Then I said to them,“ You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach.”

以后，我对他们说：“我们所遭的难，耶路撒冷怎样荒凉，城门被火焚烧，你们都看见了。来吧，我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得再受凌辱！”

以后，我对他们说：“我们所遭的难，耶路撒冷怎样荒凉，城门被火焚烧，你们都看见了。来吧，让我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得再受凌辱！”

以后，我对他们说：“我们所遭的难，耶路撒冷怎样荒凉，城门被火焚烧，你们都看见了。来吧，让我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得再受凌辱！”

后来我对他们说：“你们都看到了我们的困境。耶路撒冷已成废墟，城门也被烧毁。来吧，让我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得我们再受凌辱。”

后来我对他们说：“你们都看见我们遭遇的患难：耶路撒冷成了荒芜之地，城门被火焚毁，你们都来吧！让我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得我们再受凌辱。”

以後，我對他們說：「我們所遭的難，耶路撒冷怎樣荒涼，城門被火焚燒，你們都看見了。來吧，我們重建耶路撒冷的城牆，免得再受凌辱！」

後來我對他們說：“你們都看見我們遭遇的患難：耶路撒冷成了荒蕪之地，城門被火焚毀，你們都來吧！讓我們重建耶路撒冷的城牆，免得我們再受凌辱。”

以後我卻對他們說：『我們所遇見的患難，耶路撒冷怎樣荒廢，它的城門怎樣被火焚燒，你們都看見了：來吧！我們修造耶路撒冷的城牆吧！免得再受恥辱。』

今謂之曰、耶路撒冷荒蕪、其門被燬、處此苦境、爾所目擊、我儕其來、重築耶路撒冷、勿復受辱、

惟謂之曰、耶路撒冷、其地荒蕪、其門被燬、遭此蹂躪、爾所目擊、不如重築城垣、毋為人姍笑。

後、我謂之曰、耶路撒冷荒蕪、邑門被燬、我儕處斯苦境、爾所目睹、不如重建耶路撒冷城垣、免再受恥笑、

Then I said to them,“ You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.”

I said to them,“ You can see the trouble we’re in. Jerusalem has been destroyed. Fire has burned up its gates. Come on. Let’s rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Then people won’t be ashamed anymore.”

Then I said to them,“ You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.”

But now I said to them,“ You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!”

So I said to them,“ You see the trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins and its gates have been burned. Come, let’s rebuild Jerusalem’s wall, so that we will no longer be a disgrace.”

Then I said to them,“ You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates have been burned by fire. Come, let’s rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a disgrace.”

Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

So I said to them,“ You see the trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins and its gates have been burned down. Come, let’s rebuild Jerusalem’s wall, so that we will no longer be a disgrace.”

Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we[ are] in, how Jerusalem[ lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

Then I said to them,“ You see the problem that we have: Jerusalem is desolate and its gates are burned. Come on! Let’s rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that this reproach will not continue.”

Then I said to them,“ You see the bad situation that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let’s build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced.”

Moreover I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.

And they said to me,“ The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are around us.

You have made us an offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.

I will deliver them to trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.

My eyes bring suffering to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants— How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees.Say to those who are fearful-hearted,“ Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”

And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

The Lord has swallowed up and has not pitied All the dwelling places of Jacob. He has thrown down in His wrath The strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

And Nahash the Ammonite answered them,“ On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel.”

Then the prophet Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.So Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

The Lord has purposed to destroy The wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out a line; He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying; Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament; They languished together.Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations; The Law is no more, And her prophets find no vision from the Lord.

And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra,“ We have trespassed against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.Now therefore, let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and those who have been born to them, according to the advice of my master and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. Be of good courage, and do it.”

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to those all around us.

You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries.Those near and those far from you will mock you as infamous and full of tumult.
