1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; 2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. 3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders. 4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. 16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee. 17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. 18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; 20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates: 21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; 22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. 23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. 24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; 25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. 26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD. 27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

1 "犹大的罪是用铁笔铭记的， 是用金钢钻刻在他们的心版上， 和他们（"他们"有古抄本作"你们"）祭坛的角上。

2 他们的儿女也怀念着那些在各高冈上、在繁茂树旁的祭坛和亚舍拉。

3 我在田野的山哪！ 因你在四境之内所犯的罪， 我必把你的财产、一切宝物和你的邱坛， 给敌人作掠物。（本节或译： "因你在四境之内所犯的罪， 我必把我在田野的山、你的财产、一切宝物和你的邱坛， 给敌人作掠物。"）

4 因你自己的缘故， 我赐给你的产业， 你必失掉； 我必使你在你不认识的地方， 服事你的仇敌； 因为你们惹起我的怒火， 我的怒火必燃烧到永远。"

5 耶和华这样说： "倚靠世人， 恃凭肉体为自己的力量， 心里偏离耶和华的， 这人该受咒诅。

6 他必像沙漠中的灌木， 福乐来到， 他也必看不见， 却要住在旷野干旱之地、无人居住的咸地。

7 但倚靠耶和华， 以耶和华为他所信赖的， 这人是有福的。

8 他必像一棵树， 栽种在水边， 树根伸进河里； 炎热来到， 并不害怕， 树叶仍然繁茂； 在荒旱之年， 它不挂虑， 并且不断结果子。"

9 人心比万物都诡诈， 无法医治； 谁能识透呢？

10 "我耶和华是察透人心， 试验人肺腑的， 要照着各人的行为， 和各人所作的事应得的结果报应各人。"

11 使用不公正的方法发财的， 就像一只鹧鸪孵了不是自己所生的蛋； 到了中年， 那财富必离开他， 最后他必成为一个愚昧人。

12 我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座， 从起初就矗立在高处。

13 耶和华以色列的盼望啊！ 离弃你的， 都必蒙羞； 偏离你（"你"原文作"我"）的， 他们的名字必写在沙土上， 因为他们离弃了耶和华这活水的源头。

14 耶和华啊！ 求你医治我， 我就得医治； 求你拯救我， 我就得拯救； 因为你是我所赞美的。

15 看哪！ 他们常常对我说： "耶和华的话在哪里？使它应验（"应验"原文作"来"）吧！ "

16 至于我， 我没有急忙离弃那跟从你作牧人的职分（"我没有急忙离弃那跟从你作牧人的职分"有古译本作"我没有催逼你降灾祸"）， 也没有想望灾难的日子， 这是你知道的； 我嘴里所出的话都在你面前。

17 求你不要使我因你惊恐， 在灾祸的日子， 你是我的避难所。

18 愿那些迫害我的蒙羞， 却不要叫我蒙羞； 愿他们惊恐， 却不要使我惊恐； 求你使灾祸的日子临到他们， 加倍毁灭他们。

19 耶和华对我这样说： "你去站在犹大列王出入的城门（"城门"原文作"人民城门"）， 又站在耶路撒冷的各城门口，

20 对他们说： ‘耶路撒冷诸王、犹大众民和所有进入这些城门的犹大居民哪！ 你们要听他耶和华的话。

21 耶和华这样说： 为了自己的性命， 你们要谨慎， 不可在安息日挑担子， 不可挑进耶路撒冷的城门。

22 也不可在安息日从你们家里挑担子出来； 什么工都不可作， 却要守安息日为圣日， 正如我吩咐你们列祖的。

23 你们的列祖却没有听从， 毫不在意， 反而硬着颈项不肯听， 不受管教。’"

24 耶和华宣告说： "但如果你们真心听从我， 不在安息日挑担子进入这城的城门， 并且守安息日为圣日， 在那日不作任何工作；

25 这样， 就必有坐大卫王位的列王， 并有众领袖随着， 进入这城的城门； 列王和众领袖乘着车， 骑着马， 跟犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民一同进入这城。这城必永远有人居住。

26 必有人从犹大的各城和耶路撒冷周围的各处， 从便雅悯地、低地、山地和南地而来； 他们带着燔祭、平安祭、素祭、乳香和感恩祭到耶和华的殿里去。

27 但如果你们不听从我， 不守安息日为圣日， 仍在安息日挑担子， 进入耶路撒冷的城门； 这样， 我就必在耶路撒冷的各城门点起火来， 烧毁耶路撒冷的堡垒， 没有人能够扑灭。"
