| 13:9 | 耶和华的日子临到、必有残忍、忿恨、烈怒.使这地荒凉、从其中除灭罪人。 | Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. |
| 13:10 | 天上的众星群宿、都不发光.日头一出、就变黑暗、月亮也不放光。 | For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. |
| 13:11 | 我必因邪恶、刑罚世界、因罪孽、刑罚恶人.使骄傲人的狂妄止息、制伏强暴人的狂傲。 | And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. |

| 13:20 | 其内必永无人烟、世世代代无人居住.亚拉伯人也不在那里支搭帐棚.牧羊的人、也不使羊群卧在那里。 | It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. |
| 13:21 | 只有旷野的走兽卧在那里.咆哮的兽满了房屋.鸵鸟住在那里.野山羊在那里跳舞。 | But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. |
| 13:22 | 豺狼必在他宫中呼号.野狗必在他华美殿内吼叫.巴比伦受罚的时候临近、他的日子、必不长久。 | And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged. |
