New International Version (NIV)

22Now stop your mocking,

or your chains will become heavier;

the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me

of the destruction decreed against the whole land.

22And now do not carry on as scoffers,

Or your shackles will be made stronger;

For I have heard from the Lord 28:22 Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGod of armies

Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

22And now do not carry on as scoffers,

Or your fetters will be made stronger;

For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts

Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

22Now do not carry on as scoffers,

Or the bands which bind you will be made stronger;

For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts [a decree]

Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

22So now, do not mock,

or your shackles will become heavier.

Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts

a decree of destruction against the whole land.

Listen and Hear

22Now stop making fun of me.

If you don’t, your chains will become heavier.

The Lord who rules over all has spoken to me.

The Lord has told me he has ordered that the whole land be destroyed.
