YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
`
Son of man, prophesy concerning
the prophets of Israel who
are
prophesying
, and thou hast
said
to
those
prophesying
from
their own heart:
Hear ye a
word of Jehovah:
Son of man, prophesy against
the prophets of Israel that
prophesy
, and say
thou unto
them
that
prophesy
out
of
their own hearts,
Hear ye the
word of the
LORD;
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Wo
unto the prophets
who
are
foolish, Who
are
going
after
their own spirit, And they
have seen nothing .
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Woe
unto the foolish prophets
, that
follow
their own spirit, and have seen nothing !
As
foxes
in
the
wastes,
Thy
prophets,
O Israel, have
been
.
O Israel, thy
prophets
are
like
the
foxes
in
the
deserts
.
Ye have not gone up into breaches
, Nor
do
ye
make
a
fence
for the house of Israel ,
To stand in battle in a
day of Jehovah
.
Ye have not gone up into the
gaps
, neither
made
up
the
hedge
for the house of Israel to stand in the
battle in the
day of the
LORD
.
They have seen vanity ,
and lying divination, Who
are
saying :
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And Jehovah
hath not sent them ,
And they have hoped
to establish
a
word.
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The
LORD
saith:
and the
LORD
hath not sent them :
and they have made
others
to hope
that
they
would
confirm
the
word.
A
vain
vision
have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken
, When
ye say :
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have not spoken?
Have ye not seen a
vain
vision
, and have
ye
not
spoken
a lying divination, whereas
ye say, The
LORD
saith
it;
albeit
I have not spoken?
Therefore ,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a
lie
, Therefore, lo
, I `
am '
against you, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies
, therefore, behold
, I am against you, saith
the Lord GOD
.
And My
hand hath
been
on
the prophets ,
Who
are
seeing
vanity, and who
are
divining
a
lie,
In the assembly of My people they
are
not
, And
in the writing of the house of Israel they
are
not
written
, And
unto
the ground
of Israel they
come
not,
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
the Lord Jehovah
.
And mine
hand shall
be
upon
the prophets that
see
vanity, and that
divine
lies:
they
shall
not
be
in the assembly of my people, neither
shall
they
be
written
in the writing of the house of Israel, neither
shall
they
enter
into
the land
of Israel ;
and ye shall
know
that I am the Lord GOD
.
Because, even because ,
they did
cause
My people to
err
, Saying, Peace !
and there is
no peace ,
And that
one is
building
a wall, And lo, they
are
daubing
it with chalk.
Because, even because they have
seduced
my people, saying, Peace ;
and there was
no peace ;
and one built
up
a wall, and ,
lo, others
daubed
it with untempered
morter:
Say to
those
daubing
with
chalk
--
It falleth
, There hath
been
an overflowing shower ,
And ye, O hailstones, do
fall ,
And a tempestuous
wind doth
rend ,
Say unto
them
which
daub
it with
untempered
morter
, that
it
shall
fall:
there shall
be
an overflowing shower ;
and ye, O great
hailstones, shall
fall ;
and a stormy
wind shall
rend it.
And
lo, fallen
hath
the wall !
Doth
not one
say
unto you, Where `
is '
the daubing that
ye daubed?
Lo, when
the wall is
fallen,
shall
it
not be
said
unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith
ye have
daubed it
?
Therefore ,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
I have
rent
with a tempestuous
wind in My fury ,
And an overflowing shower is
in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury --
to consume.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD;
I will
even
rend
it
with a stormy
wind in my fury ;
and there
shall
be
an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great
hailstones in my fury to consume it
.
And
I have
broken
down the wall that ye daubed with chalk
, And have
caused
it to come
unto
the earth
, And
revealed
hath
been
its
foundation, And it hath
fallen
, And ye have
been
consumed in its
midst ,
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
So
will
I break
down the wall that ye have
daubed with untempered
morter
, and bring
it down
to the ground
, so
that
the
foundation thereof
shall
be
discovered
, and it shall
fall
, and ye shall
be
consumed in the
midst thereof:
and ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
.
And
I have
completed
My wrath on
the wall, And on
those
daubing
it with chalk
, And I
say to
you :
The wall is not
, And
those
daubing
it are
not
;
Thus
will
I accomplish
my wrath upon
the wall, and upon
them
that
have
daubed
it with untempered
morter
, and will
say unto
you ,
The wall is no
more
, neither
they
that
daubed
it;
The prophets of Israel who
are
prophesying
concerning Jerusalem, And who
are
seeing
for
her
a
vision
of peace, And there is no peace, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
To
wit,
the prophets of Israel which
prophesy
concerning Jerusalem, and which
see
visions
of peace for
her
, and there is no peace, saith
the Lord GOD
.
And
thou
, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who
are
prophesying
out of their own heart ,
and prophesy concerning
them,
Likewise
, thou
son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which
prophesy
out of their own heart ;
and prophesy thou
against
them,
And thou
hast
said:
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Wo
to those
sowing
pillows for
all joints
of
the
arm
, And to
those
making
the
kerchiefs For
the head of every stature --
to hunt souls ,
The
souls
do
ye hunt of My people ?
And the souls ye
have
do
ye
keep
alive?
And say,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Woe
to the
women
that
sew
pillows to
all armholes
, and make
kerchiefs upon
the head of every stature to hunt souls !
Will
ye hunt the
souls
of my people ,
and will
ye
save
the souls alive that
come
unto
you
?
Yea,
ye pierce
Me concerning
My people ,
For handfuls of barley ,
And for pieces of bread, to put
to
death
Souls that should not die, And to keep
alive
souls that should not live, By your lying to My people --
hearkening
to
lies .
And
will
ye pollute
me among
my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay
the
souls that should not die, and to save
the
souls alive
that should not live, by your lying to my people that
hear
your
lies ?
Therefore,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Lo
, I `
am '
against your pillows, With
which
ye are
hunting
there the souls of
the
flourishing
, And I have
rent
them from off
your arms, And have
sent
away
the souls that
ye
are
hunting
, The souls of
the
flourishing
.
Wherefore
thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold
, I am against your pillows, wherewith
ye there hunt
the souls to
make
them
fly
, and I will
tear
them from your arms, and will
let
the souls go
, even
the souls that
ye
hunt
to
make
them
fly
.
And
I
have
torn
your kerchiefs, And delivered
My people out of your hand, And they are
no more in your hand for
a
prey,
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
Your kerchiefs also
will
I
tear
, and deliver
my people out of your hand, and they shall
be
no more in your hand to
be
hunted;
and ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
.
Because of
paining
the heart of the righteous with
falsehood
, And
I have not pained
it,
And strengthening
the hands of the wicked, So
as
not to
turn
back
from his evil
way, To
keep
him alive,
Because with
lies
ye
have
made
the heart of the righteous sad
, whom
I have not made
sad;
and strengthened
the hands of the wicked, that
he
should
not return
from his wicked
way, by
promising
him life:
Therefore ,
vanity
ye do
not
see, And
divination
ye
do
not
divine again,
And
I have
delivered
My people out of your hand ,
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah!'
Therefore ye shall
see no
more
vanity
, nor
divine divinations:
for
I will
deliver
my people out of your hand :
and ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD.
