牧人都是頑梗的，他們不求問耶和華；因此，他們不得亨通，他們所有的羊群都四散。

因為牧民者竟成了畜類，連永恆主、他們也沒有求問；因此他們不得亨通，他們的羊羣都四散。

民牧冥頑、未尋求耶和華、故作事不智、其羣四散、

因牧者蒙昧、不尋求主、故不能亨通、其群四散、

The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the Lord; so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.

The leaders of my people are like shepherds who don’t have any sense. They don’t ask the Lord for advice. That’s why they don’t succeed. And that’s why their whole flock is scattered like sheep.

For the shepherds are stupid and do not inquire of the Lord; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.

The shepherds of my people have lost their senses. They no longer seek wisdom from the Lord. Therefore, they fail completely, and their flocks are scattered.

For the shepherds are stupid: They don’t seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and their whole flock is scattered.

For the shepherds have become stupid And have not sought the Lord. Therefore they have not prospered, And all their flock is scattered.

For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the Lord; Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered.

For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

For the shepherds are stupid: they don’t seek the Lord. Therefore they have not prospered, and their whole flock is scattered.

For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

For our leaders are stupid. They have not sought the LORD’s advice. So they do not act wisely, and the people they are responsible for have all been scattered.

For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.

人子、當傳我命、責以色列族之牧者曰、主耶和華云、以色列族之牧者、自顧其身、不牧群羊、禍必不遠矣。爾以羊酪為飲、羊毛為衣、羊既肥腯、宰而烹之、其餘置之弗顧、弱者不扶持之、疾者不醫痊之、傷者不裹其痕、驅至遠方者、不復招集、迷於歧路者、不復追尋、乃待之以強暴、處之以殘忍、牧者不加眷顧、故羊星散、為野獸所吞噬。我羊迷於山岡、行於高巒、散於遍境、覓之者迄無一人、故爾眾牧者、宜聽耶和華之言、我耶和華指己而誓、因牧者自顧其身、不牧群羊、若無牧然、羊既喪、不知追尋、使羊為人所攘奪、為獸所吞噬。故我耶和華告諸牧者、我必加爾以扑責、索取爾羊、爾名為牧羊、實則自顧其身而已、我必褫爾之職、救羊於爾口、不復遭爾吞噬、

殘賊眾多、毀我園囿、蹂躪我業、使我良田、變為曠野。

耶和華曰、民牧害我群羊、驅之離散、禍必不遠。以色列族之上帝耶和華告牧民者曰、爾曹驅逐我羊、不加眷顧、我必視爾所為、而降譴責。

傭非羊牧、羊非傭羊、傭見狼至、棄羊而逃、狼獲羊而群散矣、傭逃者、以其為傭、不顧羊耳、

崇拜偶像、愚蠢孰甚、欲知其妄、以木為證。

民之戍卒、目眯不明、守夜之犬、喑不能吠、或偃卧、或假寐。彼甚饕餮、不知饜足、譬彼愚蠢之牧人、無一不縱己欲、不顧私利。彼曰、盍來取酒、縱飲醇醪、明日必多於今日。

偽先知同謀、若獅狂吼、斷傷人、吞噬人、得其珍寶、使邑中嫠婦不可勝數、祭司干犯律例、玩瀆聖物、聖與不聖、潔與不潔、不為剖別、我之安息日、不復恪守、棄我於民中、邑中之牧伯若狼、行其殘害、肆其吞噬、以獲不義之利。先知所見者、虛偽之異象、所占者無憑之卜筮、自謂傳耶和華之命、然我未嘗示之、若作垣墉、以不堅緻之泥塗之、斯土之民、虐遇人、強暴人、挾制貧乏、侮慢羈旅、我稽察之、欲得一人、可補藩籬、可塞垣隙、立於我前、代民祈求、免我殲滅、亦不可得。

耶利米以眾先知行惡、中心憂傷、筋骸震動、又得耶和華聖言傳示、有若醉人、迷眩於酒。四境之內、靡不行淫、厥口詛咒、其國有愁慘之象、斯人也、作不善、行非義、郊原牧場、盡成槁壤。耶和華曰、先知祭司、所行誕妄、在我殿宇、惡跡已彰、故其途幽暗、滑而難行、我驅逐之、使顛蹶趾、屆期降災。撒馬利亞之先知、託巴力之名振振有詞、欲使我民以色列族舛錯、維我洞見其愚。耶路撒冷之先知、更堪痛疾、行淫詭譎、俾作惡者流、厥志孔強、不悛厥行、予鑒察之、視若所多馬蛾摩拉之人無異。萬有之主耶和華曰耶路撒冷先知、導民行惡、殆遍斯土、我使之茹茶飲酖、萬有之主耶和華曰、惟彼先知、擅自而言、不傳我命、彼乃欺爾、爾勿聽從。有人藐視予、彼託我命、言必獲平康、有人縱私欲、彼言必不遇害。其中何人與我神契、諦聽我言、惟我震怒、使風驟起、飄搖震撼、罰彼惡徒、我志未成、則怒不息、時至自知、惟彼先知、我未遣之、而自趨、我未命之、而自言。如彼與我神相契合、則必播傳我命、使民改其惡行、革其邪心。耶和華又曰、我為上帝、無間遐邇。人能退藏於密、使我不見乎、我豈不能充乎天地哉。惟彼先知、佯托我名、自言得夢者再、我聞其語。彼偽先知、從心所欲、普傳誕妄、伊於胡底。彼也互述所夢、使民忘予、若厥祖忘我、崇奉巴力、耶和華又曰、如先知有夢、則直曰出之夢、如我有命、則直曰我之命、維糠與麥。何能比儗。如我出命、必若火炎炎、若鎚摧石。耶和華又曰、凡先知竊我言者、我必攻之。又曰、凡先知自述其言、偽托我名者、我必罰之。又曰、凡先知未奉我命、託言有夢、傳之於人、以厥妄誕、使民舛謬、有損於眾者、我必降罰。

萬有之主耶和華曰、惟爾鋒刃、勃然而興、擊我牧者、伐我同儔、牧者擊矣、群羊散矣、式微之子、我將加以眷顧、

我怒牧者、罰其牡山羊、我萬有之主耶和華、垂顧群畜、即猶大家、使若驊騮、預備以戰、

譬彼牧者、見羊四散、則追之不已、我必追我羊、羊值晦冥之際、散於四方、我必加拯救、

惟彼偶像、崇之者愚蠢、鑄之者蒙羞、偶像偽物。內無生氣。

以色列族若亡羊、為獅所驅、初為亞述王吞噬、後為巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒折骨。

其駱駝群畜、爾可得之、薙鬚之四周者、我必散之於四方、使之遍罹禍患。

智者迷惑愧恥、不勝憂疑、棄耶和華之道、鳥得為智。

先知傳虛詞、祭司隨聲附和、國民以此為悅、將若之何。
