The LORD said to me,“ The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem have plotted rebellion against me!

耶和华对我说：“在犹大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同谋背叛的事。

耶和华对我说：“在犹大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同谋背叛的事。

耶和华对我说：“在犹大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同谋背叛的事。

耶和华对我说：“犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民阴谋背叛我。

耶和华又对我说：“在犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民中间，有背叛的阴谋。

耶和華對我說：「在猶大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同謀背叛的事。

耶和華對我說：「在猶大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同謀背叛的事。

耶和華對我說：「在猶大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同謀背叛的事。

耶和華對我說：「猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民陰謀背叛我。

耶和華又對我說：“在猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民中間，有背叛的陰謀。

永恆主對我說：『在猶大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同謀反叛的事。

耶和華諭我曰、猶大人及耶路撒冷居民中、有叛逆之謀、

耶和華又告耶利米曰、猶大人、及耶路撒冷居民、咸謀叛逆、予鑒察之。

主又諭我曰、猶大人及耶路撒冷居民中有叛逆之事、

Then the Lord said to me,“ There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem.

The Lord continued,“ The people of Judah have made some evil plans. So have those who live in Jerusalem.

Again the Lord said to me,“ A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Again the Lord spoke to me and said,“ I have discovered a conspiracy against me among the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

The LORD said to me,“ A conspiracy has been discovered among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.

Then the Lord said to me,“ A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And the Lord said to me,“ A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And Jehovah said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

The Lord said to me,“ A conspiracy has been discovered among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.

And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Yahweh said to me,“ A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

The company of priests is like a gang of robbers, lying in ambush to pounce on a victim. They commit murder on the road to Shechem; they have done heinous crimes!

So I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least important to the most important of them, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. Prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.

and said,“ What will you give me to betray him into your hands?” So they set out thirty silver coins for him.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met together in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.They planned to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

The prophets prophesy lies. The priests exercise power by their own authority. And my people love to have it this way. But they will not be able to help you when the time of judgment comes!

“ That is because, from the least important to the most important of them, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. Prophets and priests alike, all of them practice deceit.

Her princes within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they have devoured lives. They take away riches and valuable things; they have made many women widows within it.Her priests abuse my law and have desecrated my holy things. They do not distinguish between the holy and the profane, or recognize any distinction between the unclean and the clean. They ignore my Sabbaths and I am profaned in their midst.Her officials are like wolves in her midst rending their prey– shedding blood and destroying lives– so they can get dishonest profit.Her prophets coat their messages with whitewash. They see false visions and announce lying omens for them, saying,‘ This is what the sovereign LORD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have wronged the poor and needy; they have oppressed the foreigner who lives among them and denied them justice.“ I looked for a man from among them who would repair the wall and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy it, but I found no one.So I have poured my anger on them, and destroyed them with the fire of my fury. I hereby repay them for what they have done, declares the sovereign LORD.”

Her leaders take bribes when they decide legal cases, her priests proclaim rulings for profit, and her prophets read omens for pay. Yet they claim to trust the LORD and say,“ The LORD is among us. Disaster will not overtake us!”

Faithful men have disappeared from the land; there are no godly men left. They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; they hunt their own brother with a net.They are determined to be experts at doing evil; government officials and judges take bribes, prominent men make demands, and they all do what is necessary to satisfy them.

So from that day they planned together to kill him.

When morning came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they had killed Paul.There were more than forty of them who formed this conspiracy.They went to the chief priests and the elders and said,“ We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to partake of anything until we have killed Paul.So now you and the council request the commanding officer to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine his case by conducting a more thorough inquiry. We are ready to kill him before he comes near this place.”

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves,‘ This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and get his inheritance!’So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

The filthy, stained city is as good as dead; the city filled with oppressors is finished!She is disobedient; she refuses correction. She does not trust the LORD; she does not seek the advice of her God.Her princes are as fierce as roaring lions; her rulers are as hungry as wolves in the desert, who completely devour their prey by morning.Her prophets are proud; they are deceitful men. Her priests defile what is holy; they break God’s laws.
