- 主耶和華說、我指著我的永生起誓、因你用一切可憎的物、可厭的事、玷污了我的聖所、故此、我定要使你人數減少、我眼必不顧惜你、也不可憐你。
- 你的民三分之一、必遭瘟疫而死、在你中間必因飢荒消滅.三分之一、必在你四圍倒在刀下.我必將三分之一分散四方、〔方原文作風〕並要拔刀追趕他們。
- 我要這樣成就怒中所定的.我向他們發的忿怒止息了、自己就得著安慰、我在他們身上成就怒中所定的、那時他們就知道我耶和華所說的、是出於熱心。
- 並且我必使你在四圍的列國中、在經過的眾人眼前、成了荒涼和羞辱。
- 這樣、我必以怒氣和忿怒、並烈怒的責備、向你施行審判.那時、你就在四圍的列國中成為羞辱、譏刺、警戒、驚駭.這是我耶和華說的。

- 'So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare.
- 'One third of you will die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.
- 'Thus My anger will be spent and I will satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be appeased; then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them.
- 'Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by.
- 'So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.
