以虛偽為繩引邪惡、如以曳車之索牽罪戾、禍哉其人、

祸哉！那些以虚假之细绳牵罪孽的人！他们又像以套绳拉罪恶，

祸哉！那些以虚假的绳子牵引罪孽，以套车的绳索紧拉罪恶的人。

祸哉！那些以虚假的绳子牵引罪孽，以套车的绳索紧拉罪恶的人。

那些用虚假作绳子扯来罪恶，用套绳拉来邪恶的人有祸了！

那些人虚假的绳索牵引罪孽，又像用车绳拉罪恶的人，有祸了！

祸哉！他们那样的人！他们用虚谎之绳牵拉罪孽、牵拉罪恶，就像用套车之绳一样。

禍哉！那些以虛假之細繩牽罪孽的人！他們又像以套繩拉罪惡，

禍哉！那些以虛假的繩子牽引罪孽，以套車的繩索緊拉罪惡的人。

禍哉！那些以虛假的繩子牽引罪孽，以套車的繩索緊拉罪惡的人。

那些用虛假作繩子扯來罪惡，用套繩拉來邪惡的人有禍了！

那些人虛假的繩索牽引罪孽，又像用車繩拉罪惡的人，有禍了！

有禍啊，那些以虛謊的繩索牽引着罪罰，像以套車粗繩拉罪之報應的人；

禍哉！他們那樣的人！他們用虛謊之繩牽拉罪孽、牽拉罪惡，就像用套車之繩一樣。

人行惡而取戾、若以索曳車、其有禍乎、

禍哉斯人、以惡為索、牽引災罰、亦如以曳車之巨繩、牽引罪報、

Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit, and wickedness as with cart ropes,

How terrible it will be for those who continue to sin and lie about it! How terrible for those who keep on doing what is evil as if they were tied to it!

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes,

What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!

Woe to those who drag iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,

Woe to those who drag wrongdoing with the cords of deceit, And sin as if with cart ropes;

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, And sin as if with a cart rope;

Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;

Woe to those who drag wickedness with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,

Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

Those who pull evil along using cords of emptiness are as good as dead, who pull sin as with cart ropes.

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,

耶路撒冷之先知、所行可憎、我亦見之、縱淫亂、行虛誕、而堅惡人之手、致令無人轉離其惡、彼於我前如所多瑪、其民若蛾摩拉、○

斯土充斥淫人、因受詛而愁慘、野間草場枯槁、其人所行乃惡、其勢不正、

先知傳虛偽、祭司藉以操權、我民咸以為悅、至終爾將若之何、

人將逐爾出會、且時將至、殺爾者、自以為事上帝也、

蓋彼誘惑我民、謂曰平康、實無平康、人築垣墉、彼以不堅之泥塗之、爾當告塗者云、垣必傾圮、霪雨下、巨雹降、飄風裂之、

因彼自欺、以為其惡不顯、不見惡兮、

昔我意謂拿撒勒耶穌之名、當多方攻之、

米迦有神室、遂作聖衣與家神、區別一子、為其祭司、

耶和華歟、彼壓制爾民、困苦爾業、殺嫠婦、戮覉旅、屠孤兒、乃曰耶和華不及見、雅各之上帝不介意兮、愚蠢之民、爾其思之、蒙昧之輩、何時為智乎、造耳者豈無聞、製目者豈無見乎、教誨列邦者、豈不懲責、以智訓人者、豈無知識乎、人之意念為虛、耶和華知之兮、

是時我將以燈遍索耶路撒冷、凡沉靜若酒滓、中心自謂、耶和華不降福、亦不降禍者、我必罰之、

意謂上帝忘之、永蒙厥面、而弗視兮、

然則此耶路撒冷民、恆久悖逆何為乎、彼堅持詭譎、弗肯旋轉、我傾耳以聽、彼不言正直、無人悔其惡行、曰、噫、我所為何事、彼各行其道、若馬之奔馳於陳、空中之鶴、識厥定期、班鳩燕雁、咸依當來之時、惟我民不識耶和華之法律、爾曹奚曰、我乃智者、耶和華之法律在於我中、然文士虛偽之筆、使法律為虛偽、智者愧恥、驚惶而被執、彼既棄耶和華之言、其智維何、

押沙龍謂亞希多弗曰、我儕當若何而行、爾其謀之、亞希多弗曰、爾父留妃以守宮闈、爾入其中、以色列眾聞爾為父所憾、則從爾者、皆強厥手矣、於是為押沙龍張幕宮巔、押沙龍遂入御父妃、以色列人目睹之、當日亞希多弗所設之謀、如諮諏於上帝、為大衛、為押沙龍、皆如是、

凡知其妻焚香於他神者、與旁立諸婦、即居埃及巴忒羅之眾、聚為大會、答耶利米曰、爾託耶和華名諭我之言、我不聽從、我必成我口所言、焚香灌奠於天后、循我及我祖、我王、我牧伯、在猶大諸邑、及耶路撒冷街衢所為、蓋其時我儕足食晏安、不遘災禍、自我不焚香灌奠於天后、則無不缺乏、亡於鋒刃饑饉、我焚香灌奠於天后、作餅以象其形、加以灌奠、我夫豈不與乎、

米迦曰、今有利未人為祭司、我知耶和華必錫嘏於我、

耶和華曰、人豈能退藏於密、使我不見之乎、我豈非充乎天地哉、

愚人意謂無有上帝、其人邪惡、所為可憎、無一行善兮、

惟彼義人、我未使之殷憂、爾以妄誕使之心戚、亦堅惡人之手、致不轉離邪途、而得生存、

其人涉訟、不依公平、申訴不循真實、恃虛偽、言誕妄、懷殘害、生邪慝、煦嫗蝮卵、組織蛛網、食其卵者必死、其卵被踐、則蝮出焉、其網不能為衣、其工不能自蔽、邪慝為其工、強暴在其手、其足趨以行惡、急流無辜之血、衷存邪慝、所經之途、無不荒蕪毀滅、不識平康之路、所行不公、自闢曲徑、行其中者、不獲綏安、

先知耶利米謂先知哈拿尼雅曰、哈拿尼雅歟、爾其聽之、耶和華未嘗遣爾、爾使斯民妄誕是恃、故耶和華曰、我必屏爾於地、因爾出言悖逆耶和華、今歲必死、

爾曰、我與死亡結約、與陰府訂盟、凶災流行、不及我身、我恃乎欺誑、匿於虛偽、
