13:20 你們要舉目觀看從北方來的人。先前賜給你的群眾，就是你佳美的群眾，如今在哪裡呢？
13:21 耶和華立你自己所交的朋友為首，轄制你，那時你還有甚麼話說呢？痛苦豈不將你抓住像產難的婦人嗎？
13:22 你若心裡說：這一切事為何臨到我呢？你的衣襟揭起，你的腳跟受傷，是因你的罪孽甚多。
13:23 古實人豈能改變皮膚呢？豹豈能改變斑點呢？若能，你們這習慣行惡的便能行善了。
13:24 所以我必用曠野的風吹散他們，像吹過的碎秸一樣。
13:25 耶和華說：這是你所當得的，是我量給你的分；因為你忘記我，倚靠虛假（或譯：偶像）。
13:26 所以我要揭起你的衣襟，蒙在你臉上，顯出你的醜陋。
13:27 你那些可憎惡之事─就是在田野的山上行姦淫，發嘶聲，做淫亂的事─我都看見了。耶路撒冷啊，你有禍了！你不肯潔淨，還要到幾時呢？

13:20 Lift
up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that
was given you, your beautiful flock?
13:21 What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
13:22 If you say in your heart, Why are these things come on me? for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
13:24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.
13:25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says Yahweh; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
13:26 Therefore will I also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.
13:27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! you will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?

這是上帝透過先知呼籲猶大的百姓要悔改的聲音，因為上帝是恨惡罪的，若是人沉溺罪中不肯出來，最後的結局就是滅亡，也就是承受上帝永遠的憤怒，那是所謂的地獄火湖，那裏的火是不滅、蟲是不死的，是永無止盡的痛苦！
然而上帝不願意人沉溺在這樣的罪中，所以設立救恩，透過耶穌基督來拯救！上帝的拯救是藉由耶穌基督這位道成肉身的主，藉由十字架的死，來承擔上帝對人罪惡的懲罰，使信靠他的人不再受永死之苦，享受永生福樂，不僅如此，還與祂一同做王直到永遠！
那我們如何可以享受到這樣的恩典呢？就是要順從聖靈的引導，讓聖靈來光照我們的生命狀態，使我們知道我們確確實實需要這個救恩，並且需要認識自己從前是遠離上帝，需要透過耶穌基督來與上帝建立和宜和正確的關係，然後在基督裡尊上帝為大，照聖經的教導來生活，離棄過去沒有以上帝為大的自我中心思想，使自己成為凡事以上帝為主的生活方式，正如主日禮拜的是屬乎上帝的，就要歸上帝為聖，我們的工作是上帝的聖召，就要服事上帝的心來工作。
我們信靠耶穌之後，上帝必定會讓聖靈的工作在我們身上，是我們成為榮耀上帝的器皿！
