10 “这些人不知道怎样行正直的事,只管在他们的堡垒中积聚暴行和欺压。”这是耶和华的宣告。

11 因此,主耶和华这样说:

“敌人必围攻这地,

使你们的势力倾覆,

抢掠你们的堡垒。”

12 耶和华这样说:

“牧人从狮子口中,

只能夺回一双羊腿和一角耳朵;

住在撒玛利亚的以色列人获救也是这样,

他们只剩下一角床榻,半边褥子(“他们只剩下一角床榻,半边褥子”,这句原文意义不详,或译:“他们躺卧在华丽的床上,睡在铺上绣花毯子的榻上”)。

10 For they know not to do right, saith the Lord, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

12 Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.

10 For they (A)do not know to do right,’
Says the Lord,
‘Who store up violence and [a]robbery in their palaces.’ ”

11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“An adversary shall be all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”

12 Thus says the Lord:

“As a shepherd [b]takes from the mouth of a lion
Two legs or a piece of an ear,
So shall the children of Israel be taken out
Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and [c]on the edge of a couch!
