¹⁰ 到如今还没有懊悔，没有惧怕，没有遵行我在你们和你们列祖面前所设立的法度律例。

¹ 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

² 你当站在耶和华殿的门口，在那着宣传这话说：你们进这些门敬拜耶和华的一切犹大人，当听耶和华的话。

³ 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说：你们改正行动作为，我就使你们在这地方仍然居住。

⁴ 你们不要倚靠虚谎的话，说：这些是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿！

⁵ 你们若实在改正行动作为，在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平，

⁶ 不欺压寄居的和孤儿寡妇；在这地方不流无辜人的血，也不随从别神陷害自己；

⁷ 我就使你们在这地方仍然居住，就是我古时所赐给你们列祖的地，直到永远。

⁸ 看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。

⁹ 你们偷盗，杀害，奸淫，起假誓，向巴力烧香，并随从素不认识的别神，

¹⁰ 且来到这称为我名下的殿，在我面前敬拜；又说：我们可以自由了。你们这样的举动是要行那些可憎的事麽？

¹¹ 这称为我名下的殿在你们眼中岂可看为贼窝麽？我都看见了。这是耶和华说的。

¹² 你们且往示罗去，就是我先前立为我名的居所，察看我因这百姓以色列的罪恶向那地所行的如何。

¹³ 耶和华说：现在因你们行了这一切的事，我也从早起来警戒你们，你们却不听从；呼唤你们，你们却不答应。

¹⁴ 所以我要向这称我为名下、你们所倚靠的殿，与我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地施行，照我从前向示罗所行的一样。

¹⁵ 我必将你们从我眼前赶出，正如赶出你们的众弟兄，就是以法莲的一切後裔。

¹⁶ 所以，你不要为这百姓祈祷；不要为他们呼求祷告，也不要向我为他们祈求，因我不听允你。

¹⁷ 他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的，你没有看见麽？

¹⁸ 孩子捡柴，父亲烧火，妇女抟面做饼，献给天后，又向别神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。

¹⁹ 耶和华说：他们岂是惹我发怒呢？不是自己惹祸，以致脸上惭愧麽？

²⁰ 所以主耶和华如此说：看哪，我必将我的怒气和忿怒倾在这地方的人和牲畜身上，并田野的树木和地着的出产上，必如火着起，不能熄灭。

²¹ 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说：你们将燔祭加在平安祭上，吃肉罢！

²² 因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，燔祭平安祭的事我并没有提说，也没有吩咐他们。

²³ 我只吩咐他们这一件说：你们当听从我的话，我就作你们的神，你们也作我的子民。你们行我所吩咐的一切道，就可以得福。

²⁴ 他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟随从自己的计谋和顽梗的恶心，向後不向前。

²⁵ 自从你们列祖出埃及地的那日，直到今日，我差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去，每日从早起来差遣他们。

²⁶ 你们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟硬着颈项行恶，比你们列祖更甚。

²⁷ 你要将这一切的话告诉他们，他们却不听从；呼唤他们，他们却不答应。

²⁸ 你要对他们说：这就是不听从耶和华─他们神的话、不受教训的国民；从他们的口中，诚实灭绝了。

²⁹ 耶路撒冷啊，要剪发抛弃，在净光的高处举哀；因为耶和华丢掉离弃了惹他忿怒的世代。

³⁰ 耶和华说：犹大人行我眼中看为恶的事，将可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中，污秽这殿。

³¹ 他们在欣嫩子谷建筑陀斐特的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿女。这并不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心所起的意。

³² 耶和华说：因此，日子将到，这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷，反倒称为杀戮谷。因为要在陀斐特葬埋尸首，甚至无处可葬；

³³ 并且这百姓的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物，并无人哄赶。

³⁴ 那时，我必使犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上，欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，都止息了，因为地必成为荒场。

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

² Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells therein,

³ because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, [and] to serve other gods, that they didn't know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

⁴ However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, don't do this abominable thing that I hate.

⁵ But they didn't listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.

⁶ Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.

⁷ Therefore now thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the midst of Judah, to leave yourselves none remaining;

⁸ in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

⁹ Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁰ They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

¹¹ Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

¹² I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

¹³ For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

¹⁴ so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.

¹⁵ Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

¹⁶ As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we will not listen to you.

¹⁷ But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

¹⁸ But since we left off burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

¹⁹ When we burned incense to the queen of the sky, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?

²⁰ Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,

²¹ The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn't Yahweh remember them, and didn't it come into his mind?

²² so that Yahweh could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.

²³ Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day.

²⁴ Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:

²⁵ Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows.

²⁶ Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says Yahweh, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Yahweh lives.

²⁷ Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

²⁸ Those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.

²⁹ This shall be the sign to you, says Yahweh, that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

³⁰ Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.
