66你的性命必懸懸無定；你晝夜恐懼，自料性命難保。
67'In the morning you shall say, 'Would that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Would that it were morning!' because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you will see.
67你因心裡所恐懼的，眼中所看見的，早晨必說，巴不得到晚上才好；晚上必說，巴不得到早晨才好。
68'The LORD will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, 'You will never see it again!' And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.'
68耶和華必使你坐船回埃及去，走我曾告訴你不得再見的路；在那裡你必賣己身與仇敵作奴婢，卻無人買。
