- "I have cut off nations; Their corner towers are in ruins. I have made their streets desolate, With no one passing by; Their cities are laid waste, Without a man, without an inhabitant.
- "I said, 'Surely you will revere Me, Accept instruction ' So her dwelling will not be cut off According to all that I have appointed concerning her But they were eager to corrupt all their deeds.
- "Therefore wait for Me," declares the LORD, "For the day when I rise up as a witness Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal.
- "For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, That all of them may call on the name of the LORD, To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
- "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My dispersed ones, Will bring My offerings.

- 我耶和華已經除滅列國的民.他們的城樓毀壞.我使他們的街道荒涼、以致無人經過.他們的城邑毀滅、以致無人、也無居民。
- 我說、你只要敬畏我、領受訓誨.如此、你的住處、不致照我所擬定的除滅.只是你們從早起來、就在一切事上敗壞自己。
- 耶和華說、你們要等候我、直到我興起擄掠的日子、因為我已定意招聚列國、聚集列邦、將我的惱怒、就是我的烈怒、都傾在他們身上.我的忿怒如火、必燒滅全地。
- 那時、我必使萬民用清潔的言語、好求告我耶和華的名、同心合意地事奉我。
- 祈禱我的、就是我所分散的民、〔原文作女子下同〕必從古實河外來、給我獻供物。
