Young's Literal Translation
Israel
is
an empty vine, he
bringeth
forth
fruit unto
himself :
according to the multitude
of his fruit he hath increased
the altars ;
according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images
.
`
An empty vine `is'
Israel
, Fruit he
maketh
like
to
himself ,
According to the abundance
of his fruit ,
He hath multiplied
for
the altars ,
According to the goodness of his land ,
They have made goodly standing-pillars
.
Their heart is
divided ;
now shall
they be
found
faulty:
he shall
break down their altars, he shall
spoil
their images
.
Their heart hath
been
divided ,
now they are
guilty,
He doth
break down their altars, He doth
destroy
their standing-pillars
.
For now they shall
say ,
We have no king, because we feared
not the LORD;
what
then
should
a
king do
to
us?
For now they say :
We have no king, Because we have
not feared
Jehovah,
And
the king --
what
doth
he
for
us?

falsely
in making a covenant :
thus
judgment
springeth
up
as hemlock
in
the furrows of the
field.

swear
falsehood
in making a covenant ,
And
flourished
as a
poisonous

The inhabitants
of Samaria
shall
fear because
of the
calves
of Bethaven:
for
the
people
thereof
shall
mourn
over
it, and the
priests thereof
that
rejoiced
on it ,
for
the
glory
thereof
, because it is
departed
from it .
For
the calves
of Beth-Aven
fear do
inhabitants

about
, Because of
its
honour,
for
it hath
removed
from it ,
It
shall
be
also carried unto
Assyria
for
a present to king Jareb:
Ephraim shall
receive shame
, and Israel
shall
be
ashamed of his
own counsel.
Also it
to
Asshur
is
carried ,
a present to a
warlike
king ,
Shame
doth
Ephraim receive, And ashamed is
Israel
of its
own counsel.
As
for
Samaria ,
her
king is cut
off
as the foam
upon
the water

Samaria !

as a
chip
on
the face
of
the waters
.
The
high places also
of Aven, the sin of Israel ,
shall
be
destroyed:

up on their altars ;
and they shall
say
to the
mountains
, Cover us ;
and to the
hills
, Fall on
us.
And
destroyed
have

us.
O
Israel,
thou
hast
sinned
from the days of Gibeah :
there they stood :
the
battle
in
Gibeah
against
the
children
of
iniquity
did
not overtake them.
From the days of Gibeah thou
hast
sinned,
O
Israel,
There they have
stood ,
Not overtake them in
Gibeah

battle,
Because
of
sons
of
perverseness
.
It
is
in
my
desire that
I should
chastise
them ;
and the
people
shall
be
gathered against them, when they shall
bind themselves in
their two furrows
.
When
I
desire ,
then
I do
bind
them ,
And gathered against them have
peoples
, When they bind themselves to
their two iniquities
.
And Ephraim is as
an
heifer that
is
taught
, and loveth
to
tread
out
the
corn;
but
I passed over upon
her
fair
neck :
I will
make
Ephraim
to ride ;
Judah shall
plow
, and
Jacob shall
break
his
clods
.
And Ephraim `
is '
a
trained
heifer --
loving
to
thresh
, And I --
I
have
passed over on
the
goodness
of
its
neck ,
I cause
`one'
to ride Ephraim,
Plough
doth
Judah, harrow
for
him
doth
Jacob.
Sow to
yourselves in righteousness, reap in
mercy;
break
up
your
fallow
ground:
for it
is
time
to seek the
LORD
, till he come and rain
righteousness upon
you.
Sow for
yourselves in righteousness, Reap according
to
loving-kindness,
Till
for yourselves
tillage

Ye have plowed
wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity;
ye have eaten the fruit of lies:
because
thou didst
trust
in thy way, in the multitude
of thy mighty
men
.
Ye have ploughed
wickedness, Perversity
ye have reaped ,
Ye have eaten the fruit of lying,
For
thou hast
trusted
in thy way, In the abundance
of thy might
.
Therefore
shall
a tumult arise
among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall
be
spoiled, as Shalman spoiled
Betharbel
in the
day of battle :
the
mother was
dashed in pieces upon
her
children
.
And
rise
doth
a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses are
spoiled, As the
spoiling
of
Shalman of
Beth-Arbel,
In a
day of battle ,
Mother against
sons
dashed in pieces.
So
shall
Bethel
do
unto
you because of your great
wickedness :
in a
morning
shall
the king of Israel utterly
be
cut
off.
Thus
hath
Beth-El
done
to
you ,
Because of the
evil
of
your wickedness ,
In the dawn
cut
off
utterly
is
a
king of Israel !
