「猶大王希西家和猶大人豈是把他處死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華，懇求耶和華施恩嗎？耶和華就改變心意，不把所說的災禍降與他們。若處死這人，我們就做了大惡，害死自己了。」

犹大王希西家和犹大众人岂是把他治死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华、恳求他的恩吗？耶和华就后悔，不把自己所说的灾祸降与他们。若治死这人，我们就作了大恶，自害己命。”

“犹大王希西家和犹大人岂是把他处死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华，恳求耶和华施恩吗？耶和华就改变心意，不把所说的灾祸降与他们。若处死这人，我们就做了大恶，害死自己了。”

“犹大王希西家和犹大人岂是把他处死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华，恳求耶和华施恩吗？耶和华就改变心意，不把所说的灾祸降与他们。若处死这人，我们就做了大恶，害死自己了。”

“但犹大王希西迦和犹大众人并没有处死他。希西迦敬畏耶和华，求祂开恩，耶和华才施怜悯，没有把原本预备的灾祸降给他们。若处死这人，我们会大祸临头。”

犹大王希西家和犹大众人可曾把他处死呢？希西家不是敬畏耶和华，求他开恩，以致耶和华回心转意，没有把他所说的灾祸降在他们身上吗？但我们现在竟自招大祸。”

猶大王希西家和猶大眾人豈是把他治死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華、懇求他的恩嗎？耶和華就後悔，不把自己所說的災禍降與他們。若治死這人，我們就作了大惡，自害己命。」（

「猶大王希西家和猶大人豈是把他處死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏耶和華，懇求耶和華施恩嗎？耶和華就改變心意，不把所說的災禍降與他們。若處死這人，我們就做了大惡，害死自己了。」

「但猶大王希西迦和猶大眾人並沒有處死他。希西迦敬畏耶和華，求祂開恩，耶和華才施憐憫，沒有把原本預備的災禍降給他們。若處死這人，我們會大禍臨頭。」

猶大王希西家和猶大眾人可曾把他處死呢？希西家不是敬畏耶和華，求他開恩，以致耶和華回心轉意，沒有把他所說的災禍降在他們身上嗎？但我們現在竟自招大禍。”

猶大王希西家和猶大眾人哪有把他治死呢？希西家豈不是敬畏永恆主，求他的情面；而永恆主就改變心意、不降他所說要降與他們的災禍麼？但我們呢、我們竟要行個大惡、來害自己的性命了！』

猶大王希西家、及猶大眾、豈致之於死乎、王非寅畏耶和華、而求其恩、致耶和華回意、不降所言之災乎、今我行此、乃自害己命耳、

猶大王希西家、與猶大庶民、未嘗加斯人以殺戮、惟敬畏耶和華、求其恩祐、故災害不果降、我今若殺耶利米、必罹禍災。

猶大王希西家與猶大庶民、何嘗殺之、惟希西家敬畏主、祈禱主、則主更易其志、不降所言欲降之災、我儕今竟欲行此大惡、自取罪戾、

“ Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah fear the Lord and seek his favor? And did not the Lord relent, so that he did not bring the disaster he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!”

Did King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah put Micah to death? Hezekiah had respect for the Lord and tried to please him. And the Lord didn’t judge Jerusalem as he said he would. He didn’t bring on it the trouble he said he would bring. But we are about to bring horrible trouble on ourselves!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, and did not the Lord relent of the disaster that he had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great disaster upon ourselves.”

But did King Hezekiah and the people kill him for saying this? No, they turned from their sins and worshiped the Lord. They begged him for mercy. Then the Lord changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had pronounced against them. So we are about to do ourselves great harm.”

Did King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did not the king fear the LORD and plead for the LORD’s favor, and did not the LORD relent concerning the disaster he had pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah actually put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the favor of the Lord, and the Lord relented of the disaster which He had pronounced against them? But we are committing a great evil against our own lives!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah ever put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and seek the LORD’s favor? And the Lord relented concerning the doom which He had pronounced against them. But we are doing great evil against ourselves.”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat the favor of Jehovah, and Jehovah repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the Lord’s favor, and did not the Lord relent concerning the disaster He had pronounced against them? We are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

King Hezekiah and all the people of Judah did not put him to death, did they? Did not Hezekiah show reverence for the LORD and seek the LORD’s favor? Did not the LORD forgo destroying them as he threatened he would? But we are on the verge of bringing great disaster on ourselves.”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”

於是耶和華改變心意，不把所說的災禍降給他的百姓。

天使向耶路撒冷伸手要毀滅這城的時候，耶和華改變心意，不降那災難，就對那在百姓中施行毀滅的天使說：「夠了！住手吧！」耶和華的使者正在耶布斯人亞勞拿的禾場那裏。

因我們的祖先犯了罪，行耶和華－我們上帝眼中看為惡的事，離棄他，轉臉背向耶和華的居所。他們又封鎖走廊的門，吹滅燈火，不在聖所中向以色列的上帝燒香，或獻燔祭。耶和華的憤怒臨到猶大和耶路撒冷，使他們恐懼，令人驚駭，使人嗤笑，正如你們親眼所見的。看哪，我們的祖宗倒在刀下，我們的妻子兒女也為此被擄掠。現在我心中有意與耶和華－以色列的上帝立約，好使他的烈怒轉離我們。我的眾子啊，現在不要懈怠；因為耶和華揀選你們站在他面前事奉他，作他的僕人，向他燒香。」

