免得我饱足了，就否认你，说：“耶和华是谁呢？”又免得我陷入穷困，就去偷窃，以致干犯了我神的名。

你们已经饱足了，已经富有了，没有我们，自己就做王了！我真希望你们真做王，好让我们也与你们一同做王！

恶人面带高傲，不寻求耶和华；他所有的心思中都没有神。

我知道你的行为，你既不冷也不热；我真希望你或冷或热。正因为你是温的，既不热也不冷，我就要把你从我口中吐出去，因为你说‘我是富有的；我发了财，什么都不缺’，却不知道你是可悲的、可怜的、贫穷的、瞎眼的、赤身的。

他们说：“我们要靠舌头强盛，我们的嘴唇是自己的，谁是我们的主呢？”

你们受严厉的诅咒，是因为你们在抢夺我，你们全国的人都在抢夺我。”万军之耶和华说：“你们要把当纳的十分之一全都带进库房，好使我的家中有粮食；藉此试验我是否会为你们打开天上的窗户，把祝福倾倒在你们身上，直到你们充足满溢。”万军之耶和华说：“我必为你们斥责吞噬者，使它不毁掉你们土地的出产，也不使你们田地中的葡萄树掉落果实。

我没有在隐秘处、没有在黑暗之地说话，也没有对雅各的后裔说：‘你们在空虚中寻找我吧！’我耶和华讲说公义，宣告正直。
