“ Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,“‘ Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?’

“ Won’t those people laugh at the Babylonians? Won’t they make fun of them? They will say to them,“‘ How terrible it will be for you who pile up stolen goods! You get rich by cheating others. How long will this go on?’

Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,“ Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own— for how long?— and loads himself with pledges!”

万物的结局临近了，所以你们为了祷告的缘故应当清醒、谨慎。

你必对巴比伦王唱这首讽刺歌：“压迫人的怎么止息了呢？凶暴怎么止息了呢？耶和华打断了恶人的杖和管辖者的权杖——它们曾在盛怒中以不停的猛击来击打万民；在怒气中以无情的逼迫来辖制列国。现在全地都安息、平静了，人人都放声欢呼；连松树和黎巴嫩的香柏树也因你倒下而欢喜，说：‘自从你倒下后，再没有伐木之人上来砍伐我们了！’“地下的阴间骚动起来迎接你的到来，并为你唤醒阴魂，就是所有生前在地上作过领袖的阴魂；又使所有生前作过列国君王的都从自己宝座上起来。他们都必回应你，说：‘你竟然像我们一样变得软弱无能，与我们相似了！’你的威势和你琴瑟的乐声也被丢下阴间，你下面铺的是蛆，上面盖的是虫。“明亮的晨星，黎明之子啊，你怎么会从天坠落呢？你这击败列国的，怎么会被砍倒在地呢？你心里曾说：‘我要升到天上，我要高举我的宝座在神的众星之上，我要坐在北方极处的聚会山上，我要升到云端之上，我要使自己与至高者相比。’然而你必被丢下阴间，下到阴坑的极处！“那些看见你的都必注视你，他们要审视你，说：‘那使大地颤抖，使列国震动的，难道就是这人吗？那使世界如同荒野，倾覆其城镇，又不释放囚犯回家的，难道就是这人吗？’所有生前作过列国君王的，都在各自的墓穴里长眠于尊荣中，而你却被抛出坟墓，如同一根被憎恶的枝子；你被那些遭刀剑刺透杀死、落入石坑的人所覆盖，如同一具被践踏的尸体。

耶和华啊，恶人要到什么时候——恶人欢跃要到什么时候呢？

现在来吧，你们这些富有的人哪！应当为那些将要临到你们的惨祸而痛哭、哀号！你们的财富腐烂了；你们的衣服被虫蛀了；你们的金银也生锈了，这锈将成为控告你们的见证，又要像火那样吃你们的肉。在这末后的日子里，你们竟然积蓄财富！看哪！工人收割你们的田地，你们所克扣他们的工钱正在呼叫，收割者的冤声也已经达到万军之主的耳中了。

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！

他们追求的只是灰烬；他们的心受了迷惑，使他们偏离正道；他们不能救自己，也不会说：“我右手中的，难道不是虚谎之物吗？”

欺压贫弱者使自己富有的，送礼给富人的，都必缺乏。

“可是神对他说：‘你这愚妄的人哪！今夜，他们就要召回你的灵魂了。那么，你所预备的要归谁呢？’

弟兄们，我要说这一点：时候不多了！从此有妻子的，要像没有妻子的；哭泣的，要像没有哭泣的；快乐的，要像没有快乐的；买了东西的，要像没有什么的；利用世界的，要像没有充分利用世界的；因为这世界的形态正在消逝。
