1:9 [hgb]  尼 尼 微 人 哪 ， 设 何 谋 攻 击 耶 和 华 呢 ？ 他 必 将 你 们 灭 绝 净 尽 。 灾 难 不 再 兴 起 。 
    [kjv]  What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
    [bbe]  What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
1:10 [hgb]  你 们 像 丛 杂 的 荆 棘 ， 像 喝 醉 了 的 人 ， 又 如 枯 干 的 碎 秸 全 然 烧 灭 。

    [kjv]  Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted¹⁰ thee, I will afflict⁷ thee no more.
    [bbe]  This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
1:13 [hgb]  现 在 我 必 从 你 颈 项 上 折 断 他 的 轭 ， 扭 开 他 的 绳 索 。 
    [kjv]  For now will I break his yoke¹¹ from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder¹².
    [bbe]  And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
1:14 [hgb]  耶 和 华 已 经 出 令 ， 指 着 尼 尼 微 说 ， 你 名 下 的 人 必 不 留 后 。 我 必 从 你 神 的 庙 中 ， 除 灭 雕 刻 的 偶 像 ， 和 铸 造 的 偶 像 。 我 必 因 你 鄙 陋 ， 使 你 归 于 坟 墓 。 
    [kjv]  And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile¹³.
    [bbe]  The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
1:15 [hgb]  看 哪 ， 有 报 好 信 传 平 安 之 人 的 脚 登 山 ， 说 ， 犹 大 阿 ， 可 以 守 你 的 节 期 ， 还 你 所 许 的 愿 吧 。 因 为 那 恶 人 不 再 从 你 中 间 经 过 。 他 已 灭 绝 净 尽 了 。
