你們向慕着多，你看，卻得的少；你們收到家裏，我給吹去。為甚麼？萬軍之永恆主發神諭說：因為我的殿荒廢，而你們各人卻逕為自己的房屋奔跑啊。

你们盼望多得，所得的却少；你们收到家中，我就吹去。这是为什么呢？因为我的殿荒凉，你们各人却顾自己的房屋。这是万军之耶和华说的。

你们盼望丰收，结果收的很少；你们把收成带回家，我却把它们吹走。这是什么缘故？万军之耶和华告诉你们，‘因为你们都忙于建自家的房子，任由我的殿一片废墟。

爾望多而得少、攜之而歸、我則噓之、萬軍之耶和華曰、此何故耶、因我室荒涼、爾各亟於己室也、

昔爾慕多得少、攜物至家、我吹之飄沒者、誠何故耶、因爾各顧其廬、而我殿宇傾圮、毫不介意、萬有之主耶和華已言之矣。

爾望多得少、攜物於家、我吹之去、誠何故耶、萬有之主曰、因我殿荒蕪、爾曹各顧顧原文作奔其家、

“ You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty.“ Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house.

“ You expected a lot. But you can see what a small amount it turned out to be. I blew away what you brought home. I’ll tell you why,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ Because my temple is still destroyed. In spite of that, each one of you is busy with your own house.

You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.

You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses.

“ You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why?” This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.“ Because my house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.

“ You start an ambitious project, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” declares the Lord of armies.“ It is because of My house which remains desolate, while each of you runs to his own house.

“ You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts.“ Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house.

『這殿荒廢無鑲蓋，而你們自己倒住在有鑲蓋的房屋：難道這就是這樣作的時候麼？

永恆主的氣一吹在上頭，草就枯乾，花就凋殘；啊，人真是草。

你們撒種，倒撒的多，收入的卻少；你們喫，卻喫不飽；喝，卻喝不足；有得穿，卻穿不暖；得了工錢，卻把工錢裝到刺破的口袋裏！

我思想着古時日子，想念到往古年代。我夜間捫心沉思；默默思想，心裏反覆探問：『難道主要永遠屏棄，絕不再喜悅我？難道他的堅愛就永久止息，他的忠信就代代絕止？難道上帝就忘了施恩惠，或閉塞住他慈悲的心麼？』（細拉）我便說：『這是我的弱點：以為至高者的右手權能改變了！』

凡我所愛的、我就指責管教；所以你要發熱心，要悔改。

永恆主的叱責一發，他鼻孔的氣息一呼出，海底就出現，大地的根基也現露。

永恆主對約書亞說：『起來；你為甚麼這樣將臉伏地呢？以色列人犯了罪，不但越犯了我的約、我所吩咐他們守的約，反而取了該被毁滅歸神之物；又偷竊，又欺詐，私放在自己的物件裏。因此以色列人在他們仇敵面前立不住，在仇敵面前轉背逃跑，因為他們成了該被毁滅歸神的。你們若不把該被毁滅歸神之物從你們中間消滅掉，我就不再和你們同在了。你起來，叫人民潔淨自己為聖，對他們說：「你們要潔淨自己為聖，以備明天；因為永恆主以色列的上帝這麼說：以色列啊，你們中間有該被毁滅歸神之物；非等到你們使該被毁滅歸神之物離開你們中間，你們在仇敵面前、就立不住。到了早晨，你們要按着族派走近前來；永恆主所拈着的族派、要按着宗族走近前來；永恆主所拈着的宗族、要按着家室走近前來；永恆主所拈着的家室、要按着人丁一個一個走近前來。被拈着的人、有該被毁滅歸神之物的、他和他一切所有的、都必須被火燒，因為他越犯了永恆主的約，因為他在以色列中行了醜事。」

看吧！我必使他靈機一動，就聽見風聲，而回他本地去；我必使他在他本地那裏倒在刀下。」』

當大衛在位的日子鬧饑荒，一年過一年、共三年；大衛就尋求朝見永恆主。永恆主說：『掃羅和他的家有殺人流血的罪，因為他殺死了基遍人。』

故此你們中間有許多軟弱的、患病的；長眠了的也有好些。但我們如果常察辨自己，就不至於受審判了。然而若受主審判，乃是受主懲罰管教，免得跟世人一同受定罪。

但我有一件要責備你的，就是你已經撇棄了你先前的愛心。

因為你忘了拯救你的上帝，你不懷念那做你逃難所的磐石；所以你雖栽上佳美可愛的樹栽子，種上異樣的樹種，你雖在栽的日子設法使它長大，在種的晨光培養它開花，但在憂患的日子、無法醫治的傷痛之時、所收割的都飛走了。

人怎可搶奪上帝之物呢？你們呢、竟搶奪了獻與我之物！卻還問說：「我們在甚麼事上搶奪了獻與你之物呢？」那就是當納的十分之一和當奉的獻物啊。你們被咒詛所咒詛，是因為你們、你們全國的人、搶奪的乃是我！你們將當納的十分之一全部送入倉庫，使我殿中有糧吧！並這樣試試我、萬軍之永恆主說，看我會不會給你們敞開天閘，將祝福給你們傾倒下來，直到有餘無缺。萬軍之永恆主說：我必為你們叱責吞喫者蝗蟲，不容牠損壞你們土地的果實；你們田間的葡萄樹未熟之先也不掉果子。

你們若不聽，若不放在心上、不將榮耀歸與我的名，萬軍之永恆主說，我就降咒詛於你們中間；我必咒詛你們的福分；事實上、因你們不放在心上，我已經給以咒詛了。

愛父親或母親過於愛我的，配不起我；愛兒子或女兒過於愛我的，配不起我；不拿着自己的十字架來跟從我的，也配不起我。

你們怎麼樣？那時有人到二十斗穀堆的田地，只得了十斗；有人到酒池旁，想舀到五十窟，只舀到二十窟。那時我用旱風和霉爛擊打你們，又用冰雹擊打你們手下的各樣農作物，你們仍然不歸向我：永恆主發神諭說。

對上帝說：不要定我為惡；要指示我、你為甚麼竟和我爭辯。
