爾往陶人之宅、予有言告爾、我往陶人之宅、見其以鈞製器、陶人摶土甄陶、以製器皿、未成而毀、遂製他器、任其意之所欲為。耶和華諭我曰、以色列族乎、我之待爾、豈不能如陶人乎。譬彼泥土、其權操自陶人、爾曹以色列族、其權操之於我、亦若是。始我命邦國、必當翦滅、撥其根本、而彼邦國、悛改厥行、則我欲降之災、必不行焉。

耶和華告我曰、當取陶器、招民長、祭司長、咸集。偕往東門之外、便欣嫩谷、以我所言播告於眾、云、猶大王耶路撒冷民、宜聽耶和華之言、萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華云、我必降災於斯土、聽之者必震其耳。彼違逆予、凟我聖所、在此焚香、以敬他上帝、他上帝之聖名、自厥祖以迄子孫、更逮猶大國王、未嘗聞也、亦殺無辜、流血遍染此所。彼事巴力、築崇丘以奉之、焚子女以獻之、我所嚴禁、我所痛疾。耶和華又曰、時日將至、人必不復以陀法便欣嫩谷名斯土、而以殺戮稱之。蓋在斯土、猶大及耶路撒冷人之謀、我必敗之、使陷於敵手、殞於鋒刃、其尸駭為飛鳥走獸所食。我必使此邑荒蕪、人發怨聲、過斯土者見此鞠凶、則驚愕欷歔不已。爰遇群敵、環而攻之、勢甚危迫欲殲其命、子女友朋之肉、民相殘食、我使之然。斯言既竟、當毀陶器、使同行者目擊焉。告眾曰、萬有之主耶和華曰、我必毀此邑民、猶毀陶器、不能復完、死者既眾、無地可埋、咸葬於陀法、耶和華又曰、我必視此邑民、有如陀法、猶大王宮殿、耶路撒冷廬舍、必視為污衊、無異陀法、蓋在樓巔、人焚香以奉天象、酒以灌奠、崇敬他上帝、○耶利米奉耶和華命往陀法、述此預言既竟、則詣殿院、立而告眾、曰、萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、斯邑及四周之民、強項不從我言、故所言之災、必降其身。

耶和華謂我曰、當取麻帶、勿浸於水、以束於腰、我遵耶和華諭、取帶束腰。耶和華復告我曰、取束腰之帶、往百辣河、藏於磐隙。我遂往、藏之於百辣、遵耶和華命、歷日既久、耶和華告我曰、我昔諭爾、藏帶於百辣、今往取之。我往百辣、於所藏之所、掘磐取帶、帶已糜爛無益。耶和華告我曰。猶大及耶路撒冷汰侈已甚、我耶和華將敗之、與此無異。惡民不聽我言、輒自縱恣、崇奉他上帝、服事崇拜之、必使之無益、有如此帶。耶和華曰、帶附人身、如此我使以色列族猶大家附我、為我民、聲名播揚、榮譽昭著、惟彼不聽。

我叠顯異象、屢使先知罕譬而喻、以告斯民、

適耶羅破暗衣新製之服、自耶路撒冷出時、先知者示羅人亞希雅遇諸塗、無人在側。亞希雅取耶羅破暗所衣之新服、裂成十有二方、告之曰、爾必取十方、蓋以色列族上帝耶和華曰、我將分裂以色列國、奪於所羅門手、畀爾十支派、

邑將被圍、當鑿汲道、修城垣、搗土使堅、設陶造瓦、

亞述王撒根遣大單至亞實突、攻而破之、是時耶和華諭亞麼士子以賽亞云、爾身衣麻、足曳履、俱當去之。以賽亞遵命、裸裎跣足而行、耶和華曰、我僕以賽亞裸裎跣足、行於衢路、已閱三年、可為預兆、以示埃及古實人。斯後亞述王、伐埃及、古實、虜其旄倪、使之裸裎跣足、露其下體、以凌辱之。

