第五十九章
6 他們晚上轉回，叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
7 他們口中噴吐惡言，嘴裡有刀。他們說：“有誰聽見？”
8 但你耶和華必笑話他們，你要嗤笑萬邦。
9 我的力量啊，我必仰望你，因為神是我的高台。
10我的神要以慈愛迎接我，神要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
11不要殺他們，恐怕我的民忘記。主啊，你是我們的盾牌，求你
用你的能力使他們四散，且降為卑。
12因他們口中的罪和嘴裡的言語，並咒罵虛謊的話，願他們在驕傲
之中被纏住了。
13求你發怒，使他們消滅，以至歸於無有，叫他們知道神在雅各中
間掌權，直到地極。

Chapter 59
6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But you laugh at them, LORD; you scoff at all those nations.
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield, or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
