⁵¹ 撒瑪利亞沒有犯你一半的罪，你行可憎的事比他更多，使你的姊妹因你所行一切可憎的事，倒顯為義。

¹ 你們要讚美耶和華！因歌頌我們的神為善為美；讚美的話是合宜的。

² 耶和華建造耶路撒冷，聚集以色列中被趕散的人。

³ 他醫好傷心的人，裹好他們的傷處。

⁴ 他數點星宿的數目，一一稱他的名。

⁵ 我們的主為大，最有能力；他的智慧無法測度。

⁶ 耶和華扶持謙卑人，將惡人傾覆於地。

⁷ 你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱，用琴向我們的神歌頌。

⁸ 他用雲遮天，為地降雨，使草生長在山上。

⁹ 他賜食給走獸和啼叫的小烏鴉。

¹⁰ 他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。

¹¹ 耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。

¹² 耶路撒冷啊，你要頌讚耶和華！錫安哪，你要讚美你的神！

¹³ 因為他堅固了你的門閂，賜福給你中間的兒女。

¹⁴ 他使你境內平安，用上好的麥子使你滿足。

¹⁵ 他發命在地；他的話頒行最快。

¹⁶ 他降雪如羊毛，撒霜如爐灰。

¹⁷ 他擲下冰雹如碎渣；他發出寒冷，誰能當得起呢？

¹⁸ 他一出令，這些就都消化；他使風颳起，水便流動。

¹⁹ 他將他的道指示雅各，將他的律例典章指示以色列。

²⁰ 別國他都沒有這樣待過；至於他的典章，他們向來沒有知道。你們要讚美耶和華！

¹ You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:

² and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.

³ Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

⁴ Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; [according to] the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

⁵ For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

⁶ Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.

⁷ You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.

⁸ Behold, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.

⁹ Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; [according to] the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.

¹⁰ Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

¹¹ You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

¹² You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

¹³ Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.

¹⁴ Then I said, Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

¹⁵ Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.

¹⁶ Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

¹⁷ that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
