- 先知說、不然、主要藉異邦人的嘴唇、和外邦人的舌頭、對這百姓說話.
- 他曾對他們說、你們要使疲乏人得安息.這樣纔得安息、纔得舒暢.他們卻不肯聽。
- 所以耶和華向他們說的話、是命上加命、令上加令、律上加律、例上加例、這裡一點、那裡一點、以致他們前行仰面跌倒、而且跌碎、並陷入網羅、被纏住。
- 所以你們這些褻慢的人、就是轄管住在耶路撒冷這百姓的、要聽耶和華的話。
- 你們曾說、我們與死亡立約、與陰間結盟.敵軍〔原文作鞭子〕如水漲漫經過的時候、必不臨到我們.因我們以謊言為避所、在虛假以下藏身.

- Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people,
- to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose"-- but they would not listen.
- So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there-- so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.
- Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
- You boast, "We have entered into a covenant with death, with the grave we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place."
