“ Just as the Lord has found great pleasure in causing you to prosper and multiply, the Lord will find pleasure in destroying you. You will be torn from the land you are about to enter and occupy.

先前耶和华怎样喜悦善待你们，使你们众多，也要照样喜悦毁灭你们，使你们灭亡；并且你们从所要进去得的地上必被拔除。

耶和华先前怎样喜爱善待你们，使你们增多，耶和华也要照样喜爱消灭你们，使你们灭绝。你们必从所要进去得为业的地上被拔除。

耶和华先前怎样喜爱善待你们，使你们增多，耶和华也要照样喜爱消灭你们，使你们灭绝。你们必从所要进去得为业的地上被拔除。

正如耶和华喜欢赐福你们，使你们人丁兴旺，祂也同样会不惜消灭你们，使你们在将要占领的土地上灭亡。

先前耶和华怎样喜欢使你们得好处，使你们人数众多，将来也必怎样喜欢把你们灭亡，把你们消灭；你们必从要进去得为业的地上被拔除。

先前耶和華怎樣喜悅善待你們，使你們眾多，也要照樣喜悅毀滅你們，使你們滅亡；並且你們從所要進去得的地上必被拔除。

耶和華先前怎樣喜愛善待你們，使你們增多，耶和華也要照樣喜愛消滅你們，使你們滅絕。你們必從所要進去得為業的地上被拔除。

耶和華先前怎樣喜愛善待你們，使你們增多，耶和華也要照樣喜愛消滅你們，使你們滅絕。你們必從所要進去得為業的地上被拔除。

正如耶和華喜歡賜福你們，使你們人丁興旺，祂也同樣會不惜消滅你們，使你們在將要佔領的土地上滅亡。

先前耶和華怎樣喜歡使你們得好處，使你們人數眾多，將來也必怎樣喜歡把你們滅亡，把你們消滅；你們必從要進去得為業的地上被拔除。

先前永恆主怎樣喜悅你們，使你們得好處，人數增多，將來永恆主也必怎樣喜悅使你們滅亡、使你們消滅；你們必從所要進去取得的土地上被扯走。

昔耶和華以善待爾、昌熾爾為悅、厥後以毀滅爾、殲殄爾為悅、使爾絕於所入而得之地、

昔耶和華善待爾曹、使爾眾多、是其所喜、厥後殲滅爾曹、使爾盡亡、絕於所據之地、亦其所喜。

昔主善待爾、使爾眾多、是主所喜、厥後主殲滅爾、使爾盡亡、絕絕原文作見拔於爾所往欲得之地、亦主所喜、

Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.

It pleased the Lord to give you success and to cause there to be many of you. But it will please him just as much to wipe you out and destroy you. You will be removed from the land you are entering to take as your own.

Just as the LORD was glad to cause you to prosper and to multiply you, so he will also be glad to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be ripped out of the land you are entering to possess.

And it will come about that, just as the Lord rejoiced over you to be good to you, and make you numerous, so will the Lord rejoice over you to wipe you out and destroy you; and you will be torn away from the land which you are entering to possess.

And it shall be, that just as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing; and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.

Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says,“ I will take revenge on my enemies and pay back my foes!

Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of his special people? You will not stay angry with your people forever, because you delight in showing unfailing love.

In the past I deliberately uprooted and tore down this nation. I overthrew it, destroyed it, and brought disaster upon it. But in the future I will just as deliberately plant it and build it up. I, the Lord, have spoken!

The Lord your God will drive those nations out ahead of you little by little. You will not clear them away all at once, otherwise the wild animals would multiply too quickly for you.

Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it?And when she finds it, she will call in her friends and neighbors and say,‘ Rejoice with me because I have found my lost coin.’In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.”

“ Baruch, this is what the Lord says:‘ I will destroy this nation that I built. I will uproot what I planted.

Now this is what the Lord says:“ I will uproot from their land all the evil nations reaching out for the possession I gave my people Israel. And I will uproot Judah from among them.But afterward I will return and have compassion on all of them. I will bring them home to their own lands again, each nation to its own possession.

‘ Stay here in this land. If you do, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you. For I am sorry about all the punishment I have had to bring upon you.
