耶和华击打以色列，岂像击打那些击打他们的人吗？以色列被杀戮，岂像其他人所遭遇的杀戮吗？

耶和華擊打以色列人，豈像擊打那些擊打他們的呢？主殺戮以色列人，豈像殺戮那些殺戮他們的呢？

主擊打以色列、哪裏像他擊打那些擊打以色列的呢？以色列被殺戮、哪裏像那些殺戮他們的之被殺戮呢？

耶和華擊之、豈若擊彼擊之者乎、其見殺也、豈若殺之者之見殺乎、

雅各之家、雖遭譴責、不若敵之譴責尤深、雖被殺戮、不若敵之殺戮更慘、

雅各被主譴責、豈如其敵被主譴責、雖遇殺戮、豈如其敵所遇之殺戮、

Has the Lord struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her?

The Lord struck down those who struck down Israel. But he hasn’t punished Israel as much. The Lord killed those who killed many of his people. But he hasn’t punished his people as much.

Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain?

Has the Lord struck Israel as he struck her enemies? Has he punished her as he punished them?

Did the LORD strike Israel as he struck the one who struck Israel? Was Israel killed like those killed by the LORD?

Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him? Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?

Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them?

Did the Lord strike Israel as He struck the one who struck Israel? Was he killed like those killed by Him?

Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him?[ or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

Has the LORD struck down Israel like he did their oppressors? Has Israel been killed like their enemies?

Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?

於是耶和華的使者出去，在亞述的營中擊殺了十八萬五千人；清早人們起來，看哪，所見的都是死屍！亞述王西納基立就拔營回去，住在尼尼微。有一天，西納基立在自己的神尼斯洛的廟裡下拜，他的兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他，然後逃到亞拉臘地。他的兒子以撒哈頓接替他作王。

「我必起來攻擊他們！」萬軍之耶和華如此宣告。「我必把巴比倫的名號、餘剩者、子孫後代都剪除！」耶和華如此宣告。「我必使巴比倫成為豪豬的占居之地，使它成為泥水沼澤；我必用毀滅的掃帚將它掃淨！」萬軍之耶和華如此宣告。

看哪，傍晚時分必有恐怖的事，未到早晨他們就不復存在了！這就是搶掠我們之人的份，是掠奪我們之人的命運。

「王啊，你正在觀看，看哪，有一座巨大的像！這像極大，非常光耀，立在你前面，它的樣貌令人恐懼。這像的頭是純金的，它的胸膛和膀臂是銀的，它的腹部和大腿是銅的，它的小腿是鐵的，它的腳有部分是鐵的，有部分是泥的。你繼續觀看，有一塊非人手鑿出的石頭，砸在這像的鐵和泥的腳上，把腳砸碎了。這樣，鐵、泥、銅、銀、金都一同被砸得粉碎了，就像夏天打穀場上的糠秕，被風吹散，無蹤跡可尋；但砸這像的石頭卻變成一座大山，充滿全地。

到那日，以色列的餘剩者和雅各家的幸存者，必不再依賴那擊打他們的，卻要真誠地依賴耶和華——以色列的聖者。餘剩者將回歸，雅各的餘剩者將歸向全能的神。以色列啊，雖然你的子民多如海邊的沙粒，卻只有其中的餘剩者將回歸。滅絕已經註定，公義必如水漫溢，主萬軍之耶和華必在全地中施行所註定的滅絕。因此，主萬軍之耶和華如此說：「住在錫安的我的子民哪，亞述人雖然像埃及人用棍擊打你們、舉杖對付你們，你們卻不要怕他們。因為再過短短的一會兒，我對你們的憤怒就要終結，我的怒氣要轉向他們，使他們滅亡。」

堡壘必從以法蓮消亡，國權必從大馬士革消亡；亞蘭的餘剩者必像以色列子孫的榮耀那樣消亡。」這是萬軍之耶和華的宣告。
