“ And when your people ask,‘ Why did the Lord our God do all this to us?’ you must reply,‘ You rejected him and gave yourselves to foreign gods in your own land. Now you will serve foreigners in a land that is not your own.’

When people ask,‘ For what offense has the LORD our God done all these things to us?’ You will respond to them,‘ Just as you abandoned me and served foreign gods in your land, so will you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’

And it shall come about when they say,‘ Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us?’ then you shall say to them,‘ Just as you have abandoned Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’

And it will be when you say,‘ Why does the Lord our God do all these things to us?’ then you shall answer them,‘ Just as you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve aliens in a land that is not yours.’

这殿虽然甚高，将来经过的人必惊讶、嗤笑，说：‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢？’人必回答说：‘是因此地的人离弃领他们列祖出埃及地之耶和华他们的神，去亲近别神，侍奉敬拜他，所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们。’”

你若心里说：这一切事为何临到我呢？你的衣襟揭起，你的脚跟受伤，是因你的罪孽甚多。

许多国的民要经过这城，各人对邻舍说：‘耶和华为何向这大城如此行呢？’他们必回答说：‘是因离弃了耶和华他们神的约，侍奉敬拜别神。’”

“因为你富有的时候，不欢心乐意地侍奉耶和华你的神，所以你必在饥饿、干渴、赤露、缺乏之中侍奉耶和华所打发来攻击你的仇敌。他必把铁轭加在你的颈项上，直到将你灭绝。

所看见的人，连万国人，都必问说：‘耶和华为何向此地这样行呢？这样大发烈怒是什么意思呢？’人必回答说：‘是因这地的人离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神，领他们出埃及地的时候与他们所立的约，去侍奉敬拜素不认识的别神，是耶和华所未曾给他们安排的。所以耶和华的怒气向这地发作，将这书上所写的一切咒诅都降在这地上。耶和华在怒气、忿怒、大恼恨中将他们从本地拔出来，扔在别的地上，像今日一样。’

所以我必将你们从这地赶出，直赶到你们和你们列祖素不认识的地。你们在那里必昼夜侍奉别神，因为我必不向你们施恩。’”

“你将这一切的话指示这百姓。他们问你说：‘耶和华为什么说，要降这大灾祸攻击我们呢？我们有什么罪孽呢？我们向耶和华我们的神犯了什么罪呢？’你就对他们说：‘耶和华说：因为你们列祖离弃我，随从别神，侍奉敬拜，不遵守我的律法，

这殿虽然甚高，将来经过的人必惊讶说：‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢？’人必回答说：‘是因此地的人离弃耶和华他们列祖的神，就是领他们出埃及地的神，去亲近别神，敬拜侍奉他，所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们。’”

“你们在那地住久了，生子生孙，就雕刻偶像，仿佛什么形像，败坏自己，行耶和华你神眼中看为恶的事，惹他发怒。我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证，你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽！你们不能在那地上长久，必尽行除灭。耶和华必使你们分散在万民中；在他所领你们到的万国里，你们剩下的人数稀少。在那里，你们必侍奉人手所造的神，就是用木石造成、不能看、不能听、不能吃、不能闻的神。

你还说：‘我无辜；耶和华的怒气必定向我消了。’看哪，我必审问你；因你自说：‘我没有犯罪。’
