耶利米书 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

耶路撒冷的罪

5 耶和华说：

“你们在耶路撒冷街头四处看看，
在广场找找，
如果你们能找到一个公正诚实的人，
我就赦免这城。
2 虽然他们凭永活的耶和华起誓，
却口是心非。”
3 耶和华啊，你要的不是诚实吗？
你责打他们，他们不感到疼痛；
你严惩他们，他们仍不受教。
他们屡教不改，
脸比石头还硬。

4 我想：“他们贫穷、愚昧，
不明白他们上帝耶和华的道，
也不知道祂的法令。
5 我要找他们的首领说话，
因为这些首领明白耶和华的道，
知道他们上帝的法令。”
然而，他们却一致违背耶和华的律法，
不服从祂的法令。
6 因此，林中的狮子必袭击他们，
荒野的豺狼必残害他们，
豹子也蹲伏在他们的城外，
伺机撕裂出城的人，
因为他们罪大恶极，屡屡叛道。

7 耶和华说：
“耶路撒冷啊，我怎能赦免你呢？
你的儿女背弃我，
凭假神起誓。
我供应他们的一切需要，
他们却纵情淫乱，
涌向娼妓的家。
8 他们像吃得肥壮、发情的公马，
垂涎邻居的妻子。
9 我怎能不惩罚他们呢？
我怎能不亲自报应这样的国民呢？
这是耶和华说的。
10 你们要去毁坏她的葡萄园，
但不可彻底毁坏。
要砍掉枝子，
因为那些枝子不属于耶和华。
11 以色列人和犹大人根本不忠于我。
这是耶和华说的。

12 “他们撒谎说，
‘耶和华不会管我们，
我们必不会遇到灾祸、战争和饥荒。
13 先知的话不过是一阵风，
不是来自上帝，
他们预言的灾祸必降临到自己身上。’”

14 因此，万军之上帝耶和华对我说：
“因为他们说了这话，
我要使我的话在你口中成为火，
使他们像柴一样被烧毁。
15 以色列人啊，我要使一个国家，
一个历久不衰的古国从远方来攻击你们，
你们不明白他们的语言，
也听不懂他们说的话。
这是耶和华说的。
16 他们都是勇士，
他们的弓箭杀人无数。
17 他们必吞噬你们的儿女、牛羊、
粮食、葡萄和无花果，
用刀剑摧毁你们所依靠的坚城。”

18 耶和华说：“即使在那时，我也不会彻底毁灭你们。 19 耶利米啊，如果有人问，‘为什么我们的上帝耶和华这样待我们？’你可以对他们说，‘你们怎样背弃耶和华，在自己的土地上供奉外族的神明，也要怎样在异地他乡服侍外族人。’

20 “要在犹大向雅各家高声宣布，
21 ‘听着，你们这群愚昧无知的人啊，
你们视而不见，
听而不闻。
22 难道你们不敬畏我吗？
这是耶和华说的。
难道你们在我面前不颤抖吗？
我以沙石为海的界限，
使水永远不能越过它。
汹涌的波涛不能逾越，
澎湃的海浪不能漫过。
23 但你们这些人顽固不化，
悖逆成性。
你们离我而去。
24 你们心中从未说，
我们要敬畏我们的上帝耶和华，
祂按时降下秋雨和春雨，
让我们按时收割。
25 你们的罪过使你们不再风调雨顺，
你们的罪恶使你们失去祝福。’
26 我的子民中有恶人，
他们像捕鸟人一样埋伏等候，
设下网罗陷害人。
27 他们的家里充满了诡诈，
就像笼子装满了鸟。
他们变得有财有势，
28 吃得肥胖红润，
坏事做尽，不为孤儿申冤，
不为穷人主持公道。”
29 耶和华说：“我怎能坐视不理呢？
我怎能不惩罚这样的国家呢？
30 这地方发生了一件令人震惊、恐惧的事，
31 就是先知说假预言，
祭司滥用权力，
我的子民却以此为乐。
但当最后的结局来临时，
他们还能做什么呢？

Jeremiah 5
Legacy Standard Bible

Jerusalem Refuses to Repent

5 “(A)Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
And see now and know,
And seek in her open squares,
If you can (B)find a man,
(C)If there is one who does justice, who seeks faithfulness,
Then I will pardon her.
2 And (D)if they say, ‘As Yahweh lives,’
Then they swear to a lie.”
3 O Yahweh, do not (E)Your eyes look for faithfulness?
You have (F)struck them,
But they did not [a]weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they (G)refused to receive discipline.
They have (H)made their faces stronger than rock;
They have refused to [b]repent.

