「盜賊深夜洗劫你的家，不會洗劫一空；人們摘葡萄，不會摘光；但你會被徹底毀滅！

“盗贼若来在你那里，或强盗夜间而来（你何竟被剪除），岂不偷窃直到够了呢？摘葡萄的若来到你那里，岂不剩下些葡萄呢？

盗贼若来到你那里，小偷夜间来到，岂不是只偷他们所需要的吗？摘葡萄的若来到你那里，岂不留下几串吗？你竟全然灭绝！

爾之遭禍、何其甚哉、如盜賊夜至、必饜其所欲而後已、如摘葡萄、必有所遺、

若賊盜夜至、豈不竊至意足而後已乎、或作若有賊至或有夜盜來竊不過滿願為止摘葡萄者若至、豈無有所遺乎、爾遭翦絕、何其甚哉、

“ If thieves came to you, if robbers in the night— oh, what a disaster awaits you!— would they not steal only as much as they wanted? If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes?

“ Edom, suppose robbers came to you at night. They would steal only as much as they wanted. Suppose grape pickers came to harvest your vines. They would still leave a few grapes. But you are facing horrible trouble!

If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night— how you have been destroyed!— would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?

“ If thieves came at night and robbed you( what a disaster awaits you!), they would not take everything. Those who harvest grapes always leave a few for the poor. But your enemies will wipe you out completely!

If thieves came to you, if marauders by night— how ravaged you would be!— wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted? If grape harvesters came to you, wouldn’t they leave a few grapes?

“ If thieves came to you, If robbers by night— Oh how you will be ruined!— Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, Would they not leave some gleanings?

“ If thieves had come to you, If robbers by night— Oh, how you will be cut off!— Would they not have stolen till they had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to you, Would they not have left some gleanings?

人們來以東摘葡萄，不會摘盡；盜賊夜間來偷東西，不會偷光。

你們摘葡萄時，摘過一次後不可再摘，要把剩下的留給孤兒寡婦和寄居者。

倖存者寥寥無幾，就像打過的橄欖樹上剩下的果子，或兩三個掛在樹梢，或四五個殘存在枝頭。」這是以色列的上帝耶和華說的。

世上萬民所剩無幾，像打過的橄欖樹，又如摘過的葡萄樹。

他們對她所受的災禍充滿恐懼，就遠遠地站著說，『強大堅固的巴比倫城啊，真悲慘！真悲慘！因為審判頃刻間臨到你了。』

「以色列啊，你榮耀的王伏屍山上，偉大的勇士竟然倒下！

威震天下的錘子巴比倫怎麼被砍斷、打碎了！它的下場令列國震驚。

這就是那歡樂安逸、自以為無與倫比的城，現在竟然如此荒涼，成為野獸棲息之地！路過的人都搖手嘲笑它。

從前人煙稠密的城，現在何其荒涼！從前揚威萬邦的強國，現在竟像寡婦一樣。從前在諸省做公主的，現在卻淪為奴婢。

「明亮的晨星、黎明之子啊，你怎麼從天上墜落下來？你這打敗列國的怎麼被砍倒在地上？

我真悲慘！就像夏天的果子已被收盡，葡萄已被摘淨，找不到一串可吃的，尋不見我心中渴望的初熟無花果。
