¹⁹ 我招呼我所亲爱的，他们却愚弄我。我的祭司和长老正寻求食物、救性命的时候，就在城中绝气。

¹⁸ 我若出往田间，就见有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，就见有因饥荒患病的；连先知带祭司在国中往来，也是毫无知识（或译：不知怎样才好）。

¹ I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Yahweh's house!"

² Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

³ Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;

⁴ where the tribes go up, even Yah's tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

⁵ For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

⁷ Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