惟爾人子取瓦、置於前、以耶路撒冷城、圖刻於上、環攻其城、建崇臺、築營壘、發鎚、欲破之、取鐵釜、置於鐵垣、在爾與城間、以此圍城、困迫特甚、以上所圖、堪以為兆、示以色列族。爾身左側以卧、為以色列族負罪、視爾偃卧之日數幾何、則爾負其罪亦若是。以色列族獲罪三百九十年、我使爾負其罪、當歷三百九十日。其數既盈、爾身當右側以卧、負猶大家之罪、歷四十日、一日以抵一年。爾必面嚮耶路撒冷圖、而袒其臂、為攻城之兆。我將束縛爾、使爾能不反側、至城陷之日乃已。爾必取小麥、麰麥、巨豆、細豆、黍與粗麥、置於一器、以之為餅、爾身側卧、凡歷三百有九十日其時爾必食之。權衡輕重、日食十兩、隨時而食。當量水隨時而飲、一升有半、爾食麥餅、必以人之糞壤炊之、使眾目擊。耶和華曰、我驅以色列族、散於異邦、必使食不潔之餅、亦若此、我曰、我主耶和華與、我未嘗不潔、自幼迄今、自斃之畜、噬傷之獸、未嘗果腹、可惡之物、未嘗入口。主曰、爾炊餅、我許爾取牛糞、以代人矢、又曰、人子、吾必使耶路撒冷人、養生之餅匱乏、將權餅而食、量水而飲、不敢少過、中心危懼、待餅水俱絶、互相觀望、因罪而亡。惟爾人子、必取利刃、薙其鬚髮、權衡輕重而分之、待城陷之日、必取髮三分之一、焚於邑中、以三分之一割之以刀、以三分之一散之四方、我亦襲之以刃、爾當以髮少許、半繫於矜、半投之火、焚之務盡、蓋必有火出、焚以色列全家、主耶和華又曰、以上皆指耶路撒冷而言、昔我置其邑民於列國中。我之律例法度、彼不遵從、而反作惡、較列邦尤甚、故主耶和華曰、因爾違逆、不遵我律例、不守我法度、較列邦尤甚、列邦有善政、亦弗恪從、故主耶和華曰、我必攻爾、降災於爾、使列邦目睹、因爾所為、深堪痛疾、我必降罰、自古迄今、至於後世、未有若此之甚。我降災於爾邑、使父子相食、遺民散於四方。主耶和華又曰、我指己而誓、因爾以可惡之物玷我聖所、故我必使人民減少、不加矜憫。爾民三分之一、必亡於瘟疫饑饉、三分之一、必亡於鋒刃、三分之一、必散於四方、我亦襲之以白刃、怒既奮發、則雪予忿、使爾知予所言者、因熱中而言之、所行者、因憤烈而行之。我使爾國荒涼、如是之甚、四周列邦及過爾地者、無不駭異、共相姍笑。我怒憤烈、降以重災、使四方之民譏笑侮慢、以爾之事為可戒可異、我耶和華已言之矣。俾爾饑饉、日漸匱乏、絶爾餱糧、滅爾生命、如亡以毒矢、不第降以饑饉、亦使暴獸攘爾子女、又使瘟疫鋒刃、臨於爾邦、耶和華已言之矣。

言竟則繫書於石、投之百辣河中。曰耶和華降災於巴比倫、使彼困乏、沉而不浮、有如此書、於是耶利米之言畢矣。

有能天使舉大石如磨、投於海、曰、巴比倫大邑、當猝然傾圮、不復得見、有如此石、

畀以重任、艱苦其身、陶瓦、擣土、力田、所服之役、無不以嚴。○

驅民出邑、或解以鋸、或擊以打禾之鐵具、或傷以斧斤、或使經陶瓦之所。大闢待亞捫族諸城俱若此、然後率眾凱旋、至耶路撒冷。

故爾人子、必預為備、將行遷徙、當在晝時、俾違逆者目睹、庶或思而悔之。爾當晝時檢什物、若將遷徙、夕時出門、若被俘囚、使眾目睹。鑿壁以遁、由此徙物、俾眾目睹、爾乘昏夜、負物而出、蒙面而行、不見所至之地、俾眾目睹、蓋我置爾為以色列族之兆。我遵命而行、晝檢什物、若被俘囚、夕時鑿壁、將乘昏夜、負物而出、使眾目睹。詰朝耶和華諭我云、人子、以色列違逆之家問爾何為、爾當以我耶和華之命告之曰、此乃耶路撒冷之君、及以色列全家、將來之兆。爾當告之曰、我為兆以示爾、我所為者、其後爾亦必若是、必移貨財、被擄而去、君將負荷、乘夜而出、鑿壁以遁、行必蒙面、不得見其地、我張網羅、罹之於中、曳至迦勒底之巴比倫、雖死於彼、亦不得見其地。彼之左右、爰及軍旅、我必散之於四方、襲之以白刃、既散之於列邦、令彼曉然、我乃耶和華。我必遣數人、得免鋒刃、饑饉瘟疫、使之旅於列邦、自言其非、深可痛疾、使知我乃耶和華。

就我儕、取保羅帶、自縛手足、曰、聖神言、在耶路撒冷、猶太人將如此縛斯帶之主、解與異邦人矣、
