主示耶利米斯土必灭

16 耶和华的话又临到我说: “你在这地方不可娶妻,生儿养女。 因为论到在这地方所生的儿女,又论到在这国中生养他们的父母,耶和华如此说: 他们必死得甚苦,无人哀哭,必不得葬埋,必在地上像粪土,必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝。他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽做食物。

“耶和华如此说:不要进入丧家,不要去哀哭,也不要为他们悲伤,因我已将我的平安、慈爱、怜悯从这百姓夺去了。这是耶和华说的。 连大带小,都必在这地死亡,不得葬埋。人必不为他们哀哭,不用刀划身,也不使头光秃。 他们有丧事,人必不为他们擘饼,因死人安慰他们。他们丧父丧母,人也不给他们一杯酒安慰他们。 你不可进入宴乐的家,与他们同坐吃喝。 因为万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说:你们还活着的日子,在你们眼前,我必使欢喜和快乐的声音、新郎和新妇的声音,从这地方止息了。

斯民较其列祖尤恶

10 “你将这一切的话指示这百姓,他们问你说:‘耶和华为什么说要降这大灾祸攻击我们呢?我们有什么罪孽呢?我们向耶和华我们的神犯了什么罪呢?’ 11 你就对他们说:‘耶和华说:因为你们列祖离弃我,随从别神,侍奉敬拜,不遵守我的律法。 12 而且你们行恶比你们列祖更甚,因为各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事,甚至不听从我。 13 所以我必将你们从这地赶出,直赶到你们和你们列祖素不认识的地,你们在那里必昼夜侍奉别神,因为我必不向你们施恩。’”

许以色列人仍归故土

14 耶和华说:“日子将到,人必不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来之永生的耶和华起誓, 15 却要指着那领以色列人从北方之地,并赶他们到的各国上来之永生的耶和华起誓。并且我要领他们再入我从前赐给他们列祖之地。”

16 耶和华说:“我要召许多打鱼的把以色列人打上来,然后我要召许多打猎的,从各山上、各冈上、各石穴中猎取他们。 17 因我的眼目察看他们的一切行为,他们不能在我面前遮掩,他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏。 18 我先要加倍报应他们的罪孽和罪恶,因为他们用可憎之尸玷污我的地土,又用可厌之物充满我的产业。”

偶像虚伪诞妄无益

19 耶和华啊,你是我的力量,是我的保障,在苦难之日是我的避难所。列国人必从地极来到你这里,说:“我们列祖所承受的不过是虚假,是虚空无益之物。 20 人岂可为自己制造神呢?其实这不是神!”

21 耶和华说:“我要使他们知道,就是这一次使他们知道我的手和我的能力,他们就知道我的名是耶和华了。”

耶和华降灾难的日子

16 耶和华对耶利米说: “你不可在这地方娶妻,也不可生儿育女。 至于在这地方出生的孩子和他们的父母,耶和华说, ‘他们必死于恶疾,无人哀悼,无人埋葬,他们好像地上的粪便。他们必死于战争和饥荒,尸首必成为飞鸟和走兽的食物。’” 耶和华对我说:“你不要进入丧家为他们哀悼悲伤,因为我已收回我赐给这百姓的平安、慈爱和怜悯。这是耶和华说的。 他们无论尊卑都要死在这里,无人埋葬,无人哀悼,也无人为他们的死而割伤身体、剃光头发。 无人用食物和酒安慰哀悼者,甚至无人给丧父或丧母者一杯安慰酒。 你不可进入宴乐之家与他们同坐吃喝。” 以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说:“在这百姓有生之年,我要使这地方的欢乐声和新郎新娘的欢笑声从他们眼前消失。

10 “当你把这些话告诉他们的时候,他们会质问你,‘耶和华为什么给我们降这大灾难?我们有什么罪?我们哪里得罪了我们的上帝耶和华?’ 11 你要对他们说,‘耶和华说,你们的祖先背弃我,去跟随、供奉、祭拜别的神明;他们背弃我,不遵守我的律法。 12 可是,你们的行为比他们更邪恶,一意孤行,不听从我。 13 所以,我要把你们从这里驱逐到你们和你们祖先都不认识的地方,你们在那里要日夜供奉别的神明,因为我不再恩待你们。’”

14 耶和华说:“时候将到,那时人不再凭把以色列人带出埃及的耶和华起誓, 15 而是凭把他们从流放之地——北方和列国领回来的永活的耶和华起誓。因为我必领他们回到我赐给他们祖先的地方。”

16 耶和华说:“看啊,我要召来许多渔夫把他们捕捞上来,我要召来许多猎人去各山岭和岩穴猎取他们。 17 因为我鉴察他们的一切行为,他们无法隐藏,他们的罪恶逃不过我的眼晴。 18 首先,我要让他们因自己的罪与恶而受加倍的报应,因为他们用没有生命气息的可憎偶像玷污我的土地,使可厌之物充满我的产业。”

