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.

“人子啊，你要对推罗的君王说，主耶和华如此说：你心里高傲，说：‘我是神明；我在海中坐诸神之位。’虽然你把你的心比作神明的心，你却不过是人，并不是神明！

你说：“我必永远为后。”你不将这事放在心上，也不思想事情的结局。你这专好宴乐、以为地位稳固的，现在当听这话。你心中说：“惟有我，除我以外再没有别的。我必不致寡居，也不经历丧子之痛。”

你的损伤并未减轻，你的伤痕极其重大。凡听见这消息的人都因你拍掌。有谁没有时常遭受你的暴行呢？

你这四处呐喊、大声喧哗的城、欢乐的邑啊，你被杀的并非被刀所杀，也不是因打仗阵亡。

我必使这城令人惊骇嘲笑；凡路过的，必因这城所遭的灾难惊骇嘲笑。

唉！先前人口稠密的城市，现在为何独坐！先前在列国中为大的，现在竟如寡妇！先前在各省中为王后的，现在竟成为服苦役的人！

凡过路的都向你拍掌。他们向耶路撒冷嗤笑，摇头：“这就是人称为全美的、称为全地所喜悦的城吗？”

在杀你的人面前，你还能说‘我是神明’吗？在杀害你的人手中，你不过是人，并不是神明。

万民中的商人向你发嘘声；你令人惊恐，不再存留于世，直到永远。”

从那里经过的人讥笑他，摇着头，

她怎样荣耀自己，怎样奢华，也要使她照样痛苦悲哀。因她心里说：‘我坐了皇后的位，并不是寡妇，绝不至于悲哀。’所以在一天之内，她的灾殃要一齐来到，就是死亡、悲哀、饥荒。她将被火烧尽，因为审判她的主上帝大有能力。”地上的君王，与她行淫、一同奢华的，看见烧她的烟，就必为她哭泣哀号；因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着，说：“祸哉，祸哉，这大城！坚固的巴比伦城啊！一时之间，你的审判要来到了。”地上的商人也都为她哭泣悲哀，因为没有人再买他们的货物了；这货物就是金、银、宝石、珍珠、细麻布、丝绸、紫色和朱红色衣料、各样香木、各样象牙的器皿、各样极宝贵的木头和铜、铁、大理石的器皿，和肉桂、豆蔻、香料、香膏、乳香、酒、油、细面、麦子、牛、羊、马、马车，以及奴隶、人口。“你所贪爱的果子离开了你；你一切的珍馐美味和华美的物件都从你那里毁灭，绝对见不到了。”贩卖这些货物、藉着她发财的商人，因怕她的痛苦，就远远地站着哭泣悲哀，说：“祸哉，祸哉，这大城！她穿着细麻、紫色、朱红色的衣服，用金子、宝石、珍珠为妆饰。一时之间，这么多的财富就归于无有了。”所有的船长和到处航海的，水手以及所有靠海为业的，都远远地站着，看见烧她的烟，就喊着说：“有哪一个城能跟这大城比呢？”于是他们把灰尘撒在头上，哭泣悲哀地喊着说：“祸哉，祸哉，这大城！凡有船在海中的，都因她的珍宝成了富足。她在一时之间就成为荒芜。

唉！主竟发怒，使黑云遮蔽锡安！他将以色列的华美从天扔在地上，在他发怒的日子并不顾念自己的脚凳。

主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的时候，说：“我必惩罚亚述王自大的心和他高傲尊贵的眼目。”因为他说：“我所成就的事是靠我手的能力和我的智慧，因为我本有聪明。我挪移列国的地界，抢夺他们所积蓄的财宝，并且像勇士，使坐宝座的降为卑。我的手夺取列国的财宝，好像人夺取鸟窝；我得了全地，好像人拾起被弃的鸟蛋；没有振动翅膀的，没有张嘴的，也没有鸣叫的。”

安逸的妇女啊，起来听我的声音！无虑的女子啊，侧耳听我的言语！

我就必把以色列从我赐给他们的地上剪除，也必从我面前舍弃那为我名所分别为圣的殿，使以色列在万民中成为笑柄，被人讥诮。这殿虽然崇高，将来凡经过的人必惊讶，嗤笑，说：‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢？’

你要说，主耶和华如此说：埃及王法老，你这卧在自己江河中的海怪，看哪，我与你为敌。你曾说：‘我的尼罗河是我的，是我为自己造的。’

风要因他拍掌，并要发叱声，使他离开原地。”

你必唱这诗歌嘲讽巴比伦王说：“欺压人的竟然灭亡！他的凶暴竟然止息！耶和华折断恶人的杖，打断统治者的权杖；

义人要看见而惧怕，并要笑他。看哪，这就是那不以上帝为保障的人，他只倚靠丰富的财物，在邪恶上坚立自己。
