People will wander from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean. They will travel from north to east. They will look for a message from me. But they will not find it.

他们必飘流，从这海到那海，从北边到东边，往来奔跑，寻求耶和华的话，却寻不着。

人必流離飄蕩、從這海到那海，從北邊到東邊，跑來跑去、尋求永恆主的話，卻尋不着。

人必踉蹌而行、自此海至彼海、自北至東、疾趨往來、尋耶和華之言而不得、

人必遨遊、自湖至海、自北至東、求我耶和華之道、而不能得、

人必遊行、自此海至彼海、自北至東、往來奔走、尋求主之言而不能得、

People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.

They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it.

At that time someone may say to you,‘ Look! Here is the Messiah!’ Or,‘ There he is!’ Do not believe it.False messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will do great signs and miracles. They will try to fool God’s chosen people if possible.See, I have told you ahead of time.“ So if anyone tells you,‘ He is a long way out in the desert,’ do not go out there. Or if anyone says,‘ He is deep inside the house,’ do not believe it.

They are the kind who trick their way into the homes of some women. These women are ready to believe anything. And they take control over these women. These women are loaded down with sins. They give in to all kinds of evil desires.They are always learning. But they are never able to come to know the truth.

What should we say then? The people of Israel did not receive what they wanted so badly. Those Israelites who were chosen did receive it. But the rest of the people were made stubborn.It is written,“ God made it hard for them to understand. He gave them eyes that could not see. He gave them ears that could not hear. And they are still like that today.”( Deuteronomy 29:4; Isaiah 29:10)David says,“ Let their feast be a trap and a snare. Let them trip and fall. Let them get what’s coming to them.Let their eyes grow dark so they can’t see. Let their backs be bent forever.”( Psalm 69:22, 23)

The people of Israel tried to obey the law to make themselves right with God. But they didn’t reach their goal of being right with God.Why not? Because they tried to do it without faith. They tried to be right with God by what they did. They tripped over the stone that causes people to trip and fall.It is written,“ Look! In Zion I am laying a stone that causes people to trip. It is a rock that makes them fall. The one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 8:14; 28:16)

Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it. But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right.

“ Anyone who is not with me is against me. Anyone who does not gather sheep with me scatters them.

At that time Jesus said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children.Yes, Father. This is what you wanted to do.“ My Father has given all things to me. The Father is the only one who knows the Son. And the only ones who know the Father are the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to make him known.

But I want you to roll up this scroll, Daniel. Seal it until the time of the end. Many people will go here and there to increase their knowledge.”

You make yourselves‘ unclean’ by offering sacrifices to other gods. You even sacrifice your children in the fire. You continue to do these things to this day. People of Israel, should I let you ask me for advice? I will not let you do that,” announces the Lord and King.“ And that is just as sure as I am alive.

“ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel. Tell them,‘ The Lord and King says,“ Have you come to ask me for advice? I will not let you do that,” announces the Lord and King.“ And that is just as sure as I am alive.” ’