希西家向耶和華禱告說：「坐在基路伯之上萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，你，惟有你是地上萬國的上帝，你創造了天和地。耶和華啊，求你側耳而聽；耶和華啊，求你睜眼而看，聽西拿基立差遣使者辱罵永生上帝的一切話。耶和華啊，亞述諸王果然使列國和列國之地變為荒蕪，將列國的神明扔在火裏，因為它們不是神明，是人手所造的，是木頭、石頭，所以被滅絕了。耶和華－我們的上帝啊，現在求你救我們脫離亞述王的手，使地上萬國都知道惟有你是耶和華。」

希西家卻沒有照他所蒙的恩回報，因他心裏驕傲，所以憤怒要臨到他，臨到猶大和耶路撒冷。但希西家和耶路撒冷的居民為了心裏驕傲，就一同謙卑，以致耶和華的憤怒在希西家的日子沒有臨到他們。

希西家王聽見了，就撕裂衣服，披上麻衣，進了耶和華的殿。

若是出於上帝，你們就不能敗壞他們，恐怕你們倒是攻擊上帝了。」議會的人被他說服了，

或許耶和華－你的上帝聽見亞述將軍的話，就是他主人亞述王差他來辱罵永生上帝的話，耶和華－你的上帝就斥責所聽見的這些話。求你為倖存的餘民揚聲禱告。』」

這都因她先知的罪惡和祭司的罪孽，他們在城中流了義人的血。他們如盲人在街上徘徊，又被血玷污，以致人不敢摸他們的衣服。

希西家王和亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞先知為此禱告，向天呼求。

天哪，眾聖徒、眾使徒、眾先知啊！你們都要因她歡喜，因為上帝已經在她身上為你們伸了冤。」有一位大力的天使舉起一塊石頭，好像大磨石，扔在海裏，說：「巴比倫大城也必這樣猛力地被扔下去，絕對見不到了。彈琴、歌唱、吹笛、吹號的聲音，在你中間絕對聽不見了；各行手藝的技工在你中間絕對見不到了；推磨的聲音在你中間絕對聽不見了；燈臺的光在你中間絕對不再照耀了；新郎和新娘的聲音在你中間絕對聽不見了。你的商人原來是地上的顯要；萬國也被你的邪術迷惑了。先知、聖徒和地上一切被殺的人的血都在這城裏找到了。」

你圖謀剪除許多民族，犯了罪，使自己的家蒙羞，自害己命。

要把那些犯罪自喪己命之人的香爐錘成薄片，用以包祭壇；因為這些本是他們在耶和華面前獻過，分別為聖的，可以給以色列人作記號。」

如此，地上所有義人流的血都歸到你們身上，從義人亞伯的血起，直到你們在聖所和祭壇中間所殺的巴拉加的兒子撒迦利亞的血為止。

希律分封王，因他兄弟之妻希羅底的緣故，並因他所做的一切惡事，受了約翰的責備。希律在一切事上又添了這一件，就是把約翰收在監裏。

因他們曾流過聖徒與先知的血，現在你給他們血喝，這是他們該受的。」

這樣，你們就不會污穢所住之地，因為血能使地污穢；若有血流在地上，除非流那殺人者的血，否則那地就不得潔淨。你們不可玷污所住之地，就是我住在當中的地，因為我－耶和華住在以色列人中間。」

現在耶和華－萬軍之上帝、以色列的上帝如此說：你們為何做這大惡自害己命，使你們的男人、婦女、孩童和吃奶的都從猶大剪除，不留一人呢？

彼拉多見說也無濟於事，反要生亂，就拿水在眾人面前洗手，說：「流這人的血，罪不在我，你們承當吧。」眾人都回答：「他的血歸到我們和我們的子孫身上！」

或者他們肯聽從，各人回轉離開惡道，我就改變心意，不將我因他們所行的惡、想要施行的災禍降與他們。

但你們要確實知道，你們若把我處死，就使流無辜人血的罪歸給你們和這城，以及城裏的居民了；因為耶和華確實差遣我到你們這裏來，將這一切話傳到你們耳中。」

因為，看哪，耶和華從他的居所出來，要懲罰地上居民的罪孽。地必露出其中的血，不再掩蓋被殺的人。

「你們去，以所發現這書上的話，為我、為以色列和猶大倖存的人求問耶和華；因為我們的祖先沒有遵守耶和華的話，沒有照這書上所記的一切去做，耶和華的烈怒就倒在我們身上。」

羔羊揭開第五個印的時候，我看見在祭壇底下有曾為上帝的道，並為作見證而被殺的人的靈魂，大聲喊着說：「神聖真實的主宰啊，你不審判住在地上的人，為我們所流的血伸冤，要到幾時呢？」
