我已經很久緘默不言，閉口不語，但現在我要像待產的婦人一樣呼喊，我要急速地喘氣。

“我许久闭口不言，静默不语；现在我要喊叫，像产难的妇人；我要急气而喘哮。

我许久闭口不言，沉默不语；现在我要像临产的妇人，大声喊叫，呼吸急促而喘气。

我许久闭口不言，沉默不语；现在我要像临产的妇人，大声喊叫，呼吸急促而喘气。

“我已沉默多时，我克制不语，现在我要发出急促的呐喊，像分娩的妇人。

我已经很久缄默不言，闭口不语，但现在我要像待产的妇人一样呼喊，我要急速地喘气。

“我静默不言，沉默克制，已经很久了；但现在我要大喊，像临产的妇人那样急促呼吸、喘气。

我許久閉口不言，靜默不語；現在我要喊叫，像產難的婦人；我要急氣而喘哮。

我許久閉口不言，沉默不語；現在我要像臨產的婦人，大聲喊叫，呼吸急促而喘氣。

我許久閉口不言，沉默不語；現在我要像臨產的婦人，大聲喊叫，呼吸急促而喘氣。

「我已沉默多時，我克制不語，現在我要發出急促的呐喊，像分娩的婦人。

許久我都緘默靜寂，自己忍住，現在我卻要號呼、像臨產的婦人，一直噓噓喘氣。

「我靜默不言，沉默克制，已經很久了；但現在我要大喊，像臨產的婦女那樣急促呼吸、喘氣。

耶和華曰、我久緘默、寂然自抑、今則號呼、如臨產之婦、氣急而喘、

耶和華曰、前此緘默、自抑我志、今則號呼、如臨產之婦、奮然吐氣、呼吸甚烈、

我靜寂緘默、隱忍已久、今將呼號、如臨產之婦、奮然吐氣、呼吸甚烈、

“ For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant.

The Lord says,“ For a long time I have kept silent. I have been calm and quiet. But now, like a woman having a baby, I cry out. I gasp and pant.

For a long time I have held my peace; I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.

He will say,“ I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant.

“ I have kept silent from ages past; I have been quiet and restrained myself. But now, I will groan like a woman in labor, gasping breathlessly.

“ I have kept silent for a long time, I have kept still and restrained Myself. Now like a woman in labor I will groan, I will both gasp and pant.

“ I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once.

I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.

“ I have kept silent from ages past; I have been quiet and restrained Myself. But now, I will groan like a woman in labor, gasping breathlessly.

I have long time holden my peace; I have been still,[ and] refrained myself:[ now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

“ I have been inactive for a long time; I kept quiet and held back. Like a woman in labor I groan; I pant and gasp.

“ I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.

耶和華再不能容忍你們邪惡的行為，和你們所行可憎的事；故此，你們的土地荒涼，成了令人驚駭、被人咒詛的對象，沒有人居住，好像今天一樣。

對惡行已判定的刑罰遲遲沒有執行，世人的心就充滿行惡的意圖。罪人既然作惡百次，還享長壽，那麼我知道敬畏神的人，就是在他面前存敬畏的心的，必享福樂。

主決不耽延他的應許，像有些人以為他是耽延的一樣；其實他是寬容你們，不願有一人滅亡，卻願人人都悔改。但主的日子必要像賊一樣來到。在那日，天必轟然一聲地消失，所有元素都因烈火而融化；地和地上所有的，都要被燒毀（“被燒毀”有不少古抄本作“被發現”）。

並且要以我們的主恆久忍耐為給人得救的機會，就如我們所親愛的弟兄保羅，按照所賜給他的智慧，寫給你們的一樣；

神從全美的錫安，已經彰顯榮光。

你離棄了我，你轉身背著我；因此我要伸手攻擊你，毀滅你，我不會再回心轉意。”這是耶和華的宣告。

神啊！求你不要靜默；神啊！求你不要閉口，也不要一言不發。看哪！你的仇敵喧嘩，恨你的人都抬起頭來。

我要說話，使我可以舒暢，我要開口回答。

因為我充滿了要說的話，我裡面的靈催逼我說出來。

難道神不會為晝夜呼籲他的選民伸冤嗎？難道神會耽誤他們嗎？
