Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
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
.
I will
stand at
my
guard
post
and station myself on the
ramparts.
I will
watch to see what He will
say
to
me, and how
I should
answer
when
corrected
.
And
Jehovah
answereth
me and
saith
: `
Write a
vision ,
and explain
on the
tables
, That he
may run who
is
reading
it.
Then
the
LORD
answered
me: “
Write down
this
vision and clearly
inscribe
it
on tablets
, so
that a
herald
may run with
it.
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
.
For the vision awaits
an
appointed
time;
it testifies
of
the end and does
not lie .
Though
it lingers
, wait for it, since
it will
surely
come
and
will
not delay
.
Lo,
a
presumptuous
one !
Not
upright
is
his soul within
him,
And
the righteous by his
stedfastness
liveth.
Look
at
the
proud
one ;
his soul is
not
upright
—
but
the righteous will
live
by faith
—
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 ,
and wealth
indeed
betrays
him.
He
is an
arrogant
man never
at rest.
He
enlarges
his appetite
like
Sheol
, and like
Death ,
he
is never
satisfied .
He
gathers
all the nations to
himself
and collects
all the peoples as
his
own.
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
?
Will
not all of these
take
up a taunt
against
him, speaking
with
mockery
and derision:
‘Woe
to him who amasses
what is not his and
makes
himself rich
with
many
loans!
How
long
will
this
go
on
? ’
Do
not thy
usurers
instantly
rise
up,
And those shaking
thee
awake
up,
And
thou
hast
been
for
a
spoil
to
them
?
Will
not your
creditors
suddenly
arise
and those who
disturb
you
awaken
? Then
you
will
become
their
prey.
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
.
Because you
have
plundered
many nations, the remnant of the people
will
plunder
you—
because of your
bloodshed
against
man
and your
violence against
the land, the city, and all their
dwellers
.
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,
Woe
to him who builds
his house by
unjust
gain
, to place
his nest on
high
and
escape
the hand of disaster!
Thou
hast
counselled
a
shameful
thing
to
thy
house ,
To
cut
off many peoples ,
and sinful
`is'
thy
soul
.
You
have
plotted
shame
for
your
house by
cutting
off many peoples and forfeiting
your
life
.
For a
stone
from
the wall
doth
cry out, And a
holdfast
from
the wood
answereth
it.
For the stones
will
cry out from
the
wall
, and the rafters
will
echo
it from
the
woodwork
.
Wo
`
to '
him who is
building
a city by
blood,
And establishing
a city
by iniquity .
Woe
to him who builds
a city with
bloodshed
and establishes
a town
by iniquity !
Lo,
is it not from Jehovah
of Hosts And
peoples
are
fatigued
for
fire, And nations for
vanity
are
weary?
Is it not indeed
from the
LORD
of Hosts that
the
labor
of
the
people
only
feeds
the
fire, and the
nations weary themselves
in
vain
?
For full
is
the earth of
the knowledge of the honour
of Jehovah,
As waters cover `
the bottom
of'
a
sea.
For the earth will
be
filled
with
the knowledge of the glory
of the
LORD
as the
waters cover the sea.
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 .
Woe
to him who gives
drink to his neighbors
, pouring it
from
the
wineskin
until
they
are
drunk, in order to gaze
at
their nakedness !
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
.
You
will
be
filled with
shame instead
of
glory.
You
too
must
drink and expose
your
uncircumcision!
The cup in
the LORD’s
right hand will
come
around
to
you
, and utter
disgrace
will
cover
your
glory
.
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
.
For your
violence against
Lebanon will
overwhelm
you
, and the
destruction
of animals
will
terrify
you
, because of your
bloodshed
against
men
and your
violence against
the land, the city, and all their
dwellers
.
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 ?
What use
is
an
idol,
that a craftsman
should
carve
it—
or
an
image ,
a
teacher of lies?
For
its
maker
trusts
in
his own creation;
he
makes
idols that
cannot
speak.
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
.
Woe
to him who says
to wood, ‘
Awake !’
or
to silent
stone, ‘Arise
! ’
Can
it
give
guidance?
Behold
, it is overlaid with
gold and silver, yet
there is no breath
in it
at
all
. ”
And
Jehovah
`
is '
in His holy temple ,
Be silent before Him ,
all
the
earth!
But
the
LORD
is in His holy temple ;
let
all
the
earth
be silent before Him .
