巴比倫啊，我給你設下了陷阱，你在懵然不知中被捉住，因為你與耶和華為敵。

巴比伦哪，我为你设下网罗，你不知不觉被缠住。你被寻着，也被捉住；因为你与耶和华争竞。

巴比伦哪，我为你设下罗网，你被缠住，竟不自觉。你被寻着，也被捉住，因为你对抗耶和华。

巴比倫歟、我為爾設機檻、爾不覺而陷之、為人所遇、為人所擒、以爾與耶和華爭也、

巴比倫人逆我耶和華、故我設坎阱、乘彼不覺、陷於其中。

巴比倫歟、我為爾設機械、爾不覺陷於其中、爾被人尋得、被人擒獲、皆因爾抗逆主、

I set a trap for you, Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it; you were found and captured because you opposed the Lord.

Babylon, I set a trap for you. And you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured. That is because you opposed me.

I set a snare for you and you were taken, O Babylon, and you did not know it; you were found and caught, because you opposed the Lord.

Listen, Babylon, for I have set a trap for you. You are caught, for you have fought against the Lord.

Babylon, I laid a trap for you, and you were caught, but you did not even know it. You were found and captured because you pitted yourself against the LORD.

I set a trap for you and you were also caught, Babylon, While you yourself were not aware; You have been found and also seized Because you have engaged in conflict with the Lord.”

I have laid a snare for you; You have indeed been trapped, O Babylon, And you were not aware; You have been found and also caught, Because you have contended against the Lord.

I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against Jehovah.

祂充滿智慧，能力無比，誰能抗拒祂還可平安無恙？

當夜，迦勒底王伯沙撒被殺。瑪代人大流士六十二歲時奪取了王權。

「強辯者豈可與全能者爭論？與上帝辯駁的人請作出答覆。」

你有上帝那樣的臂膀嗎？你能像祂那樣發出雷鳴嗎？

他會抵擋主，高抬自己超過一切所謂的神明和人們崇拜的對象，甚至坐在上帝的殿中以上帝自居！

「跟造物主爭辯的人有禍了！他不過是世上瓦器中的一件。陶泥怎能對陶匠說，『你在做什麽』？受造之物怎能說，『造我的沒手藝』？

摩西和亞倫便進宮去見法老，對他說：「希伯來人的上帝耶和華說，『你要到什麼時候才肯在我面前謙卑下來，讓我的子民離開這裡去事奉我？

再者，人無法知道何時大難臨頭。禍患突然臨到時，人根本無法擺脫，就像魚落入險惡的網中，又像鳥兒陷入網羅。

轉瞬之間，巴比倫必毀滅。你們要為她哀悼，拿藥為她止痛，或許可以治好她。

我要使她的首領、謀士、省長、總督和勇士都酩酊大醉，長眠不醒。」這是君王——萬軍之耶和華說的。

這使我充滿痛苦，我陷入劇痛中，如同分娩的婦人，我因聽見的話而驚慌，因看見的景象而害怕。我心慌意亂，驚懼不堪，我期盼的黃昏卻令我恐懼。他們擺設宴席，坐在地毯上又吃又喝。突然有人大喊：「官長啊，起來擦亮盾牌，備戰吧！」

我必懲罰這罪惡的世界，懲治邪惡的世人，制止驕橫之人的狂妄，壓下殘暴之徒的驕傲。

她過去怎樣自炫自耀、奢華荒淫，現在也要讓她怎樣痛苦哀傷。因為她心裡說，『我貴為女王，不是寡婦，絕不會經歷哀傷。』所以在一天之內，她的災禍，就是死亡、哀傷和饑荒要同時臨到她身上。她要被火燒盡，因為審判她的主上帝能力偉大。

報信的人接踵而來，向巴比倫王稟告，『整座城已失守，渡口被佔，沼澤地被燒，戰士驚慌失措。』」以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說：「巴比倫城快要被毀滅了，它要被夷為平地，好像被踏平的麥場一樣。」以色列人說：「巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒吞噬我們、擊垮我們，把我們洗劫一空。他像海怪一樣吞吃我們，飽餐我們的美物，然後把我們趕走。」錫安的居民說：「巴比倫人殘暴地對待我們，願他們受報應。」耶路撒冷人說：「願迦勒底人償還我們的血債。」耶和華說：「我的子民啊，我要為你們伸冤，替你們報仇；我要使巴比倫的江河枯竭，泉源乾涸。巴比倫必淪為廢墟，杳無人跡，淪為豺狼出沒的地方，令人驚懼、嗤笑。迦勒底人像群獅一樣怒吼，又像幼獅一樣咆哮。他們食慾大振時，我要為他們設盛宴，使他們酩酊大醉，狂歡亂叫，長眠不起。這是耶和華說的。
