But suppose you don’t obey his commands. And suppose you have plenty to eat. You build fine houses and live in them.

恐怕你吃得饱足，建造美好的房屋居住，

免得你吃得饱足，建造上好的房屋，住在其中，

免得你吃得饱足，建造上好的房屋，住在其中，

当你们丰衣足食、居室华美、

恐怕你吃饱了，建造美好的房屋居住，

恐怕你吃得飽足，建造美好的房屋居住，

免得你吃得飽足，建造上好的房屋，住在其中，

免得你吃得飽足，建造上好的房屋，住在其中，

當你們豐衣足食、居室華美、

恐怕你吃飽了，建造美好的房屋居住，

恐怕你有的喫、並喫得飽足，建造美好房屋去居住，

恐爾飽食、華屋而居、

既建美室以居、食而果腹、

恐爾食而飽、建美室而居、

Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,

lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them,

For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in,

When you eat and are full, and build beautiful houses to live in,

otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, and you build good houses and live in them,

lest— when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;

lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

When you eat and are full, and build beautiful houses to live in,

Lest[ when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt[ therein];

When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses,

lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;

If you don’t, I might have too much. Then I might say I don’t know you. I might say,‘ Who is the Lord?’ Or I might become poor and steal. Then I would bring shame to the name of my God.

I took care of you in the desert. It was a land of burning heat.I fed them until they were satisfied. Then they became proud. They forgot all about me.

You didn’t serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness when times were good.

When Israel grew fat, they became stubborn. When they were filled with food, they became fat and heavy. They left the God who made them. They turned away from the Rock who saved them.

So I started some large projects. I built houses for myself. I planted vineyards.

“ It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking. They were buying and selling. They were planting and building.

They say,‘ Haven’t our houses just been built again? The city is like a pot used for cooking. And we are the meat in it.’

“ My temple is still destroyed. But you are living in your houses that have beautiful wooden walls.”

I will bring them into a land that has plenty of milk and honey. I promised the land to their people of long ago. In that land they will eat until they have had enough. They will get fat. When they do, they will turn to other gods and worship them. They will turn their backs on me. They will break my covenant.

He says,‘ I will build myself a great palace. It will have large rooms upstairs.’ So he makes big windows in it. He covers its walls with cedar boards. He decorates it with red paint.“ Jehoiakim, does having more and more cedar boards make you a king? Your father Josiah had enough to eat and drink. He did what was right and fair. So everything went well with him.

You make poor people pay tax on their straw. You also tax their grain. So, even though you have built stone houses, you won’t live in them. You have planted fruitful vineyards. But you won’t drink the wine they produce.
