¹ 耶和华的话又临到我说：

² 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！

³ 看哪，你比但以理更有智慧，甚麽秘事都不能向你隐藏。

⁴ 你靠自己的智慧聪明得了金银财宝，收入库中。

⁵ 你靠自己的大智慧和贸易增添资财，又因资财心里高傲。

⁶ 所以主耶和华如此说：因你居心自比神，

⁷ 我必使外邦人，就是列国中的强暴人临到你这里；他们必拔刀砍坏你用智慧得来的美物，亵渎你的荣光。

⁸ 他们必使你下坑；你必死在海中，与被杀的人一样。

⁹ 在杀你的人面前你还能说我是神麽？其实你在杀害你的人手中，不过是人，并不是神。

¹⁰ 你必死在外邦人手中，与未受割礼（或译：不洁；下同）的人一样，因为这是主耶和华说的。

¹¹ 耶和华的话临到我说：

¹² 人子啊，你为推罗王作起哀歌，说主耶和华如此说：你无所不备，智慧充足，全然美丽。

¹³ 你曾在伊甸神的园中，佩戴各样宝石，就是红宝石、红璧玺、金钢石、水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉、蓝宝石、绿宝石、红玉，和黄金；又有精美的鼓笛在你那里，都是在你受造之日预备齐全的。

¹⁴ 你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯；我将你安置在神的圣山上；你在发光如火的宝石中间往来。

¹⁵ 你从受造之日所行的都完全，後来在你中间又察出不义。

¹⁶ 因你贸易很多，就被强暴的事充满，以致犯罪，所以我因你亵渎圣地，就从神的山驱逐你。遮掩约柜的基路伯啊，我已将你从发光如火的宝石中除灭。

¹⁷ 你因美丽心中高傲，又因荣光败坏智慧，我已将你摔倒在地，使你倒在君王面前，好叫他们目睹眼见。

¹⁸ 你因罪孽众多，贸易不公，就亵渎你那里的圣所。故此，我使火从你中间发出，烧灭你，使你在所有观看的人眼前变为地上的炉灰。

¹⁹ 各国民中，凡认识你的，都必为你惊奇。你令人惊恐，不再存留於世，直到永远。

²⁰ 耶和华的话临到我说：

²¹ 人子啊，你要向西顿预言攻击他，

²² 说主耶和华如此说：西顿哪，我与你为敌，我必在你中间得荣耀。我在你中间施行审判、显为圣的时候，人就知道我是耶和华。

²³ 我必使瘟疫进入西顿，使血流在他街上。被杀的必在其中仆倒，四围有刀剑临到他，人就知道我是耶和华。

²⁴ 四围恨恶以色列家的人，必不再向他们作刺人的荆棘，伤人的蒺藜，人就知道我是主耶和华。

²⁵ 主耶和华如此说：我将分散在万民中的以色列家招聚回来，向他们在列邦人眼前显为圣的时候，他们就在我赐给我仆人雅各之地，仍然居住。

²⁶ 他们要在这地上安然居住。我向四围恨恶他们的众人施行审判以後，他们要盖造房屋，栽种葡萄园，安然居住，就知道我是耶和华─他们的神。

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your seed.'

² I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

³ to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."

⁴ When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.

⁵ Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"

⁶ The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

⁷ Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

⁸ It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their Tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

⁹ It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.

¹⁰ All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their Tent door.

¹¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.

¹² Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

¹³ Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."

¹⁴ He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

¹⁵ He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, don't carry us up from here.

¹⁶ For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?"

¹⁷ Yahweh said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

¹⁸ He said, "Please show me your glory."

¹⁹ He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."

²⁰ He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."

²¹ Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.

²² It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

²³ then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
