Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
come
in
unto
me
do
certain of the elders of Israel, and sit
before me.
Then
came
certain of the elders of Israel unto
me
, and sat
before me.
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
`
Son of man, these men have caused
their idols to
go
up
on
their heart, and the stumbling-block
of their iniquity they
have
put
over-against
their faces;
am
I inquired
of at all by them?
Son of man, these men have set
up
their idols in
their heart, and put
the stumblingblock
of their iniquity before
their face:
should
I be
enquired
of at all by them?
`
Therefore ,
speak with
them, and thou
hast
said
unto them :
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Every one
of the house of Israel who
causeth
his idols to
go
up
unto
his heart, and the stumbling-block
of his iniquity setteth
over-against
his face, and hath
gone
in
unto
the prophet --
I Jehovah
have
given
an
answer to
him for
this,
for
the abundance
of his idols ,
Therefore speak unto
them, and say
unto them ,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Every man
of the house of Israel that
setteth
up
his idols in
his heart, and putteth
the stumblingblock
of his iniquity before
his face, and cometh
to
the prophet ;
I the
LORD
will
answer him that
cometh
according
to
the multitude
of his idols ;
in
order
to
catch
the house of Israel by
their heart, in
that
they have
become
estranged from off
me by
their idols --
all
of
them
.
That
I
may
take
the house of Israel in
their own
heart, because
they are
all
estranged from me through
their idols.
`
Therefore say unto the house of Israel :
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Turn
ye
back,
yea
, turn ye
back
from your idols ,
and from all your abominations turn
back
your
faces,
Therefore say unto the house of Israel ,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Repent
, and
turn yourselves
from your idols ;
and turn
away
your
faces
from all your abominations .
for every one of the house of Israel, and
of the sojourners
who
doth
sojourn
in Israel, who
is
separated
from after
Me, and doth
cause
his idols to
go
up
unto
his heart, and the stumbling-block
of his iniquity setteth
over-against
his face, and hath
come
in
unto
the
prophet to inquire
of him concerning Me ,
I ,
Jehovah,
have
answered
him for
Myself ;
For every one of the house of Israel, or
of the stranger
that
sojourneth
in Israel, which
separateth
himself
from me, and setteth
up
his idols in
his heart, and putteth
the stumblingblock
of his iniquity before
his face, and cometh
to
a
prophet to enquire
of him concerning me ;
I the
LORD
will
answer
him by
myself :
and I have
set My face against that man, and made
him for
a sign ,
and for
similes
, and I have
cut him off from the midst of My people ,
and ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
And I will
set my face against that man, and will
make
him a sign and a
proverb
, and I will
cut him off from the midst of my people ;
and ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
.
`
And the prophet ,
when he is
enticed,
and
hath spoken a word
--
I,
Jehovah
, I have enticed
that prophet, and have
stretched
out My hand against
him, and have
destroyed
him from the midst of My people Israel.
And if
the prophet be
deceived
when he hath spoken a thing
, I the
LORD
have deceived
that prophet, and I
will
stretch
out my hand upon
him, and will
destroy
him from the midst of my people Israel.
And they have
borne
their iniquity: as
the iniquity
of the inquirer,
so
is
the iniquity
of the
prophet
;
And they shall
bear
the
punishment
of
their iniquity: the punishment
of the prophet
shall
be
even
as
the punishment
of him
that
seeketh
unto
him
;
so
that the house of Israel do
not
wander
any
more from after
Me, nor
are
defiled
any more with all their transgressions ,
and
they have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, and I am
to
them
for
God --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
. '
That the house of Israel may
go
no
more astray
from me, neither
be
polluted
any more with all their transgressions ;
but
that
they may
be
my
people, and I may
be
their
God ,
saith
the Lord GOD
.
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
The
word of the
LORD
came
again
to
me, saying,
`
Son of man, the land --
when
it
sinneth against Me to
commit
a
trespass
, and
I have
stretched
out My
hand against
it, and broken
for
it
the staff of bread, and sent
into
it
famine, and cut off from
it
man and beast --
Son of man, when
the land sinneth against me by
trespassing
grievously
, then
will
I stretch
out mine
hand upon
it, and will
break
the staff of the
bread thereof
, and will
send
famine upon
it
, and will
cut off man and beast from
it:
and
these three men have
been
in
its
midst
, Noah, Daniel, and Job --
they by
their
righteousness
deliver their own soul
--
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
Though
these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job ,
were
in
it,
they should
deliver but
their own souls
by
their
righteousness,
saith
the Lord GOD
.
`
If an
evil
beast
I cause to pass through the land, and it hath
bereaved
, and
it hath
been
a
desolation
, without
any
passing
through because of the beast
--
If I cause noisome
beasts
to pass through the land, and they
spoil
it, so
that
it be
desolate
, that
no
man
may
pass
through because of the beasts:
these three men in its
midst:
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
--
neither sons nor daughters do
they
deliver
; they alone
are
delivered, and
the land is
a
desolation
.
Though
these three men were
in it,
as
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD,
they
shall
deliver
neither sons nor daughters; they only
shall
be
delivered, but
the land shall
be
desolate
.
`
Or --
a
sword
I bring in
against
that land, and I
have
said:
Sword, thou
dost
pass
over
through the land ,
and
I have
cut off from
it
man and beast --
Or if
I bring a
sword
upon
that land, and say,
Sword, go
through the land ;
so
that
I cut off man and beast from
it:
and
these three men in its
midst:
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
--
they deliver not
sons and
daughters, for
they alone
are
delivered.
Though
these three men were
in it,
as
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD,
they shall
deliver neither
sons nor
daughters, but
they only
shall
be
delivered themselves
.
`
Or --
pestilence
I send unto
that land, and I
have
poured
out My fury against
it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast --
Or if
I send a
pestilence
into
that land, and pour
out my fury upon
it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast :
and
Noah, Daniel, and Job ,
in its
midst:
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
--
neither son nor daughter do
they
deliver
; they ,
by
their
righteousness,
deliver their own soul
.
Though
Noah, Daniel, and Job were
in it,
as
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD,
they
shall
deliver
neither son nor daughter; they shall
but
deliver their own souls
by
their
righteousness
.
`
For thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Although
My four sore judgments --
sword, and famine, and wild
beast, and pestilence --
I
have
sent
unto
Jerusalem
, to cut off from it man and beast ,
For thus saith
the Lord GOD;
How
much
more
when
I
send
my four sore judgments upon
Jerusalem,
the
sword, and the
famine, and the
noisome
beast, and the
pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast ?
yet, lo
, there
hath
been
left in
it
an
escape,
who
are
brought forth, sons and daughters ,
lo
, they are
coming
forth unto you, and ye have
seen
their way ,
and their doings ,
and have
been
comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in
against
Jerusalem, all that which
I have brought in
against
it.
Yet, behold
, therein
shall
be
left a
remnant
that
shall
be
brought forth, both
sons and daughters :
behold
, they shall
come
forth unto you, and ye shall
see
their way and their doings :
and ye
shall
be
comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon
Jerusalem, even
concerning
all that I have brought upon
it.
And they have
comforted
you, for
ye see their way
and their doings ,
and ye have
known
that not
for
nought
have
I done all that which
I have done in her
--
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
. '
And they shall
comfort
you, when
ye see their ways
and their doings :
and ye shall
know
that I have
not
done without
cause
all that I have done in it,
saith
the Lord GOD
.
