⁷他们践踏穷人的头，好像践踏地面的尘土；他们把困苦人应有的权益夺去；儿子和父亲与同一个女子亲近，故意亵渎我的圣名。

⁷They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;

⁸他们在各祭坛旁，躺卧在别人抵押的衣服上面；在他们　神的殿中，饮用拿剥削回来的钱所买的酒。

⁹我不是在他们面前把亚摩利人消灭了吗？亚摩利人虽像香柏树高大，像橡树那样坚固；我却要灭绝它树上的果子，拔除树下的根。

⁹Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

¹⁰我不是带你们出埃及地，领你们在旷野度过四十年，叫你们得着亚摩利人的地为业吗？

¹⁵neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won’t escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

¹⁶and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says Yahweh.
