But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.

你们仍不知道，也不明白，在黑暗中走来走去；地的根基都摇动了。

他们愚昧，他们无知，在黑暗中走来走去；地的根基都摇动了。

他们愚昧，他们无知，在黑暗中走来走去；地的根基都摇动了。

你们愚昧无知，行在黑暗中，大地的根基摇动。

他们没有知识，也不明白，在黑暗中走来走去；大地的一切根基都摇动了。

你们不明白，也不领悟；你们在黑暗中往来行走；大地的根基全都动摇了。

你們仍不知道，也不明白，在黑暗中走來走去；地的根基都搖動了。

他們愚昧，他們無知，在黑暗中走來走去；地的根基都搖動了。

他們愚昧，他們無知，在黑暗中走來走去；地的根基都搖動了。

你們愚昧無知，行在黑暗中，大地的根基搖動。

他們沒有知識，也不明白，在黑暗中走來走去；大地的一切根基都搖動了。

唉，他們仍不知道，也不明白，只在黑暗中走來走去，以致地的根基都搖動了！

你們不明白，也不領悟；你們在黑暗中往來行走；大地的根基全都動搖了。

惟彼不知不識、行於幽暗、地基動搖兮、

嗟爾士師、懵然無知、昧於正理、其心昏昏、柱石傾頽兮。

但彼皆無知、不明情理、行於黑暗、世之根基盡皆動搖、

若輩何昏昧。不復識天理。徬徨黑闇中。綱常已頹廢。

“ The‘ gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

“ You leaders don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything. You are in the dark about what is right. Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.

They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They do not know nor do they understand; They walk around in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?”

These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths.

I said,“ Listen, you leaders of Israel! You are supposed to know right from wrong,

Jesus replied,“ My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.

For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord.

Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.

The nation of Israel is the vineyard of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The people of Judah are his pleasant garden. He expected a crop of justice, but instead he found oppression. He expected to find righteousness, but instead he heard cries of violence.

But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription:“ The Lord knows those who are his,” and“ All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.”

For the wise can see where they are going, but fools walk in the dark.” Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.

When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude

I also noticed that under the sun there is evil in the courtroom. Yes, even the courts of law are corrupt!

So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living. We look for light but find only darkness. We look for bright skies but walk in gloom.

But the way of the wicked is like total darkness. They have no idea what they are stumbling over.

Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to God.
