Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
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 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
.
And Jehovah
answereth
me and saith:
`
Write a
vision, and explain
on
the
tables, That he may run who
is
reading
it.
And the
LORD
answered
me ,
and said,
Write the
vision, and make
it
plain
upon
tables, that he may run that
readeth
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 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
.
Lo
, a
presumptuous
one!
Not
upright
is
his soul within
him ,
And
the righteous
by his stedfastness
liveth
.
Behold
, his soul which
is
lifted
up
is
not
upright
in
him :
but
the just
shall
live
by his 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,
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:
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
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 thy
usurers
instantly
rise up, And those
shaking
thee
awake up
, And thou hast
been
for a
spoil
to
them?
Shall
they
not rise up suddenly
that
shall
bite
thee
, and awake that
shall
vex
thee
, and thou shalt
be
for booties
unto
them?
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 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
.
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 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 !
Thou hast counselled
a
shameful
thing
to thy house ,
To
cut
off many peoples
, and sinful
`is'
thy soul.
Thou hast consulted
shame
to thy house by
cutting
off many people
, and hast
sinned
against
thy soul.
For a
stone
from
the wall
doth
cry out, And a
holdfast
from
the wood
answereth
it.
For the stone
shall
cry out of
the
wall
, and the beam
out
of
the
timber
shall
answer
it.
Wo
`
to '
him who
is
building
a city
by
blood, And establishing
a city by iniquity .
Woe
to him that
buildeth
a town
with
blood, and stablisheth
a city by iniquity !
Lo
, is it not from
Jehovah
of Hosts And
peoples
are
fatigued
for
fire, And nations
for vanity are
weary
?
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?
For full
is
the earth of
the knowledge of the honour
of Jehovah
, As waters cover `
the bottom
of'
a
sea.
For the earth shall
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
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 !
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
.
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
.
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 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
.
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 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?
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
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
.
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 keep
silence
before
him.
