¹ 他帶我回到殿門，見殿的門檻下有水往東流出（原來殿面朝東）。這水從檻下，由殿的右邊，在祭壇的南邊往下流。

² 他帶我出北門，又領我從外邊轉到朝東的外門，見水從右邊流出。

³ 他手拿準繩往東出去的時候，量了一千肘，使我逿過水，水到踝子骨。

⁴ 他又量了一千肘，使我逿過水，水就到膝；再量了一千肘，使我逿過水，水便到腰；

⁵ 又量了一千肘，水便成了河，使我不能逿過。因為水勢漲起，成為可洑的水，不可逿的河。

⁶ 他對我說：人子啊，你看見了甚麼？他就帶我回到河邊。

⁷ 我回到河邊的時候，見在河這邊與那邊的岸上有極多的樹木。

⁸ 他對我說：這水往東方流去，必下到亞拉巴，直到海。所發出來的水必流入鹽海，使水變甜（原文是得醫治；下同）。

⁹ 這河水所到之處，凡滋生的動物都必生活，並且因這流來的水必有極多的魚，海水也變甜了。這河水所到之處，百物都必生活。

¹⁰ 必有漁夫站在河邊，從隱基底直到隱以革蓮，都作曬（或譯：張）網之處。那魚各從其類，好像大海的魚甚多。

¹¹ 只是泥濘之地與窪濕之處不得治好，必為鹽地。

¹² 在河這邊與那邊的岸上必生長各類的樹木；其果可作食物，葉子不枯乾，果子不斷絕。每月必結新果子，因為這水是從聖所流出來的。樹上的果子必作食物，葉子乃為治病。

¹³ 主耶和華如此說：你們要照地的境界，按以色列十二支派分地為業。約瑟必得兩分。

¹⁴ 你們承受這地為業，要彼此均分；因為我曾起誓應許將這地賜與你們的列祖；這地必歸你們為業。

¹⁵ 地的四界乃是如此：北界從大海往希特倫，直到西達達口。

¹⁶ 又往哈馬、比羅他、西伯蓮（西伯蓮在大馬色與哈馬兩界中間），到浩蘭邊界的哈撒哈提干。

¹⁷ 這樣，境界從海邊往大馬色地界上的哈薩以難，北邊以哈馬地為界。這是北界。

¹⁸ 東界在浩蘭、大馬色、基列，和以色列地的中間，就是約但河。你們要從北界量到東海。這是東界。

¹⁹ 南界是從他瑪到米利巴加低斯的水，延到埃及小河，直到大海。這是南界。

²⁰ 西界就是大海，從南界直到哈馬口對面之地。這是西界。

²¹ 你們要按著以色列的支派彼此分這地。

²² 要拈鬮分這地為業，歸與自己和你們中間寄居的外人，就是在你們中間生養兒女的外人。你們要看他們如同以色列人中所生的一樣；他們在以色列支派中要與你們同得地業

²³ 外人寄居在哪支派中，你們就在那裡分給他地業。這是主耶和華說的。

¹ The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

² You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

³ All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.

⁴ Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don't labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁵ For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."

⁶ Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

⁷ It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

⁸ He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

⁹ You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

¹⁰ You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

¹¹ You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn't look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.

¹² In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:

¹³ and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."

¹⁴ Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁵ Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, "Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

¹⁶ 'What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!"

¹⁷ Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

¹⁸ He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.

¹⁹ I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

²⁰ It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

²¹ and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

²² I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.

²³ I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father's house.

²⁴ They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.

²⁵ "In that day," says Yahweh of Armies, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it."
