For I will not be hostile forever or perpetually angry, for then man’s spirit would grow faint before me, the life-giving breath I created.

我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒，恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。

我必不长久控诉，也不永远怀怒，因为我虽使灵性发昏，我也造了人的气息。

我必不长久控诉，也不永远怀怒，因为我虽使灵性发昏，我也造了人的气息。

我不会永远指责，也不会一直发怒，以免世人——我所造的生灵昏倒。

我必不永远争辩，也不长久发怒，因为这样，人的灵，就是我所造的人，在我面前就要发昏。

我必不永远责备，也不长久发怒，否则人的灵——我所造的生命气息，在我面前就会衰竭。

我必不永遠相爭，也不長久發怒，恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。

我必不長久控訴，也不永遠懷怒，因為我雖使靈性發昏，我也造了人的氣息。

我必不長久控訴，也不永遠懷怒，因為我雖使靈性發昏，我也造了人的氣息。

我不會永遠指責，也不會一直發怒，以免世人——我所造的生靈昏倒。

我必不永遠爭辯，也不長久發怒，因為這樣，人的靈，就是我所造的人，在我面前就要發昏。

因為我不永遠爭辯，也不長久震怒；因為人的生氣是由我而出，人的氣息是我造的。

我必不永遠責備，也不長久發怒，否則人的靈——我所造的生命氣息，在我面前就會衰竭。

我不常爭辯、不恆忿怒、恐我所造之人困憊、神性疲弊、

我之責人、不恆蓄怒、恐予所造之人、膽喪氣餒、

我必不永遠斥責、不恆久震怒、恐我所造之人、心神困憊、

I will not accuse them forever, nor will I always be angry, for then they would faint away because of me— the very people I have created.

I will not find fault with my people forever. I will not always be angry with them. If I were, I would cause their spirits to grow weak. The people I created would faint away.

For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of life that I made.

For I will not fight against you forever; I will not always be angry. If I were, all people would pass away— all the souls I have made.

For I will not accuse you forever, and I will not always be angry; for then the spirit would grow weak before me, even the breath, which I have made.

For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would grow faint before Me, And the breath of those whom I have made.

For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would fail before Me, And the souls which I have made.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.

For I will not accuse you forever, and I will not always be angry; for then the spirit would grow weak before Me, even the breath of man, which I have made.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls[ which] I have made.

For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

There is no other God like you! You forgive sin and pardon the rebellion of those who remain among your people. You do not remain angry forever, but delight in showing loyal love.

Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations?

Yet he is compassionate. He forgives sin and does not destroy. He often holds back his anger, and does not stir up his fury.He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?

Correct us, LORD, but only in due measure. Do not punish us in anger or you will reduce us to nothing.

He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay.A person’s life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.

Then they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground and said,“ O God, the God of the spirits of all people, will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”

This is what the true God, the LORD, says– the one who created the sky and stretched it out, the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it, the one who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live on it:

So the LORD said,“ My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.”

So King Zedekiah made a secret promise to Jeremiah and sealed it with an oath. He promised,“ As surely as the LORD lives who has given us life and breath, I promise you this: I will not kill you or hand you over to those men who want to kill you.”

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the life’s breath returns to God who gave it.

The revelation of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: The LORD– he who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundations of the earth, who forms the human spirit within a person– says,

If God were to set his heart on it, and gather in his spirit and his breath,all flesh would perish together and human beings would return to dust.