19 耶和华啊,你是我的力量,
是我的堡垒,
是我患难时的避难所。
万国都要从地极来朝见你,
说:“我们祖先所拜的神像虚假无用,一无是处。
20 难道人可以为自己制造神明吗?
其实那些神明并不是真神。”

21 耶和华说:“看啊,这一次我要让他们知道我的权柄和能力,让他们知道我是耶和华。”

耶和華降災難的日子

16 耶和華對耶利米說: 「你不可在這地方娶妻,也不可生兒育女。 至於在這地方出生的孩子和他們的父母,耶和華說, 『他們必死於惡疾,無人哀悼,無人埋葬,他們好像地上的糞便。他們必死於戰爭和饑荒,屍首必成為飛鳥和走獸的食物。』」 耶和華對我說:「你不要進入喪家為他們哀悼悲傷,因為我已收回我賜給這百姓的平安、慈愛和憐憫。這是耶和華說的。 他們無論尊卑都要死在這裡,無人埋葬,無人哀悼,也無人為他們的死而割傷身體、剃光頭髮。 無人用食物和酒安慰哀悼者,甚至無人給喪父或喪母者一杯安慰酒。 你不可進入宴樂之家與他們同坐吃喝。」 以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說:「在這百姓有生之年,我要使這地方的歡樂聲和新郎新娘的歡笑聲從他們眼前消失。

10 「當你把這些話告訴他們的時候,他們會質問你,『耶和華為什麼給我們降這大災難?我們有什麼罪?我們哪裡得罪了我們的上帝耶和華?』 11 你要對他們說,『耶和華說,你們的祖先背棄我,去跟隨、供奉、祭拜別的神明;他們背棄我,不遵守我的律法。 12 可是,你們的行為比他們更邪惡,一意孤行,不聽從我。 13 所以,我要把你們從這裡驅逐到你們和你們祖先都不認識的地方,你們在那裡要日夜供奉別的神明,因為我不再恩待你們。』」

14 耶和華說:「時候將到,那時人不再憑把以色列人帶出埃及的耶和華起誓, 15 而是憑把他們從流放之地——北方和列國領回來的永活的耶和華起誓。因為我必領他們回到我賜給他們祖先的地方。」

16 耶和華說:「看啊,我要召來許多漁夫把他們捕撈上來,我要召來許多獵人去各山嶺和岩穴獵取他們。 17 因為我鑒察他們的一切行為,他們無法隱藏,他們的罪惡逃不過我的眼晴。 18 首先,我要讓他們因自己的罪與惡而受加倍的報應,因為他們用沒有生命氣息的可憎偶像玷污我的土地,使可厭之物充滿我的產業。」

19 耶和華啊,你是我的力量,
是我的堡壘,
是我患難時的避難所。
萬國都要從地極來朝見你,
說:「我們祖先所拜的神像虛假無用,一無是處。
20 難道人可以為自己製造神明嗎?
其實那些神明並不是真神。」

21 耶和華說:「看啊,這一次我要讓他們知道我的權柄和能力,讓他們知道我是耶和華。」

Day of Disaster

16 Then the word of the Lord came to me: “You must not marry(A) and have sons or daughters in this place.” For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers:(B) “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried(C) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(D) They will perish by sword and famine,(E) and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”(F)

For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(G) from this people,” declares the Lord. “Both high and low will die in this land.(H) They will not be buried or mourned,(I) and no one will cut(J) themselves or shave(K) their head for the dead. No one will offer food(L) to comfort those who mourn(M) for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give them a drink to console(N) them.

“And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.(O) For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds(P) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride(Q) and bridegroom in this place.(R)

10 “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?’(S) 11 then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped(T) them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.(U) 12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors.(V) See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts(W) instead of obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land(X) into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known,(Y) and there you will serve other gods(Z) day and night, for I will show you no favor.’(AA)

14 “However, the days are coming,”(AB) declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(AC) 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north(AD) and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’(AE) For I will restore(AF) them to the land I gave their ancestors.(AG)

16 “But now I will send for many fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will catch them.(AH) After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt(AI) them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks.(AJ) 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden(AK) from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.(AL) 18 I will repay(AM) them double(AN) for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land(AO) with the lifeless forms of their vile images(AP) and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols.(AQ)(AR)

19 Lord, my strength and my fortress,
    my refuge(AS) in time of distress,
to you the nations will come(AT)
    from the ends of the earth and say,
“Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods,(AU)
    worthless idols(AV) that did them no good.(AW)
20 Do people make their own gods?
    Yes, but they are not gods!”(AX)

21 “Therefore I will teach them—
    this time I will teach them
    my power and might.
Then they will know
    that my name(AY) is the Lord.

16 The word of the Lord came also unto me, saying,

Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.

For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;

They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies.

Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:

Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?

11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.

14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.
