“ Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

甚愿我的民肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

但愿我的子民肯听从我，以色列人肯遵行我的道。

只要我的子民听从我，以色列肯遵行我的道，

但愿我的子民肯听从我，以色列肯走我的道路，

甚願我的民肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

我的子民若肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

但願我的子民肯聽從我，以色列人肯遵行我的道。

只要我的子民聽從我，以色列肯遵行我的道，

啊，只要我人民肯聽我，以色列肯遵行我的道路，

但願我的子民肯聽從我，以色列肯走我的道路，

深願我民聽我、以色列遵行我道兮、

如以色列族、我民恪遵我命、聽從我道兮、

我民若肯聽從我、以色列人若肯遵行我道、

縱人欲。昧天理。愚而好自用。冥頑不靈徇私智。

“ If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways,

“ I wish my people would listen to me! I wish Israel would live as I want them to live!

Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

Oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths!

If only my people would listen to me and Israel would follow my ways,

Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

If only My people would listen to Me and Israel would follow My ways,

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me,[ and] Israel had walked in my ways!

If only my people would obey me! If only Israel would keep my commands!

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,saying,“ If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

“ And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?

Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!
