¹ 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

² 人子啊，主耶和華對以色列地如此說：結局到了，結局到了地的四境！

³ 現在你的結局已經臨到，我必使我的怒氣歸與你，也必按你的行為審判你，照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。

⁴ 我眼必不顧惜你，也不可憐你，卻要按你所行的報應你，照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道我是耶和華。

⁵ 主耶和華如此說：有一災，獨有一災；看哪，臨近了！

⁶ 結局來了，結局來了，向你興起。看哪，來到了！

⁷ 境內的居民哪，所定的災臨到你，時候到了，日子近了，乃是鬨嚷並非在山上歡呼的日子。

⁸ 我快要將我的忿怒傾在你身上，向你成就我怒中所定的，按你的行為審判你，照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。

⁹ 我眼必不顧惜你，也不可憐你，必按你所行的報應你，照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道擊打你的是我耶和華。

¹⁰ 看哪，看哪，日子快到了，所定的災已經發出。杖已經開花，驕傲已經發芽。

¹¹ 強暴興起，成了罰惡的杖。以色列人，或是他們的群眾，或是他們的財寶，無一存留，他們中間也沒有得尊榮的。

¹² 時候到了，日子近了，買主不可歡喜，賣主不可愁煩，因為烈怒已經臨到他們眾人身上。

¹³ 賣主雖然存活，卻不能歸回再得所賣的，因為這異象關乎他們眾人。誰都不得歸回，也沒有人在他的罪孽中堅立自己。

¹⁴ 他們已經吹角，預備齊全，卻無一人出戰，因為我的烈怒臨到他們眾人身上。

¹⁵ 在外有刀劍，在內有瘟疫、饑荒；在田野的，必遭刀劍而死；在城中的，必有饑荒、瘟疫吞滅他。

¹⁶ 其中所逃脫的就必逃脫，各人因自己的罪孽在山上發出悲聲，好像谷中的鴿子哀鳴。

¹⁷ 手都發軟，膝弱如水。

¹⁸ 要用麻布束腰，被戰兢所蓋；各人臉上羞愧，頭上光禿。

¹⁹ 他們要將銀子拋在街上，金子看如污穢之物。當耶和華發怒的日子，他們的金銀不能救他們，不能使心裡知足，也不能使肚腹飽滿，因為這金銀作了他們罪孽的絆腳石。

²⁰ 論到耶和華妝飾華美的殿，他建立得威嚴，他們卻在其中製造可憎可厭的偶像，所以這殿我使他們看如污穢之物。

²¹ 我必將這殿交付外邦人為掠物，交付地上的惡人為擄物；他們也必褻瀆這殿。

²² 我必轉臉不顧以色列人，他們褻瀆我隱密之所，強盜也必進去褻瀆。

²³ 要製造鎖鍊；因為這地遍滿流血的罪，城邑充滿強暴的事，

²⁴ 所以我必使列國中最惡的人來佔據他們的房屋；我必使強暴人的驕傲止息，他們的聖所都要被褻瀆。

²⁵ 毀滅臨近了，他們要求平安，卻無平安可得。

²⁶ 災害加上災害，風聲接連風聲；他們必向先知求異象，但祭司講的律法、長老設的謀略都必斷絕。

²⁷ 君要悲哀，王要披淒涼為衣，國民的手都發顫。我必照他們的行為待他們，按他們應得的審判他們，他們就知道我是耶和華。

⁸ 他們卻悖逆我，不肯聽從我，不拋棄他們眼所喜愛那可憎之物，不離棄埃及的偶像。我就說，我要將我的忿怒傾在他們身上，在埃及地向他們成就我怒中所定的。

¹ "'You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your God.

² "'You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.

³ "'If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

⁴ then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

⁵ Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

⁶ "'I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

⁷ You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸ Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹ "'I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

¹⁰ You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

¹¹ I will set my tent among you: and my soul won't abhor you.

¹² I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

¹³ I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

¹⁴ "'But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;

¹⁵ and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;

¹⁶ I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

¹⁷ I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

¹⁸ "'If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

¹⁹ I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass;

²⁰ and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won't yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

²¹ "'If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.

²² I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.

²³ "'If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;

²⁴ then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁵ I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶ When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

²⁷ "'If you in spite of this won't listen to me, but walk contrary to me;

²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

²⁹ You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

³⁰ I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

³¹ I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

³² I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it.

³³ I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

³⁴ Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

³⁵ As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn't have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.

³⁶ "'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.

³⁷ They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.

³⁸ You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up.

³⁹ Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

⁴⁰ "'If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,

⁴¹ I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;

⁴² then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

⁴³ The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

⁴⁴ Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God;

⁴⁵ but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.'"

⁴⁶ These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
