我若出到田間，看哪，有被刀殺的；我若進入城內，看哪，有因饑荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往來經商，不知如何是好。

我若出往田间，就见有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，就见有因饥荒患病的；连先知带祭司在国中往来，也是毫无知识。’”

我若出到田间，看哪，有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，看哪，有因饥荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往来经商，不知如何是好。

我若出到田间，看哪，有被刀杀的；我若进入城内，看哪，有因饥荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往来经商，不知如何是好。

我走到田间，眼前是具具被杀的尸体；我进入城里，见饥荒肆虐，祭司和先知也流亡异乡。’”

如果我出到田间，就看见那些被刀剑所杀的人；如果我走进城里，就看见因饥荒而来的各种疾病。连先知和祭司也流亡到他们素不认识的地方。’”

我若出往田間，就見有被刀殺的；我若進入城內，就見有因饑荒患病的；連先知帶祭司在國中往來，也是毫無知識。

我若出到田間，看哪，有被刀殺的；我若進入城內，看哪，有因饑荒患病的；先知和祭司也在各地往來經商，不知如何是好。

我走到田間，眼前是具具被殺的屍體；我進入城裡，見饑荒肆虐，祭司和先知也流亡異鄉。』」

如果我出到田間，就看見那些被刀劍所殺的人；如果我走進城裡，就看見因饑荒而來的各種疾病。連先知和祭司也流亡到他們素不認識的地方。’”

我若出去到田間，就見有那些被刀劍刺殺的人！我若進入城裏，就見有那些因饑荒而生病的人！連神言人帶祭司在這地都忙於他們的生意經，也不知不覺！」』

我若往於田、則見為刃所戮者、我若入於邑、則見因饑而病者、先知祭司、遊於未識之地、○

往於田、所見無非殺戮、入於邑、觸目盡是餓殍、先知祭司、往來貿易、不以為意。

我若往於田、則見被刃殺戮者、若入於邑、則見因饑困憊者、先知祭司飄流於地、不知將若之何、先知祭司飄流於地不知將若之何或作先知祭司飄流於素不識之地

If I go into the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I go into the city, I see the ravages of famine. Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they know not.’”

Suppose I go into the country. Then I see people who have been killed by swords. Or suppose I go into the city. Then I see people who have died of hunger. Prophet and priest alike have gone to a land they hadn’t known about before.’ ”

If I go out into the field, behold, those pierced by the sword! And if I enter the city, behold, the diseases of famine! For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land and have no knowledge.’”

If I go out into the fields, I see the bodies of people slaughtered by the enemy. If I walk the city streets, I see people who have died of starvation. The prophets and priests continue with their work, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

If I go out to the field, look— those slain by the sword! If I enter the city, look— those ill from famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.

If I go out to the country, There are those killed by the sword! Or if I enter the city, There are diseases from famine! For both prophet and priest Have wandered around in the land that they do not know.’ ”

If I go out to the field, Then behold, those slain with the sword! And if I enter the city, Then behold, those sick from famine! Yes, both prophet and priest go about in a land they do not know.’”

If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.

If I go out to the field, look— those slain by the sword! If I enter the city, look— those ill from famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.

If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.

If I go out into the countryside, I see those who have been killed in battle. If I go into the city, I see those who are sick because of starvation. For both prophet and priest go about their own business in the land without having any real understanding.’”

If I go out into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”

外有刀劍，內有瘟疫、饑荒。在田野的，必因刀劍而死；在城中的，必遭饑荒、瘟疫吞滅。

耶和華啊，求你觀看，因為我在急難中；我的心腸煩亂，我心在我裏面翻轉，因我大大背逆。在外，刀劍使人喪亡；在家，猶如死亡。

因此，我必將他們的妻子給別人，將他們的田地給別人為業；因為他們從最小的到最大的都貪圖不義之財，從先知到祭司全都行事虛假。

就是先知說假預言，祭司把權柄抓在自己手上，我的百姓也喜愛這樣，到了結局你們要怎麼辦呢？

四月初九，城裏的饑荒非常嚴重，當地的百姓都沒有糧食。城被攻破，士兵全都在夜間從靠近王園兩城牆中間的門逃跑出城；迦勒底人正在四圍攻城，他們就往亞拉巴逃去。

「耶和華必將你和你所立統治你的王，領到你和你列祖不認識的國去；在那裏你必事奉別神，就是木頭和石頭。

「因為他們從最小的到最大的都貪圖不義之財，從先知到祭司全都行事虛假。

我並未差遣那些先知，他們竟自奔跑；我沒有對他們說話，他們竟自預言。

祭司從來不問：『耶和華在哪裏呢？』傳講律法的不認識我，官長違背我，先知藉巴力說預言，隨從無益的東西。」

這都因她先知的罪惡和祭司的罪孽，他們在城中流了義人的血。他們如盲人在街上徘徊，又被血玷污，以致人不敢摸他們的衣服。人向他們喊着：「你這不潔淨的，走開！走開！走開！不要摸我！」他們逃走流浪的時候，列國中有人說：「他們不可再寄居此地。」耶和華親自趕散他們，不再眷顧他們；不看重祭司，也不厚待長老。

這些人也因酒搖晃，因烈酒東倒西歪。祭司和先知因烈酒搖晃，被酒所困，因烈酒東倒西歪。他們錯解默示，審判時不分是非。

耶和華必把你們分散在萬民中，從地的這邊到地的另一邊，在那裏你必事奉你和你列祖不認識的神明，就是木頭和石頭。

被刀劍刺殺的勝過因飢餓而死的；飢餓者由於缺乏田裏的出產就消瘦而亡。

他們因貪婪，要用捏造的言語在你們身上取得利益。他們的懲罰，自古以來並不遲延；他們的滅亡也必迅速來到。

城裏的領袖為賄賂行審判，祭司為酬勞施訓誨，先知為銀錢行占卜；他們卻倚賴耶和華，說：「耶和華不是在我們中間嗎？災禍必不臨到我們。」
