“ A time is coming,” says the Lord,“ when I will punish all those who are circumcised in body but not in spirit—

耶和华说：“看哪，日子将到，我要刑罚一切受过割礼、心却未受割礼的，

“看哪，日子将到，这是耶和华说的，我要惩罚只在肉身受割礼的人，

“看哪，日子将到，这是耶和华说的，我要惩罚只在肉身受割礼的人，

耶和华说：“看啊，时候将到，我要惩罚所有只在身体受过割礼的人，

“看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），我必惩罚所有只在身体受过割礼，内心却未受割礼的人，

耶和華說：「看哪，日子將到，我要刑罰一切受過割禮、心卻未受割禮的，

「看哪，日子將到，這是耶和華說的，我要懲罰只在肉身受割禮的人，

「看哪，日子將到，這是耶和華說的，我要懲罰只在肉身受割禮的人，

耶和華說：「看啊，時候將到，我要懲罰所有只在身體受過割禮的人，

“看哪！日子快到（這是耶和華的宣告），我必懲罰所有只在身體受過割禮，內心卻未受割禮的人，

『看吧，日子必到——永恆主發神諭說——我必察罰一切受過割禮，而心沒受割禮的：

耶和華曰、時日將至、彼受割而未潔者、我必罰之、

耶和華曰、時日將至、受割與未受割者、我悉降罰、使之同刑、

主曰、日將至、我以受割禮者與未受割禮者一並懲罰、

“ The days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh—

“ The days are coming when I will judge people,” announces the Lord.“ I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their bodies.

“ Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh—

“‘ Look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when I will punish all the circumcised yet uncircumcised:

“ Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—

“ Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,“ that I will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised—

Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish all them that are circumcised in their uncircumcision:

“ The days are coming”— the Lord’s declaration—“ when I will punish all the circumcised yet uncircumcised:

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all[ them which are] circumcised with the uncircumcised;

The LORD says,“ Watch out! The time is soon coming when I will punish all those who are circumcised only in the flesh.

“ Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh,“ that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:

Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us.For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.

The Jewish ceremony of circumcision has value only if you obey God’s law. But if you don’t obey God’s law, you are no better off than an uncircumcised Gentile.And if the Gentiles obey God’s law, won’t God declare them to be his own people?

But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness.There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil— for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.

You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

Say to them,‘ O Egypt, are you lovelier than the other nations? No! So go down to the pit and lie there among the outcasts.’The Egyptians will fall with the many who have died by the sword, for the sword is drawn against them. Egypt and its hordes will be dragged away to their judgment.Down in the grave mighty leaders will mockingly welcome Egypt and its allies, saying,‘ They have come down; they lie among the outcasts, hordes slaughtered by the sword.’“ Assyria lies there surrounded by the graves of its army, those who were slaughtered by the sword.Their graves are in the depths of the pit, and they are surrounded by their allies. They struck terror in the hearts of people everywhere, but now they have been slaughtered by the sword.“ Elam lies there surrounded by the graves of all its hordes, those who were slaughtered by the sword. They struck terror in the hearts of people everywhere, but now they have descended as outcasts to the world below. Now they lie in the pit and share the shame of those who have gone before them.They have a resting place among the slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of all their hordes. Yes, they terrorized the nations while they lived, but now they lie in shame with others in the pit, all of them outcasts, slaughtered by the sword.“ Meshech and Tubal are there, surrounded by the graves of all their hordes. They once struck terror in the hearts of people everywhere. But now they are outcasts, all slaughtered by the sword.They are not buried in honor like their fallen heroes, who went down to the grave with their weapons— their shields covering their bodies and their swords beneath their heads. Their guilt rests upon them because they brought terror to everyone while they were still alive.“ You too, Egypt, will lie crushed and broken among the outcasts, all slaughtered by the sword.“ Edom is there with its kings and princes. Mighty as they were, they also lie among those slaughtered by the sword, with the outcasts who have gone down to the pit.“ All the princes of the north and the Sidonians are there with others who have died. Once a terror, they have been put to shame. They lie there as outcasts with others who were slaughtered by the sword. They share the shame of all who have descended to the pit.“ When Pharaoh and his entire army arrive, he will take comfort that he is not alone in having his hordes killed, says the Sovereign Lord.Although I have caused his terror to fall upon all the living, Pharaoh and his hordes will lie there among the outcasts who were slaughtered by the sword. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

“ From among all the families on the earth, I have been intimate with you alone. That is why I must punish you for all your sins.”
