But again I ask, didn’t Israel understand? First Moses says,“ I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.”

我再说，以色列人不知道吗？先有摩西说：“我要用那不成子民的，惹动你们的愤恨；我要用那无知的民，触动你们的怒气。”

我再问，以色列人不知道吗？先有摩西说：“我要以不成国的激起你们嫉妒；我要以愚顽的国惹起你们发怒。”

我再问，以色列人不知道吗？先有摩西说：“我要以不成国的激起你们嫉妒；我要以愚顽的国惹起你们发怒。”

我再问，难道以色列人不知道吗？首先，摩西说：“我要借无名之民挑起你们的嫉妒，用愚昧的国民激起你们的怒气。”

我再说：以色列人真的不明白吗？首先，摩西说：“我要使你们对那不是子民的生嫉妒，对那无知的民族起忿怒。”

我再说“以色列人难道不明白吗？”首先，摩西说：“我要用不是子民的，激起你们的嫉妒之心，用无知的民族激起你们的怒气。”

我再說，以色列人不知道嗎？先有摩西說：我要用那不成子民的惹動你們的憤恨；我要用那無知的民觸動你們的怒氣。

我再問，以色列人不知道嗎？先有摩西說：「我要以不成國的激起你們嫉妒；我要以愚頑的國惹起你們發怒。」

我再問，以色列人不知道嗎？先有摩西說：「我要以不成國的激起你們嫉妒；我要以愚頑的國惹起你們發怒。」

我再問，難道以色列人不知道嗎？首先，摩西說：「我要藉無名之民挑起你們的嫉妒，用愚昧的國民激起你們的怒氣。」

我再說：以色列人真的不明白嗎？首先，摩西說：“我要使你們對那不是子民的生嫉妒，對那無知的民族起忿怒。”

但是我說，以色列難道不明白麼？先有摩西說：『我要激動你們羨妒那不是國民的，我要惹動你們氣忿那蒙昧的國民。』

我再說「以色列人難道不明白嗎？」首先，摩西說：「我要用不是子民的，激起你們的嫉妒之心，用無知的民族激起你們的怒氣。」

我又曰、以色列民豈未知乎、昔摩西云、我將以異族發爾憤、且將以蚩氓觸爾怒、

余又曰、以色列人、豈未知乎、昔摩西曰、我將子異民、使爾發奮、子頑民、使爾激勵、

我又曰、以色列人豈未知乎、昔摩西曰、我將以異民、激爾嫉妒、將以愚民、激爾忿怒、

然則義塞人果未悟耶？摩西書曰：『吾將子異民、使爾激勵；子頑民、使爾發憤。』

Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,“ I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”

Again I ask,“ Didn’t Israel understand?” First, Moses says,“ I will use people who are not a nation to make you jealous. I will use a nation that has no understanding to make you angry.”( Deuteronomy 32:21)

But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,“ I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.”

But I ask, did the people of Israel really understand? Yes, they did, for even in the time of Moses, God said,“ I will rouse your jealousy through people who are not even a nation. I will provoke your anger through the foolish Gentiles.”

But I ask,“ Did Israel not understand?” First, Moses said, I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that lacks understanding.

But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says,“ I will make you jealous with those who are not a nation, With a foolish nation I will anger you.”

But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:“ I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”

But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.

But I ask,“ Did Israel not understand?” First, Moses said: I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that lacks understanding.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by[ them that are] no people,[ and] by a foolish nation I will anger you.

But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says,“ I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”

They have made me jealous with false gods, enraging me with their worthless gods; so I will make them jealous with a people they do not recognize, with a nation slow to learn I will enrage them.

I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

if somehow I could provoke my people to jealousy and save some of them.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another.

You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.

They do not comprehend or understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern.No one thinks to himself, nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:‘ I burned half of it in the fire– yes, I baked bread over the coals; I roasted meat and ate it. With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol? Should I bow down to dry wood?’He feeds on ashes; his deceived mind misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say,‘ Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’

But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have: Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

And I say this, brothers and sisters: The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,

All these idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made. For the image he forges is merely a sham. There is no breath in any of those idols.

Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Then I will plant her as my own in the land. I will have pity on‘ No Pity’( Lo-Ruhamah). I will say to‘ Not My People’( Lo-Ammi),‘ You are my people!’ And he will say,‘ You are my God!’”

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

The people of those nations are both stupid and foolish. Instruction from a wooden idol is worthless!

Am I saying that idols or food sacrificed to them amount to anything?

Now I mean this, that each of you is saying,“ I am with Paul,” or“ I am with Apollos,” or“ I am with Cephas,” or“ I am with Christ.”

You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led.

This was also to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell,hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot even clear their throats.Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.

Do you not have houses so that you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show contempt for the church of God by shaming those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!
