- "I have cut off nations; Their corner towers are in ruins. I have made their streets desolate, With no one passing by; Their cities are laid waste, Without a man, without an inhabitant.
- "I said, 'Surely you will revere Me, Accept instruction ' So her dwelling will not be cut off According to all that I have appointed concerning her But they were eager to corrupt all their deeds.
- "Therefore wait for Me," declares the LORD, "For the day when I rise up as a witness Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal.
- "For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, That all of them may call on the name of the LORD, To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
- "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My dispersed ones, Will bring My offerings.

- 我耶和华已经除灭列国的民。他们的城楼毁坏。我使他们的街道荒凉,以致无人经过。他们的城邑毁灭,以致无人,也无居民。
- 我说,你只要敬畏我,领受训诲。如此,你的住处,不致照我所拟定的除灭。只是你们从早起来,就在一切事上败坏自己。
- 耶和华说,你们要等候我,直到我兴起掳掠的日子,因为我已定意招聚列国,聚集列邦,将我的恼怒,就是我的烈怒,都倾在她们身上。我的忿怒如火,必烧灭全地。
- 那时,我必使万民用清洁的言语,好求告我耶和华的名,同心合意地事奉我。
- 祈祷我的,就是我所分散的民(原文作女子下同),必从古实河外来,给我献供物。
