All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people. But they follow their own evil paths and their own crooked schemes.

我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓；他们随自己的意念行不善之道。

我整天向那悖逆的百姓招手，他们随自己的意念行不善之道。

我整天向那悖逆的百姓招手，他们随自己的意念行不善之道。

我整天伸出双手招呼一群悖逆的百姓，他们却任意妄为，不走正路，

我整天向着悖逆的子民伸开双手，他们随着自己的意念行不善的道。

我终日向悖逆的子民伸出我的手。他们随着自己的意念行不善之道；

我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓；他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。

我整天向那悖逆的百姓招手，他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。

我整天向那悖逆的百姓招手，他們隨自己的意念行不善之道。

我整天伸出雙手招呼一群悖逆的百姓，他們卻任意妄為，不走正路，

我整天向著悖逆的子民伸開雙手，他們隨著自己的意念行不善的道。

我整天伸開着手招呼倔強悖逆的人民，就是隨自己的意圖行不善的路的；

我終日向悖逆的子民伸出我的手。他們隨著自己的意念行不善之道；

我終日舉手、招悖逆之民、彼行不軌、任意而為、

選民違逆、任意為非、我終日舉手勸迪。

行惡道、徇私意、悖逆之民、我終日舉手招之、

All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations—

All day long I have held out my hands to welcome a stubborn nation. They lead sinful lives. They go where their evil thoughts take them.

I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;

I spread out my hands all day long to a rebellious people who walk in the path that is not good, following their own thoughts.

I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts,

I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk in a way that is not good, According to their own thoughts;

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

I spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people who walk in the wrong path, following their own thoughts.

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way[ that was] not good, after their own thoughts;

I spread out my hands all day long to my rebellious people, who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable, and who did what they desired.

I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

But regarding Israel, God said,“ All day long I opened my arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious.”

“ But my people would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward.

“ I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.

“ But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around.So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.

Listen, O heavens! Pay attention, earth! This is what the Lord says:“ The children I raised and cared for have rebelled against me.

O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart that you may be saved. How long will you harbor your evil thoughts?

For I know how rebellious and stubborn you are. Even now, while I am still alive and am here with you, you have rebelled against the Lord. How much more rebellious will you be after my death!

In that day Jerusalem will be known as‘ The Throne of the Lord.’ All nations will come there to honor the Lord. They will no longer stubbornly follow their own evil desires.

But they rebelled against him and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.

The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.

When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the Lord instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.

But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts. They have turned away and abandoned me.

“ A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.

Violent people mislead their companions, leading them down a harmful path.

“ Remember and never forget how angry you made the Lord your God out in the wilderness. From the day you left Egypt until now, you have been constantly rebelling against him.

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

“ Son of man,” he said,“ I am sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day.They are a stubborn and hard hearted people. But I am sending you to say to them,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’And whether they listen or refuse to listen— for remember, they are rebels— at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.“ Son of man, do not fear them or their words. Don’t be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels.You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious!

But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.“ How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.

“ Those who hear the warnings of this curse should not congratulate themselves, thinking,‘ I am safe, even though I am following the desires of my own stubborn heart.’ This would lead to utter ruin!

“ I can see what they are doing, and I know what they are thinking. So I will gather all nations and peoples together, and they will see my glory.

They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder. They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them.They don’t know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good. They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace.

Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

Your leaders are rebels, the companions of thieves. All of them love bribes and demand payoffs, but they refuse to defend the cause of orphans or fight for the rights of widows.

“ You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you!Name one prophet your ancestors didn’t persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous One— the Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.

But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

For some of the Jews killed the prophets, and some even killed the Lord Jesus. Now they have persecuted us, too. They fail to please God and work against all humanityas they try to keep us from preaching the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. By doing this, they continue to pile up their sins. But the anger of God has caught up with them at last.
