Verse
KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
I will
stand upon
my
watch
, and set
me
upon
the
tower
, and will
watch to see what he will
say
unto
me, and what I shall
answer
when
I
am
reproved
.
On
my
charge
I stand, and I
station
myself
on
a
bulwark
, and I
watch to see what He doth
speak
against
me, and what I do
reply
to
my
reproof
.
And the
LORD
answered
me ,
and said,
Write the
vision, and make
it
plain
upon
tables, that he may run that
readeth
it.
And Jehovah
answereth
me and saith:
`
Write a
vision, and explain
on
the
tables, That he may run who
is
reading
it.
For the vision is yet
for an
appointed
time
, but
at
the end it
shall
speak
, and not lie :
though
it tarry, wait for it ;
because
it
will
surely come
, it will
not tarry
.
For yet
the vision `
is '
for a
season
, And
it
breatheth
for
the end, and doth
not lie ,
If
it tarry, wait for it ,
For
surely it
cometh
, it is
not late
.
Behold
, his
soul
which
is
lifted
up
is
not upright in
him :
but
the just
shall
live
by his faith
.
Lo
, a
presumptuous
one!
Not upright is
his
soul
within
him ,
And
the righteous
by his stedfastness
liveth
.
Yea
also, because he
transgresseth
by
wine ,
he
is a proud
man, neither
keepeth
at home, who enlargeth
his
desire
as hell
, and is as death ,
and
cannot
be
satisfied, but
gathereth
unto him
all nations, and heapeth
unto him
all people:
And
also, because the
wine `
is '
treacherous,
A man is
haughty
, and
remaineth
not
at home, Who hath
enlarged
as sheol
his
soul
, And is as death that
is
not
satisfied, And
doth
gather
unto itself
all the
nations, And doth
assemble
unto itself
all the
peoples,
Shall
not all
these take
up
a
parable
against him, and a taunting
proverb
against
him, and say, Woe
to him that
increaseth
that
which
is not his !
how
long
? and
to him
that
ladeth
himself with
thick
clay!
Do
not these --
all
of
them
--
against him a
simile
taken
up
, And a moral
of
acute
sayings
for
him, And say, Wo
`
to '
him who
is multiplying
`what
is'
not his? Till
when
also
is
he
multiplying
to himself heavy
pledges?
Shall
they
not rise up suddenly
that
shall
bite
thee
, and awake
that
shall
vex
thee, and thou shalt
be
for booties
unto
them?
Do
not thy
usurers
instantly
rise up, And those
shaking
thee awake
up
, And thou hast
been
for a
spoil
to
them?
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people
shall
spoil
thee;
because of men's
blood, and for
the
violence
of the land, of
the city, and of
all that
dwell
therein
.
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil
thee
do
all the remnant of the peoples,
Because of man's
blood, and of violence
`to'
the land, `To'
the city, and `to'
all dwelling
in
it
.
Woe
to him that
coveteth
an
evil covetousness
to
his house, that
he
may
set his
nest
on high, that
he
may
be delivered from the power
of evil !
Wo
`
to '
him who
is
gaining
evil gain
for
his house, To
set on high his
nest
, To
be delivered from the hand
of evil ,
Thou hast consulted
shame
to thy house by
cutting
off many people
, and hast
sinned
against
thy soul.
Thou hast counselled
a
shameful
thing
to thy house ,
To
cut
off many peoples
, and sinful
`is'
thy soul.
For the
stone shall
cry
out
of
the wall, and the
beam
out
of
the timber
shall
answer
it.
For a
stone from
the wall doth
cry
out
, And a
holdfast
from
the wood
answereth
it.
Woe
to him that
buildeth
a town
with
blood, and stablisheth
a city by iniquity !
Wo
`
to '
him who
is
building
a city
by
blood, And establishing
a city by iniquity .
Behold
, is it not of
the
LORD
of hosts that
the
people
shall
labour
in
the
very
fire, and the
people
shall
weary
themselves
for very
vanity?
Lo
, is it not from
Jehovah
of Hosts And
peoples
are
fatigued
for
fire, And nations
for vanity are
weary
?
For the earth shall
be
filled
with
the knowledge of the glory
of the
LORD
, as the
waters cover the sea.
For full
is
the earth of
the knowledge of the honour
of Jehovah
, As waters cover `
the bottom
of'
a
sea.
Woe
unto
him that
giveth
his neighbour drink
, that
puttest
thy bottle to
him
, and makest
him
drunken
also, that
thou
mayest
look on their nakedness !
Wo
`to'
him who
is
giving
drink
to
his neighbour, Pouring
out
thy bottle, and also making
drunk
, In
order
to
look on their nakedness .
Thou art
filled with
shame for
glory:
drink thou also, and let
thy
foreskin
be uncovered:
the cup of the LORD's
right hand shall
be
turned
unto
thee
, and shameful spewing shall
be
on thy
glory
.
Thou hast
been
filled --
shame without
honour,
Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised,
Turn
round
unto
thee
doth
the cup of the right hand of
Jehovah
, And shameful spewing `is'
on thine
honour
.
For the
violence of
Lebanon shall
cover thee, and the
spoil of beasts ,
which
made
them afraid
, because of men's
blood, and for
the
violence
of the land, of
the city, and of
all that
dwell
therein
.
For violence `to'
Lebanon doth
cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth
affright
them, Because of man's
blood, and of violence
`to'
the land, `To'
the city, and `to'
all dwelling
in
it
.
What profiteth
the
graven image that the
maker
thereof
hath graven it ;
the
molten image ,
and a
teacher of lies
, that the maker
of
his work
trusteth
therein,
to make dumb idols?
What profit
hath
a
graven image given
That its
former
hath graven it ?
A
molten image and teacher of falsehood
, That trusted
hath
the former
on
his own
formation
--
to make dumb idols?
Woe
unto
him that
saith
to the
wood, Awake ;
to the
dumb stone, Arise,
it shall
teach
! Behold
, it is laid
over
with
gold and silver, and there is no breath
at
all
in the
midst of
it
.
Wo
`to'
him who
is
saying
to wood, `
Awake ,'
`Stir
up,'
to a
dumb stone, It a
teacher
! lo
, it is overlaid
--
gold and silver, And there is no spirit
in its
midst.
But
the
LORD
is in his holy temple :
let
all the earth keep
silence
before
him.
And
Jehovah
`
is '
in His holy temple ,
Be
silent
before
Him,
all the earth !
