是以上帝有言、必翦滅之、惟所選之摩西、當其衝、立其前、挽回其怒、免行翦滅兮、

於是欲加翦滅、惟有摩西、為上帝所遴選、代民祈求、爰息震怒、不殲斯族兮、

惟時主云將翦滅之、幸有主所選之摩西、立於主前、挽回主怒、不行誅戮、

若非每瑟。為之緩頰。彼代之人。久矣絕跡。

「因為耶和華說要毀滅你們，我就俯伏在耶和華面前四十晝夜，

我想在他們中間尋找一位重修城牆的人，站在我面前為這地方堵住缺口，免得我毀滅這裡。可是，我一個也找不到。

「耶和華又對我說，『我已看出，這是頑固不化的百姓。不要攔我，我要毀滅他們，從世上抹去他們的名字。我要使你的子孫成為一個比他們更強大的民族。』

耶和華說：「你們在耶路撒冷街頭四處看看，在廣場找找，如果你們能找到一個公正誠實的人，我就赦免這城。

對可拉一夥人說：「到了明天早上，耶和華必顯明誰是屬於祂的，誰是聖潔的。祂必讓祂所揀選的人到祂面前。

懇求你赦免他們的罪，不然請你從你的冊子上抹掉我的名字吧。」

「和前一次一樣，我又在山上待了四十晝夜，耶和華又聽了我的祈求，答應不毀滅你們。

你不要阻止我，我要向他們發烈怒，毀滅他們。我要使你的後代成為大國。」摩西懇求他的上帝耶和華說：「耶和華啊，你為什麼要向你的子民發烈怒呢？這些子民是你親自用神蹟和大能從埃及領出來的。難道你要讓埃及人議論說你領他們出來是出於惡意，是為了在山野之間殺掉他們，從地上滅絕他們嗎？求你息怒，施憐憫，不要降禍給你的子民。求你顧念你的僕人亞伯拉罕、以撒和以色列，你曾憑自己向他們起誓說，『我必使你們的後代像天上的星星那麼多。我應許給你們後代的這整片土地，我必賜給他們作永遠的產業。』」耶和華聽了摩西的話，就心生憐憫，不把所說的災禍降在百姓身上。

祂派遣祂的僕人摩西和祂揀選的亞倫，

沒有上去堵住缺口，也沒有重建以色列的圍牆，使以色列在耶和華的日子來臨時的爭戰中堅立。

「『然而，他們卻背叛我，不聽我的話，沒有除去他們祭拜的可憎之物和埃及的偶像。我本想在埃及向他們發烈怒，傾倒我的怒火，

如果你們屬於這個世界，世人一定會愛你們。可是你們不屬於這世界，我已經把你們揀選出來，因此世人恨你們。

所以你們要彼此認罪，互相代禱，好得到醫治。義人的禱告有極大的力量和功效。

「看啊！我所揀選、所眷愛、所喜悅的僕人，我要將我的靈賜給祂，祂要向萬邦宣揚正義。

耶和華向你們發烈怒，要毀滅你們，我非常懼怕。但耶和華再次垂聽了我的祈求。

不是你們揀選了我，而是我揀選了你們，並且派你們出去結永存的果子。這樣，你們奉我的名無論向父求什麼，祂都會賜給你們。

「『可是，以色列人卻在曠野背叛我，不遵行我的律例和典章——遵行的人必活著，大肆褻瀆我的安息日。我本想在曠野向他們發烈怒，滅絕他們。但我沒有這樣做，以免我的名在周圍列邦面前被褻瀆，因為列邦親眼看見我向以色列人顯現，把他們帶出埃及。
