¹欺壓人的有禍了那些在床上圖謀不義，並且行惡的人有禍了！因為他們的手有力量，天一亮，就作出來了。

¹Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

²他們要田地，就去搶奪；想要房屋，就去強取。他們欺壓人和他的家眷，取人和人的產業。

²And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

³因此耶和華這樣說：看哪！我策劃災禍攻擊這家族，你們無法縮起頸項避開這災禍。你們不能昂首而行（“昂首而行”或譯：“高視闊步”）；因為這是個災難的時代。

³Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

⁴到那日，必有人作歌諷刺你們，唱悲傷的哀歌，說：“我們徹底被毀滅了，我子民分內的產業，他竟轉給別人了；他怎可從我這裡挪去，把我們的田地分給擄掠我們的人（“分給擄掠我們的人”或譯：“分給背道的人”）！”

⁴In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove [it] from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields.

⁵因此你在耶和華的會眾中，必沒有抽籤拉準繩的人了。

⁵Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.

⁶攻擊先知的話有人預言說：“你們不要說預言；人不可預言這些事；羞恥不會臨到我們。”

⁶Prophesy ye not, [thus] they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.

⁷雅各家啊！人怎可說：“耶和華的心著急，不能忍耐呢？這些是他的作為嗎？”我耶和華的話對行事正直的人不是有益的嗎？

⁷Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

⁸你們卻像仇敵一樣，起來攻擊我的子民（“你們卻像仇敵一樣，起來攻擊我的子民”或譯：“然而，我的子民竟興起來像仇敵一樣”）；你們竟從安詳過路的人身上剝去衣服，從不願作戰的人身上剝去外衣。

⁸But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely [as men] averse from war.

⁹你們把我民中的婦女趕逐，離開歡樂的家園；你們把我的尊榮，從她們的嬰孩身上奪去，直到永遠。

⁹The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.

¹⁰起來，走吧！這不是你們安息之地；你們因為不潔淨的緣故，必被毀滅，是不可挽救的毀滅。

¹⁰Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.

¹¹若有人隨從虛假的心，撒謊說：“我要向你們說清酒和烈酒的預言。”那人就是這民的預言家了。

¹¹If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

¹²復興雅各家的應許雅各家啊！我必召集你們所有的人，聚集以色列的餘民；我要把他們安置在一起，像羊在羊圈裡，像群羊遠離了人，在草場上喧嘩。

¹²I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.

¹³開路的人領先上去；他們開路，闖門進入，又從門裡出來；他們的王在他們面前走過，耶和華領導他們。

¹³The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
