众民所劳碌得来的被火焚烧，列国由劳乏而得的归于虚空，不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？

看哪，这不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？万民劳碌得来的被火焚烧，万族辛苦建造的，归于虚空。

看哪，这不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？万民劳碌得来的被火焚烧，万族辛苦建造的，归于虚空。

列邦的财富都化为灰烬，列国劳碌却是一场空。这不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？

众民劳碌得来的，被火焚烧；列国辛劳而得的，终归无有。这不都出于万军之耶和华吗？

眾民所勞碌得來的被火焚燒，列國由勞乏而得的歸於虛空，不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？

看哪，這不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？萬民勞碌得來的被火焚燒，萬族辛苦建造的，歸於虛空。

看哪，這不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？萬民勞碌得來的被火焚燒，萬族辛苦建造的，歸於虛空。

列邦的財富都化為灰燼，列國勞碌卻是一場空。這不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？

眾民勞碌得來的，被火焚燒；列國辛勞而得的，終歸無有。這不都出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？

看哪，萬族之民只為了給火焚燒而勞碌，列國之民只為了虛空而疲乏，不都是出於萬軍之永恆主麼？

諸民勞力乃為火、列邦辛苦歸於虛、此非由於萬軍之耶和華乎、

爾使列邦之民、屬役良苦、竭力築城、萬有之主耶和華、必使之焚燬殆盡、歸於烏有、

眾民辛苦經營、悉為火所焚、萬族劬勞疲憊、俱屬徒然、皆萬有之主所命、

Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?

I am the Lord who rules over all. Human effort is no better than wood that feeds a fire. So the nations wear themselves out for nothing.

Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts that peoples labor merely for fire, and nations weary themselves for nothing?

Has not the Lord of Heaven’s Armies promised that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes? They work so hard, but all in vain!

Is it not from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor only to fuel the fire and countries exhaust themselves for nothing?

Is it not indeed from the Lord of armies That peoples labor merely for fire, And nations become weary for nothing?

Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts That the peoples labor to feed the fire, And nations weary themselves in vain?

Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

Is it not from the Lord of Hosts that the peoples labor only to fuel the fire and countries exhaust themselves for nothing?

Behold,[ is it] not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

Be sure of this! The LORD who commands armies has decreed: The nations’ efforts will go up in smoke; their exhausting work will be for nothing.

Behold, isn’t it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

看哪！你们一切点火、用火把围绕自己的，就在你们火焰的光和你们所点的火把中走下去吧！你们必躺在痛苦之地——这就是从我手中临到你们的！

任何的智慧、聪慧和谋略，都无法在耶和华面前站立得住。

耶和华说：“看哪，他们是一族，又说一样的语言，而且一开始就做这样的事，此后他们决意做任何事，就没有做不成的！来吧！让我们下去，在那里把他们的语言变乱，使他们彼此听不懂对方的语言。”于是耶和华把他们从那里分散到整个地面上，他们就停止建造那城。因此那城名叫巴别，因为在那里耶和华变乱了全地人的语言，又从那里把他们分散到整个地面上。

如果不是耶和华建造房屋，建造的人就枉然劳苦；如果不是耶和华看守城池，看守的人就枉然警醒。你们早早起来，迟迟安歇，吃劳苦得来的饭，也是枉然；要知道，耶和华必使他所爱的人安睡。

尽管以东说：“我们虽遭毁坏，但我们要回去，重建废墟之处。”万军之耶和华却如此说：“他们就算重建了，我还要拆毁。人们必称呼以东为‘邪恶的地界’、‘耶和华永远恼怒之民’。”

你们为什么把钱花在非食物的东西上呢？为什么把自己的辛苦所得花在不能使人饱足的东西上呢？你们要留心听我的话，要吃美物，让自己的心灵得享肥甘！

众海岛看见就害怕，地极也战兢；它们都聚集前来。各人帮助邻舍，对自己的兄弟说：“要坚强！”匠人鼓励工匠，用锤子打平金属的鼓励用锤子打砧的，论到焊接的说：“焊得好！”他们又用钉子把偶像钉稳，使它不会摇动。可是你，以色列啊，我的仆人！雅各啊，我所拣选的，我朋友亚伯拉罕的后裔！

人们往来行走，只是幻像；他们喧闹，也是虚空；他们积蓄，却不知道谁会收取。
