¹ 耶利米向众百姓说完了耶和华─他们神的一切话，就是耶和华─他们神差遣他去所说的一切话。

² 何沙雅的儿子亚撒利雅和加利亚的儿子约哈难，并一切狂傲的人，就对耶利米说：你说谎言！耶和华─我们的神并没有差遣你来说：你们不可进入埃及，在那里寄居。

³ 这是尼利亚的儿子巴录挑唆你害我们，要将我们交在迦勒底人的手中，使我们有被杀的，有被掳到巴比伦去的。

⁴ 於是加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长，并众百姓，不听从耶和华的话住在犹大地。

⁵ 加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长却将所剩下的犹大人，就是从被赶到各国回来在犹大地寄居的男人、妇女、孩童，和众公主，并护卫长尼布撒拉旦所留在沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利那里的众人，与先知耶利米，以及尼利亚的儿子巴录，

⁶ a

⁷ 都带入埃及地，到了答比匿。这是因他们不听从耶和华的话。

⁸ 在答比匿，耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

⁹ 你在犹大人眼前要用手拿几块大石头，藏在砌砖的灰泥中，就是在答比匿法老的宫门那里，

¹⁰ 对他们说：万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说：我必召我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来。在所藏的石头上我要安置他的宝座；他必将光华的宝帐支搭在其上。

¹¹ 他要来攻击埃及地，定为死亡的，必致死亡；定为掳掠的，必被掳掠；定为刀杀的，必交刀杀。

¹² 我要在埃及神的庙中使火着起，巴比伦王要将庙宇焚烧，神像掳去；他要得（原文是披上）埃及地，好像牧人披上外衣，从那里安然而去。

¹³ 他必打碎埃及地伯示麦的柱像，用火焚烧埃及神的庙宇。

¹ The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.

² Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

³ On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.

⁴ Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins."

⁵ When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.

⁶ Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!

⁷ Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?

⁸ Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?

⁹ Yahweh of Armies has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

¹⁰ Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.

¹¹ He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Yahweh has ordered the destruction of Canaan's strongholds.

¹² He said, "You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will have no rest."

¹³ Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people was not. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.

¹⁴ Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!

¹⁵ It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.

¹⁶ Take a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may be remembered.

¹⁷ It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth.

¹⁸ Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Yahweh. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
