He spoke to his friends and the army of Samaria. He said,“ What are those Jews trying to do? Can they make their city wall like new again? Will they offer sacrifices?

saying in front of his friends and the Samarian army officers,“ What does this bunch of poor, feeble Jews think they’re doing? Do they think they can build the wall in a single day by just offering a few sacrifices? Do they actually think they can make something of stones from a rubbish heap— and charred ones at that?”

但上帝揀選了世人看為愚昧的，要使智者羞愧；上帝揀選了世上軟弱的，要使強者蒙羞；

猶大人說：「工人已經精疲力盡，還有太多瓦礫有待清理，我們自己無法重建城牆。」

耶和華啊，我聽過你的威名；耶和華啊，我對你的作為充滿敬畏。求你如今再次彰顯你的作為，求你發怒的時候仍以憐憫為念。

在耶路撒冷的城牆典禮之際，民眾把各處的利未人請到耶路撒冷，來稱頌、歌唱、敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴，歡慶典禮。

祂對我說：「人子啊，這些骸骨能復活嗎？」我說：「主耶和華啊，只有你知道。」祂又對我說：「你對這些骸骨發預言說，『枯骨啊，你們要聽耶和華說的話！主耶和華說，我要使氣息進入你們裡面，你們就必復活過來。我必給你們加上筋，使你們長出肉，再包上皮，將氣息放在你們裡面，你們就復活了。這樣，你們就知道我是耶和華。』」於是，我便按耶和華的吩咐向枯骨發預言，我正說預言的時候，忽然有震動的聲音，骨頭便連在了一起。我又發現骨頭上有了筋，長了肉，包上了皮，只是還沒有氣息。耶和華對我說：「人子啊，你要向風說預言，告訴風，主耶和華這樣說，『風啊，從四方吹來，吹在這些被殺的人身上，使他們復活。』」於是，我便按耶和華的吩咐說預言，氣息就進入他們裡面，他們便復活了，並且站立起來，成為一支大軍。耶和華對我說：「人子啊，這些骸骨就是所有的以色列人，他們說，『我們骨頭枯乾，希望幻滅，徹底完了。』你要說預言，告訴他們，『主耶和華說，我的子民啊，我要打開你們的墳墓，領你們出來，我要領你們返回以色列。我的子民啊，當我這樣做的時候，你們就知道我是耶和華。

非利士的駐軍看見二人走近，就說：「看！希伯來人從洞裡爬出來了！」駐軍對約拿單和拿兵器的人大喊：「上來，我們要教訓教訓你們。」約拿單就對拿兵器的人說：「跟著我爬上去，耶和華已經把他們交在以色列人手裡了。」

到那天，耶和華必保護耶路撒冷的居民，使他們當中最軟弱的像大衛一樣剛強，使大衛家像上帝一樣，像耶和華的天使一樣帶領他們。

他對大衛說：「你拿著棍子來戰我，難道我是一條狗嗎？」他就憑自己的神明咒詛大衛，又說：「你過來，我要把你的肉丟給天上的飛禽和地上的走獸。」
