那麼我也就能棄絕雅各的後裔、和我僕人大衛的後裔，不從他後裔中選取了人做統治者來管理亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的後裔。因為我一定要恢復他們的故業，一定要憐憫他們。』

我就弃绝雅各的后裔和我仆人大卫的后裔，不使大卫的后裔治理亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的后裔；因为我必使他们被掳的人归回，也必怜悯他们。’”

否则我不会弃绝雅各的后裔和我仆人大卫的后裔，使大卫的后裔不再治理亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的后裔。我必使他们被掳的人归回，也必怜悯他们。”

否则我不会弃绝雅各的后裔和我仆人大卫的后裔，使大卫的后裔不再治理亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的后裔。我必使他们被掳的人归回，也必怜悯他们。”

我也决不弃绝雅各的后裔，不弃绝我仆人大卫的后裔。我必让大卫的后裔做王统治亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的子孙，因为我必使被掳的人回到故土，恩待他们。’”

我就会弃绝雅各的后裔，和我仆人大卫的后裔，不从大卫的后裔中选人出来统治亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的后裔。我却必使他们被掳的人归回，也必怜悯他们。’”

我就棄絕雅各的後裔和我僕人大衛的後裔，不使大衛的後裔治理亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的後裔；因為我必使他們被擄的人歸回，也必憐憫他們。」

否則我不會棄絕雅各的後裔和我僕人大衛的後裔，使大衛的後裔不再治理亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的後裔。我必使他們被擄的人歸回，也必憐憫他們。」

否則我不會棄絕雅各的後裔和我僕人大衛的後裔，使大衛的後裔不再治理亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的後裔。我必使他們被擄的人歸回，也必憐憫他們。」

我也決不棄絕雅各的後裔，不棄絕我僕人大衛的後裔。我必讓大衛的後裔做王統治亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的子孫，因為我必使被擄的人回到故土，恩待他們。』」

我就會棄絕雅各的後裔，和我僕人大衛的後裔，不從大衛的後裔中選人出來統治亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的後裔。我卻必使他們被擄的人歸回，也必憐憫他們。’”

則我遺棄雅各之裔、及我僕大衛之裔、不取大衛之裔、以治亞伯拉罕以撒雅各之後、蓋我必返其俘囚、加以矜恤、

則雅各家及我僕大闢、豈可棄之如遺、必簡其子孫、使治亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各後裔、蓋我必矜恤之、返其俘囚。

若能爽能廢、則我亦遐棄雅各之苗裔與我僕大衛、不復使大衛之裔、治理亞伯拉罕以撒雅各之子孫、蓋我必使其被擄者旋歸、且施之以矜恤、

then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.’”

Only then would I turn my back on the children of Jacob and my servant David. Only then would I not choose one of David’s sons to rule over the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will bless my people with great success again. I will love them with tender love.’ ”

then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

I will never abandon the descendants of Jacob or David, my servant, or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them.”

then I might also reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David. That is, I would not take rulers from his descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But in fact, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.”

then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will restore their fortunes and have mercy on them.’ ”

then I will cast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.’”

then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.

then I might also reject the seed of Jacob and of My servant David— not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.”

Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant,[ so] that I will not take[ any] of his seed[ to be] rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Just as surely as I have done this, so surely will I never reject the descendants of Jacob. Nor will I ever refuse to choose one of my servant David’s descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I will restore them and show mercy to them.”

then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”

永恆主這麼說：『上天若能被量度，下地的根基若能被測透，我也就能因以色列後裔所行的一切事來棄絕他們眾人了：永恆主發神諭說。』

永恆主必憐憫雅各，他必再揀選以色列，將他們安頓在本地上；寄居的必跟他們聯合，必隸屬於雅各家。

我必為自己將他種在這地。我必憐憫不蒙憐憫；我必對非我民說：「你乃是我人民」；而他也必說：「你乃是我的上帝。」』

猶大家我卻要憐憫；我必憑着我永恆主他們的上帝來拯救他們；我不靠着弓、不靠着刀或爭戰、不靠着馬匹或馬兵去拯救他們。』

『因此主永恆主這麼說：如今我要恢復雅各的故業；我要憐憫以色列全家，又為我的聖名發熱心。

永恆主發神諭說：以法蓮是我的寶貝兒子麼？是個可喜悅的孩子麼？因為我每逢說了話譴責他，我總還是依依懷念着他。我的心腸熱戀着他；我一定要憐憫他。

怒氣橫溢，我暫時掩面不看你，我卻要以永遠的堅愛憐憫你：這是贖回你、的永恆主說的。

因為上帝將萬人都圈住在不順服之中，好憐恤萬人。

權柄之杖必不離開猶大，指揮之棍必不離開他兩腿之間，直到屬他的那位來到，萬族之民都歸順他。

我必將猶大的故業和以色列的故業恢復過來，建立他們如起初一樣。我必洗淨他們一切的罪孽，就是他們得罪了我所犯的；我必赦免他們一切的罪孽，就是他們得罪了我背叛了我所犯的。這城必在地上萬國人面前使我得可喜可樂的名聲，得頌讚，得榮美，因為他們必聽見我向這城的人所賜的一切福樂；因我向這城所賜的一切福樂、一切平安興隆、列國的人都必恐懼戰兢。『永恆主這麼說：論到這地方你們說它荒廢，它沒有人，沒有牲口，但在這荒涼無人無居民無牲口的猶大城市和耶路撒冷街上，就在這地方、必還再聽見有歡躍的聲音和喜樂的聲音、新郎的聲音和新婦的聲音，又有人的聲音，就是那些帶感謝祭上永恆主之殿的人在說：「你們要稱謝萬軍之永恆主，因為永恆主至善，因為他的堅愛永遠長存。」因為我必恢復這地的故業、像起初一樣；這是永恆主說的。

以下是猶大省的人，從前巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒使他們流亡到巴比倫去的；現在他們中間有人從流亡中之被擄地上來，返回耶路撒冷和猶大，各歸本城。

『我必使猶大家堅強起來，我必拯救約瑟家。使他們返回，因為我憐憫他們，他們就像我不曾棄絕的一樣；因為是我永恆主做他們的上帝，我必應他們。

於是祭司和利未人、跟人民中一部分的人、住在耶路撒冷和耶路撒冷近郊的、歌唱的、守門的、當殿役的、都住在自己的市鎮裏；以色列眾人也住在自己的市鎮裏。
