1義人死亡,無人放在心上;虔誠人被收去,無人思念。這義人被收去是免了將來的禍患;The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous are taken away from the presence of evil.

2他們得享(原文是進入)平安。素行正直的,各人在墳裡(原文是床上)安歇。Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.

3你們這些巫婆的兒子,姦夫和妓女的種子,都要前來!“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

4你們向誰戲笑?向誰呢?你們豈不是悖逆的兒女,虛謊的種類呢?Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,

5你們在橡樹中間,在各慾火攻心;在山谷間,在石穴下殺了兒女;who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

6在谷中光滑石頭裡有你的分。這些就是你所得的分;你也向他澆了奠祭,獻了供物,因這事我豈能容忍嗎?Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?

7你在高而又高的山上安設床榻,也上那裡去獻祭。On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.

8你在門後,在後,立起你的紀念;向外人赤露,又上去擴張床榻,與他們立約;你在那裡看見他們的床就甚喜愛。Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.

9你把油帶到王那裡,又多加香料,打發使者往遠方去,自卑自賤直到,You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself.

10你因路遠疲倦,卻不說這是枉然;你以為有復興之力,所以不覺疲憊。You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.

11你怕誰?因誰恐懼?竟說謊,不記念我,又不將這事放在心上。我不是許久閉口不言,你仍不怕我嗎?Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?

12我要指明你的公義;至於你所行的都必與你無益。I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.

13你哀求的時候,讓你所聚集的拯救你吧!風要把他們颳散,一口氣要把他們都吹去。但那投靠我的必得地土,必承受我的聖山為業。When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”

14耶和華要說:你們修築修築,預備道路,將絆腳石從我百姓的路中除掉。And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”

15因為那至高至上、永遠長存(原文是住在永遠)名為聖者的如此說:我住在至高至聖的所在,也與心靈謙卑的人同居;要使謙卑人的靈甦醒,也使痛悔人的心甦醒。For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.

16我必不永遠相爭,也不長久發怒,恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me—the breath of life I have made.

17因他貪婪的罪孽,我就發怒擊打他;我向他掩面發怒,他卻仍然隨心背道。I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.

18我看見他所行的道,也要醫治他;又要引導他,使他和那一同傷心的人再得安慰。I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,

19我造就嘴唇的果子;願平安康泰歸與遠處的人,也歸與近處的人;並且我要醫治他。這是耶和華說的。bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

20惟獨惡人,好像翻騰的海,不得平靜;其中的水常湧出污穢和來。But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.

21我的 神說:惡人必不得平安!“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
