4:19 我的肺腑啊，我的肺腑啊，我心疼痛！我心在我裡面煩躁不安。我不能靜默不言，因為我已經聽見角聲和打仗的喊聲。
4:20 毀壞的信息連絡不絕，因為全地荒廢。我的帳棚忽然毀壞；我的幔子頃刻破裂。
4:21 我看見大旗，聽見角聲，要到幾時呢？
4:22 耶和華說：我的百姓愚頑，不認識我；他們是愚昧無知的兒女，有智慧行惡，沒有知識行善。
4:23 先知說：我觀看地，不料，地是空虛混沌；我觀看天，天也無光。
4:24 我觀看大山，不料，盡都震動，小山也都搖來搖去。
4:25 我觀看，不料，無人；空中的飛鳥也都躲避。
4:26 我觀看，不料，肥田變為荒地；一切城邑在耶和華面前，因他的烈怒都被拆毀。
19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in
pain!
Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
20 Crash follows hard on crash;
the whole land is laid waste.
Suddenly my tents are laid waste,
my curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 "For my people are foolish;
they know me not;
they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
They
are 'wise'—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not."
23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it
was without form and void;
and
to the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I looked on the mountains, and behold,
they were quaking,
and all the hills moved to and fro.
25 I looked, and behold, there was no man,
and all the birds of the air had fled.
26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land
was a desert,
and all its cities were laid in ruins
before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

這裡讓我們看見上帝對祂的子民責難：「我的百姓愚頑，不認識我；他們是愚昧無知的兒女，有智慧行惡，沒有知識行善。」
之所以如此，是因為人不願意悔改，導致人不願意追求真理，以至於對上帝、對真理、對自己是無知，甚至是愚昧：有智慧行惡，沒有知識行善。也因為如此，上帝的憤怒出滿天地之間，到處都是充滿著震動與破壞！
求主幫助，讓我們因著信靠耶穌督，並賜下聖靈，引導我們進入真理，並且悔改歸向上帝，使我們不要遭受到上帝永遠的憤怒！
