I also gave them decrees which were not good and regulations by which they could not live.

我也任他们遵行不美的律例，谨守不能使人活着的恶规。

我也任他们遵行那无益的律例，随从那不能使人存活的规条。

我也任他们遵行那无益的律例，随从那不能使人存活的规条。

所以，我任由他们效法无用的律例，遵守无法使人活着的规条，

因此，我也把不好的律例和不能借以存活的典章赐给他们；

我也任他們遵行不美的律例，謹守不能使人活着的惡規。

我也任他們遵行那無益的律例，隨從那不能使人存活的規條。

我也任他們遵行那無益的律例，隨從那不能使人存活的規條。

所以，我任由他們效法無用的律例，遵守無法使人活著的規條，

因此，我也把不好的律例和不能藉以存活的典章賜給他們；

因此我也索性給他們不好的律例，給他們不能使人活着的典章；

故我聽其從不善之典章、不能保生之律例、

彼從不善之例、失保生之法、我聽其然、

緣此、我聽其從不善之律例、守不能用以保生之法度、

So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live;

So I let them follow other rules. Those other rules were not good. I let them have laws they could not live by.

Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life,

I gave them over to worthless decrees and regulations that would not lead to life.

I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances they could not live by.

I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances by which they could not live;

“ Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live;

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances wherein they should not live;

I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances they could not live by.

Wherefore I gave them also statutes[ that were] not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live.

I gave them over to their stubborn desires; they did what seemed right to them.

“‘ As for you, O house of Israel, this is what the sovereign LORD says: Each of you go and serve your idols, if you will not listen to me. But my holy name will not be profaned again by your sacrifices and your idols.

So I will choose severe punishment for them; I will bring on them what they dread, because I called, and no one responded, I spoke and they did not listen. They did evil before me; they chose to do what displeases me.”

The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders,and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false.

The LORD will force you and your king whom you will appoint over you to go away to a people whom you and your ancestors have not known, and you will serve other gods of wood and stone there.

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise, they became foolsand exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four- footed animals or reptiles.Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

“‘ As for the prophet, if he is made a fool by being deceived into speaking a prophetic word– I, the LORD, have made a fool of that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from among my people Israel.They will bear their punishment; the punishment of the one who sought an oracle will be the same as the punishment of the prophet who gave itso that the house of Israel will no longer go astray from me, nor continue to defile themselves by all their sins. They will be my people and I will be their God, declares the sovereign LORD.’”

I declared them to be defiled because of their sacrifices– they caused all their first born to pass through the fire– so that I would devastate them, so that they will know that I am the LORD.’

Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples and there will be very few of you among the nations where the LORD will drive you.There you will worship gods made by human hands– wood and stone that can neither see, hear, eat, nor smell.