4 Then I said, “They are only the poor;
They are foolish;
For they (I)do not know the way of Yahweh
Or the legal judgment of their God.
5 Let me go to the great
And let me speak to them,
For (J)they know the way of Yahweh
And the legal judgment of their God.”
But they too, altogether, have (K)broken the yoke
And torn apart the bonds.
6 Therefore (L)a lion from the forest will strike them down;
A (M)wolf of the deserts will devastate them;
A (N)leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces
Because their (O)transgressions are many;
Their acts of faithlessness are mighty.

7 “Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And (P)sworn by those who are (Q)not gods.
I had satisfied them to the full,
Then they (R)committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.
8 They were well-fed lusty horses,
Each one neighing after his (S)neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish [c]these people,” declares Yahweh,
“And on a nation such as this
(T)Shall I not avenge Myself?

10 “Go up through her vine rows and make them a ruin,
But do not make a complete destruction;
Remove her branches,
For they are not Yahweh’s.
11 For the (U)house of Israel and the house of Judah
Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares Yahweh.
12 They have (V)dealt falsely about Yahweh
And said, “[d](W)Not He;
Calamity will (X)not come on us,
And we (Y)will not see sword or famine.
13 The (Z)prophets are as wind,
And the word is not in them.
Thus it will be done to them!”

A Stubborn and Rebellious People

14 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts,

“Because you have spoken this word,
Behold, I am (AA)making My words in your mouth fire
And this people wood, and it will devour them.
15 Behold, I am (AB)bringing a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh.
“It is an enduring nation;
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose (AC)tongue you do not know,
Nor can you [e]understand what they say.
16 Their (AD)quiver is like an (AE)open grave;
All of them are mighty men.
17 They will (AF)devour your harvest and your food;
They will devour your sons and your daughters;
They will devour your flocks and your herds;
They will devour your (AG)vines and your fig trees;
They will demolish with the sword your (AH)fortified cities in which you trust.

18 “Yet even in those days,” declares Yahweh, “I will not make you a complete destruction. 19 It shall come about (AI)when [f]they say, ‘Why has Yahweh our God done all these things to us?’ then you shall say to them, ‘As you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will (AJ)serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’

20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob
And cause it to be heard in Judah, saying,
21 ‘Now hear this, O people who are simpleminded fools and without a heart of wisdom,
Who have (AK)eyes but do not see,
Who have ears but do not hear.
22 Do you not (AL)fear Me?’ declares Yahweh.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have (AM)placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
A perpetual statute, so it cannot cross over it.
Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.
23 But this people has a (AN)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and gone away.
24 They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear Yahweh our God,
Who (AO)gives rain in its season,
Both (AP)the [g]early rain and the [h]late rain,
Who keeps for us
The (AQ)appointed weeks of the harvest.”
25 Your (AR)iniquities have turned these away,
And your sins have withheld good from you.
26 For wicked men are found among My people;
They (AS)watch like fowlers [i]lying in wait;
They set a [j]trap;
They catch men.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
So their houses are full of (AT)deceit;
Therefore they have become great and rich.
28 They are (AU)fat, they are sleek;
They also [k]excel in deeds of evil;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the [l](AV)orphan, that they may succeed;
And they do not [m]render justice for the poor.
29 (AW)Shall I not punish [n]these people?’ declares Yahweh,
‘On a nation such as this
Shall I not avenge Myself?’

30 “A horrible and (AX)appalling thing
Has happened in the land:
31 The (AY)prophets prophesy with lying,
And the priests have dominion [o]by their own hand;
And My people (AZ)love it so!
But what will you do at the end of it?
