他们就如街头上戏耍的孩童——彼此呼叫，“‘我们吹娶亲的乐曲，你们不跳舞；我们唱送葬的哀歌，你们不哭泣。’

好像孩童坐在街市上，彼此呼叫说：‘我们向你们吹笛，你们不跳舞；我们向你们举哀，你们不啼哭。’

似童子坐於市、相呼曰、我吹籥、爾不踊、我舉哀、爾不哭、

比之童子、坐於市井、相呼曰、我吹籲、爾不踊、我悲歌、爾不哭、

譬童子坐於街市、相呼曰、我向爾吹笛、而爾不躍、我向爾舉哀、而爾不哭、

譬諸童子坐於市井而相呼曰：「我吹笛、爾未舞！我悲歌、爾不哭！」

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:“‘ We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.’

They are like children sitting in the market and calling out to each other. They say,“‘ We played the flute for you. But you didn’t dance. We sang a funeral song. But you didn’t cry.’

They are like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends,‘ We played wedding songs, and you didn’t dance, so we played funeral songs, and you didn’t weep.’

“这个世代的人好像什么呢？他们好像一群在街上玩耍的儿童对别的孩子说，“‘我们吹娶亲的乐曲，你们不跳舞；我们唱送葬的哀歌，你们不悲伤。’约翰来了，也不吃也不喝，他们就说他被鬼附身。人子来了，又吃又喝，他们就说祂是贪吃好酒之徒，与税吏和罪人为友。然而智慧会在她的作为上得到验证。”

耶和华啊，你要的不是诚实吗？你责打他们，他们不感到疼痛；你严惩他们，他们仍不受教。他们屡教不改，脸比石头还硬。我想：“他们贫穷、愚昧，不明白他们上帝耶和华的道，也不知道祂的法令。我要找他们的首领说话，因为这些首领明白耶和华的道，知道他们上帝的法令。”然而，他们却一致违背耶和华的律法，不服从祂的法令。

街上必到处都是玩耍的男女孩童。’

愚人无心求智慧，手中有钱有何用？

对你们而言，所有的启示都好像封了印的书卷。你们把书卷交给识字的人读，他会说：“我不能读，这书卷是封着的。”你们把书卷交给不识字的人读，他会说：“我不识字。”

他们抱怨我说：“他想教导谁知识呢？他想把信息解释给谁呢？是刚刚断奶、离开母怀的婴孩吗？因为他的教导只是命命令令、命命令令、律律例例、律律例例、这里一点、那里一点。”因此，耶和华必用外族人的口和语言来教训他们。耶和华曾对他们说：“这是安歇之地，让疲乏的人安歇吧。这是安歇之地。”他们却不肯听。所以，对他们来说，耶和华的话成了命命令令、命命令令、律律例例、律律例例、这里一点、那里一点，以致他们走路时仰面跌倒，摔伤，落网，被捉。
