因爾所得非義之利、及爾中所流之血、我則擊掌、

爾貪非義之利、草菅人命、我見之憤恨鼓掌。

爾行不義得財、殺人流血、我忿恨鼓掌、

“‘ I will surely strike my hands together at the unjust gain you have made and at the blood you have shed in your midst.

“‘ “I will clap my hands because I am so angry. You got rich by cheating others. You spilled blood inside the walls of your city.

“ Behold, I strike my hand at the dishonest gain that you have made, and at the blood that has been in your midst.

“ But now I clap my hands in indignation over your dishonest gain and bloodshed.

“‘ Now look, I clap my hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.

“ Behold, then, I strike with My hand your profit which you have made and the bloodshed which is among you.

“ Behold, therefore, I beat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.

Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

“ Now look, I clap My hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.

Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

“‘ See, I strike my hands together at the dishonest profit you have made, and at the bloodshed they have done among you.

“‘“ Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been within you.

我也要拍掌，使我的愤怒平息。这是我—耶和华说的。”

那行事公义、说话正直、憎恶欺压所得之财、摇手不受贿赂、掩耳不听流血的计谋、闭眼不看邪恶之事的，

其中的领袖仿佛野狼抓撕掠物，流人的血，伤害人命，为得不义之财。

“人子啊，你要拍掌预言，使这刀三番两次临到；这是致人死伤的刀，就是包围人，使人大受死伤的刀。

耶和华如此说：“以色列三番四次犯罪，为银子卖了义人，为一双鞋卖了穷人，我必不撤销对它的惩罚。他们把贫寒人的头践踏在地的尘土上，又阻碍困苦人的道路。父子与同一个女子行淫，以致亵渎我的圣名。他们在各祭坛旁边，躺卧在人所典当的衣服上，又在他们神的殿里喝受罚之人的酒。

你们岂可偷盗，杀害，奸淫，起假誓，向巴力烧香，随从素不认识的别神，又来到这称为我名下的殿，在我面前敬拜，说‘我们平安无事’，为了要行这一切可憎的事呢？这称为我名下的殿在你们眼中岂可看为贼窝呢？看哪，我真的都看见了。这是耶和华说的。

祸哉，那些在床上图谋罪孽、筹划恶事的人！天一亮，他们因手中有能力就去行恶。他们看上田地就占据，贪图房屋便夺取；他们欺压户主和他的家庭，霸占人和他的产业。所以耶和华如此说：看哪，我筹划灾祸降与这家族；这灾祸在你们颈项上无法解脱，你们也不能昂首而行，因为这是灾祸的时刻。

你们这些践踏贫穷人、使这地困苦人衰败的，当听这话！你们说：“初一几时过去，我们好卖粮；安息日几时过去，我们好摆开谷物；我们要把伊法变小，把舍客勒变大，以诡诈的天平欺哄人，用银子买贫寒人，以一双鞋换贫穷人，把坏的谷物卖给人。”

不准有人在这事上越轨，占他弟兄的便宜；因为这一类的事，主必报应，正如我预先对你们说过，又切切警告过你们的。

“他们以暴力抢夺，堆积在自己的宫殿里，却不懂得行正直的事。”这是耶和华说的。

恶人家中不是仍有不义之财和惹人生气的变小了的伊法吗？我若用不公道的天平和袋中诡诈的法码，岂可算为清白呢？

人以厚利增加财富，是给那怜悯贫寒人的积财。

巴勒向巴兰怒气发作，就紧握拳头。巴勒对巴兰说：“我召你来诅咒我的仇敌，看哪，你竟然这三次为他们祝福。

在我百姓当中有恶人，他们埋伏，好像捕鸟的人在窥探；他们设罗网陷害人。笼子怎样装满雀鸟，他们的屋里也照样充满诡诈；他们因此得以强大富足。
