这殿虽然甚高，将来经过的人必惊讶、嗤笑，说：‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢？’

说主耶和华如此说：埃及王法老啊，我与你这卧在自己河中的大鱼为敌。你曾说：‘这河是我的，是我为自己造的。’

人要向他拍掌，并要发叱声，使他离开本处。”

你必题这诗歌论巴比伦王说：“欺压人的何竟息灭？强暴的何竟止息？耶和华折断了恶人的杖，辖制人的圭，

义人要看见而惧怕，并要笑他，说：“看哪，这就是那不以神为他力量的人，只倚仗他丰富的财物，在邪恶上坚立自己。”
