¹ 以色列家啊，要聽我為你們所作的哀歌：

² 以色列民（原文是處女）跌倒，不得再起；躺在地上，無人攙扶。

³ 主耶和華如此說：以色列家的城發出一千兵的，只剩一百；發出一百的，只剩十個。

⁴ 耶和華向以色列家如此說：你們要尋求我，就必存活。

⁵ 不要往伯特利尋求，不要進入吉甲，不要過到別是巴；因為吉甲必被擄掠，伯特利也必歸於無有。

⁶ 要尋求耶和華，就必存活，免得他在約瑟家像火發出，在伯特利焚燒，無人撲滅。

⁷ 你們這使公平變為茵蔯、將公義丟棄於地的，

⁸ 要尋求那造昴星和參星，使死蔭變為晨光，使白日變為黑夜，命海水來澆在地上的─耶和華是他的名；

⁹ 他使力強的忽遭滅亡，以致保障遭遇毀壞。

¹⁰ 你們怨恨那在城門口責備人的，憎惡那說正直話的。

¹¹ 你們踐踏貧民，向他們勒索麥子；你們用鑿過的石頭建造房屋，卻不得住在其內；栽種美好的葡萄園，卻不得喝所出的酒。

¹² 我知道你們的罪過何等多，你們的罪惡何等大。你們苦待義人，收受賄賂，在城門口屈枉窮乏人。

¹³ 所以通達人見這樣的時勢必靜默不言，因為時勢真惡。

¹⁴ 你們要求善，不要求惡，就必存活。這樣，耶和華─萬軍之神必照你們所說的與你們同在。

¹⁵ 要惡惡好善，在城門口秉公行義；或者耶和華─萬軍之神向約瑟的餘民施恩。

¹⁶ 主耶和華─萬軍之神如此說：在一切寬闊處必有哀號的聲音；在各街市上必有人說：哀哉！哀哉！又必叫農夫來哭號，叫善唱哀歌的來舉哀。

¹⁷ 在各葡萄園必有哀號的聲音，因為我必從你中間經過。這是耶和華說的。

¹⁸ 想望耶和華日子來到的有禍了！你們為何想望耶和華的日子呢？那日黑暗沒有光明，

¹⁹ 景況好像人躲避獅子又遇見熊，或是進房屋以手靠牆，就被蛇咬。

²⁰ 耶和華的日子不是黑暗沒有光明麼？不是幽暗毫無光輝麼？

²¹ 我厭惡你們的節期，也不喜悅你們的嚴肅會。

²² 你們雖然向我獻燔祭和素祭，我卻不悅納，也不顧你們用肥畜獻的平安祭；

²³ 要使你們歌唱的聲音遠離我，因為我不聽你們彈琴的響聲。

²⁴ 惟願公平如大水滾滾，使公義如江河滔滔。

²⁵ 以色列家啊，你們在曠野四十年，豈是將祭物和供物獻給我呢？

²⁶ 你們抬著為自己所造之摩洛的帳幕和偶像的龕，並你們的神星。

²⁷ 所以我要把你們擄到大馬色以外。這是耶和華、名為萬軍之神說的。

²⁵ 因為他們離棄我，向別神燒香，用他們手所做的惹我發怒，所以我的忿怒如火倒在這地上，總不息滅。

¹ Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

² Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

³ I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

⁴ Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵ I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."

⁶ He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

⁷ He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'

⁸ He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.

⁹ If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"

¹⁰ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.

¹¹ Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.

¹² When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

¹³ He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴ The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!"

¹⁵ Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?

¹⁶ Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

¹⁷ As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

¹⁸ He said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it?

¹⁹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."

²⁰ Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?

²¹ It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."

²² He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.

²³ One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,

²⁴ "Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

²⁵ When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' then he will answer and tell you, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'

²⁶ Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

²⁷ He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.

²⁹ They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.

³⁰ Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

³¹ On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."

³² He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

³³ Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'

³⁴ "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

³⁵ Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
