地上虔诚人灭尽，世间没有正直人，各人埋伏要杀人流血，都用网罗猎取弟兄。

The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

世上有一件虚空的事，就是义人所遭遇的，反照恶人所行的；又有恶人所遭遇的，反照义人所行的。我说，这也是虚空。

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

何况恶人将义人杀在他的床上，我岂不向你们讨流他血的罪，从世上除灭你们呢？”

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

且吩咐将这歌教导犹大人。这歌名叫弓歌，写在雅煞珥书上。

(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

于是日头停留，月亮止住，直等国民向敌人报仇。这事岂不是写在雅煞珥书上吗？日头在天当中停住，不急速下落，约有一日之久。

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
