耶利米書16章10-13節
現代中文譯本2019
16:10 「當你向他們傳達這話的時候，他們會問你：『為什麼上主這麼嚴厲地懲罰我們？我們究竟犯了什麼罪？在什麼地方得罪了上主—我們的上帝？』
16:11 你要告訴他們，上主這樣說：『你們的祖先背叛我去膜拜服事別的神明。他們離棄了我，不聽從我的教訓。
16:12 而你們比他們更可惡。你們一直為自己頑劣的心思所驅使，不聽從我。
16:13 所以我要把你們拋出這地方，把你們趕到你們和你們的祖先都不知道的地方去。在那裡，你們要日夜拜別的神明；我不再憐憫你們。』」
ESV
16:10 “And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
16:11 then you shall say to them: ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me, declares the LORD, and have gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law,
16:12 and because you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, every one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me.
16:13 Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
今天的經文，百姓問上帝為何降災？上帝回答：百姓的祖先已經離開上帝敬拜別神，而他們更是離開神。因此上帝特別將他們趕出應許之地，讓他們可以一直敬拜別神。
