This is the city of revelry that lived in safety. She said to herself,“ I am the one! And there is none besides me.” What a ruin she has become, a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by her scoff and shake their fists.

Nineveh was a carefree city. It lived in safety. It said to itself,“ I am the one! No one is greater than I am.” But it has been destroyed. Wild animals make their home there. All those who pass by laugh and shake their fists at it.

This is the exultant city that lived securely, that said in her heart,“ I am, and there is no one else.” What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.

This is the boisterous city, once so secure.“ I am the greatest!” it boasted.“ No other city can compare with me!” But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a haven for wild animals. Everyone passing by will laugh in derision and shake a defiant fist.

This is the jubilant city that lives in security, that says to herself: I exist, and there is no one else. What a desolation she has become, a place for wild animals to lie down! Everyone who passes by her scoffs and shakes his fist.

This is the presumptuous city That dwells securely, Who says in her heart,“ I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, A resting place for animals! Everyone who passes by her will hiss And wave his hand in contempt.

This is the rejoicing city That dwelt securely, That said in her heart,“ I am it, and there is none besides me.” How has she become a desolation, A place for beasts to lie down! Everyone who passes by her Shall hiss and shake his fist.

This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

『人子啊，你要對推羅的人君說：主永恆主這麼說：『因你心裏高傲，說：「我乃是神；我在海中心，坐神的寶座」；其實你不過是人，並不是神，儘管你居心、自以為有神的心機。——

你自己說：『我必長久存在，永遠做皇后』；故此你不將這些事放在心上，你不意念着事情的結局。故此現在呢、你這專愛宴樂、陶陶自得而居住的人哪，你要聽這話！你心裏說：『我，我以外再沒有別的；我必不至於寡居，必不至於經驗喪子之苦』；

你的破爛無法減輕，你受的擊傷很厲害呀。凡聽見你這消息的都拍掌笑你，因為你不斷的壞行徑、誰沒受過害呢？

你這充滿喧嘩、騷嚷之城，歡躍之都市啊？你中間被刺死的、並不是被刀刺死，也不是戰場上死的。

我必使這城成了令人驚駭、令人嗤笑的地方，凡經過這裏的、都必因這城所受的一切擊傷而驚駭、而嗤笑。

怎麼啦！先前滿有人民的城，現在竟自獨坐啊！先前在列國中為大的，現在竟如寡婦啊！先前在諸省中為王后的，現在竟成了作苦工的啊！

所有過路的人都拍掌嘲笑你；他們都向耶路撒冷小姐嗤笑搖頭說；『難道人所稱為十全十美、全地所喜悅的、就是這城麼？』

在殺你者面前你還能說：「我是神」麼？在刺殺你者手中你不過是人，並不是神呀。

列族之民中的商人必嗤笑你；你必遭受可怕的災難，就永遠不存在了。」』

經過的人毁謗他，搖着頭；

她榮耀自己、荒淫無度、多麼多，你們給她苦痛哀慟也要多麼多。因為她心裏說：『我坐着做皇后，我不是寡婦，決不會見哀慟』；故此在一天之內、她的災殃、死亡、哀慟、饑荒、就必來到；她也必在火中被燒掉；因為審判她、的主上帝大有力量。』地上的君王、素來同她行淫、荒淫無度的、看見她被焚燒的煙，就必為她哭泣捶胸。因怕她的苦痛、都必在遠處站着說：『有禍啊！有禍啊！大城巴比倫！大有勢力的城啊，一時之間你受判罰的時候到了！』地上的商人也為她哭泣哀慟，因為再沒有人買他們的貨物了：沒有人買他們的金銀寶石、珍珠、細麻布、紫布、絲綢、朱紅布等貨物、各樣香木、各樣象牙器皿、頂貴重木製的、銅鐵白石製的各樣器皿、肉桂、荳蔻、香料、香膏、乳香、酒、油、細麵、麥子、牲口、羊、馬、貨車、跟奴僕、就是人口——等貨色。『你心所貪愛的果子已離開了你，你的一切珍饈肥甘、華麗物件、都被毁滅、離開了你，人決不能再見得着了！』這些物件的商人、從這城得財富的、因怕她的苦痛、都必在遠處站着，哭泣哀慟說：『有禍啊！有禍啊！那大城！那披着細麻、紫袍和朱紅袍、用金子、寶石、珍珠、為妝飾的！一時之間這麼大的財富已變為荒涼了！』每一個船長、每一個航行往別處去的和水手們、以及凡作海業的、都在遠處站着，看見她被焚燒的煙就喊着說：『哪一個城能比得過那大城呢？』他們把塵土撒在頭上，哭泣哀慟喊着說：『有禍啊！有禍啊！那大城！那城裏頭凡有船在海中的、由她的珍寶而得財富的、有禍啊！一時之間她已變為荒涼了！

怎麼啦！永恆主竟氣忿忿使黑雲籠罩着錫安小姐啊！他竟將以色列的華美從上天扔在下地啊！他在發怒的日子竟不懷念着自己的腳凳啊！

將來主在錫安山和耶路撒冷了結了他一切作為的時候，他必察罰亞述王心裏自大之表現和他眼目高傲之自炫。因為他說：『我所作的是靠我手的能力、和我的智慧；因為我很聰明；我挪移了別族之民的地界，搶掠了他們的準備庫，我像勇士使他們的居民低落。我的手抓到了別族之民的資財，好像人抓到鳥窩；我取得了全地，好像人拾取了被遺棄的雀蛋一樣；卻沒有動一動翅膀的，或是開一開口啁啾一聲的。』

安逸的婦女啊，起來聽我的聲音哦；漫不在乎的女子啊，側耳聽我所說的話哦。

那麼我就必將以色列人從我所賜給他們的土地上剪滅掉，而我為自己的名所分別為聖的這殿、我也必從我面前丟出，使以色列人在萬族之民中、成為令人談笑令人譏刺的對象。這殿必成為荒堆；凡從這裏經過的人都必驚訝嗤笑、說：「永恆主為甚麼辦這地和這殿到這樣呢？」

來傳講說：主永恆主這麼說：『看哪，埃及王法老啊，我跟你為敵，你這棲伏於自己河中的大鱷魚；你曾經說：「我這河是我自己的；我造了它。」

人拍掌嘲笑他，並發叱聲、使他離開原處。

你必發表這首言論歌來諷刺巴比倫王說：『啊，壓迫人的怎麼息滅了！狂暴怎麼止息了！永恆主折斷了惡人權柄之杖，毁了轄制人者的指揮棍，

義人必看見，必起了敬畏的心，必譏笑他，說：『看哪，這就是那不以上帝為逃難所的勇士！他只倚靠他財物之豐富，而逃難於自己的毁滅中！』
