Young's Literal Translation
“
Say of
your brothers,
‘My
people
, ’
and of
your sisters ,
‘My
loved
one
. ’
`
Say ye
to
your brethren
--
Ammi
, And to
your sisters --
Ruhamah
.
Rebuke
your mother ,
rebuke
her
, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband .
Let
her remove
the
adultery
from her face
and the
unfaithfulness
from between her breasts .
Plead
ye
with
your mother --
plead
, (
For she `
is '
not My wife, and I `
am '
not her husband ,)
And
she
turneth
her whoredoms
from before
her ,
And her
adulteries
from between her breasts ,
Otherwise,
I will
strip her naked and expose
her like
the day of her birth .
I
will
make
her like
a desert
and turn
her into
a parched
land, and I
will
let
her die
of
thirst.
Lest
I strip her naked .
And have
set
her up
as
`in'
the day of her birth ,
And
have
made
her as
a wilderness,
And have
set
her as
a dry
land, And have
put
her to
death
with
thirst.
I
will
have
no
compassion
on
her children
, because
they
are
the
children
of adultery.
And
her sons
I
do
not
pity
, For
sons
of whoredoms
`are'
they,
For their mother has
played
the
harlot
and
has
conceived
them
in
disgrace.
For she thought
, ‘
I will
go after my lovers, who
give
me
bread and water, wool and linen
, oil and drink. ’
For gone
a-whoring
hath
their mother ,
Acted
shamefully
hath
their
conceiver,
For she hath
said
, I go after my lovers, Those
giving
my
bread and my
water, My
wool and my
flax
, my
oil and my
drink.
Therefore, behold
, I will
hedge
up her
path
with thorns ;
I will
enclose
her with
a wall, so
she cannot
find her
way
.
Therefore, lo
, I am
hedging
up thy
way
with thorns ,
And
I have
made
for
her a wall, And
her
paths
she doth
not
find.
She will
pursue
her lovers but
not catch
them ;
she
will
seek
them but
not find them.
Then
she will
say
, ‘
I will
return
to
my first husband, for then
I
was
better off
than now. ’
And
she hath
pursued
her lovers ,
And
she
doth
not overtake
them ,
And
hath
sought
them ,
and
doth
not find ,
And
she hath
said:
I
go
, and
I turn
back
unto
My first husband, For --
better to
me
then
than now.
For
she does
not acknowledge
that it
was
I who
gave
her grain
, new wine, and oil, who
lavished
on
her
silver and gold —
which
they crafted
for Baal.
And
she knew
not that I had
given
to
her, The
corn,
and
the
new wine, and the
oil .
Yea
, silver I
did
multiply
to
her,
And the
gold they prepared
for Baal.
Therefore I will
take
back My grain
in its time
and My new wine in its season;
I will
take
away My wool and linen
, which
were
given
to
cover
her nakedness.
Therefore do
I turn
back ,
And
I
have
taken
My corn
in its season,
And My new wine in its appointed
time,
And
I have
taken
away My wool and My
flax
, covering
her nakedness.
And then
I will
expose
her lewdness
in
the sight
of her lovers, and no
one
will
deliver her out of My hands
.
And now
do
I reveal
her dishonour
before
the eyes
of her lovers, And none
doth
deliver her out of My hand
.
I will
put
an
end
to all her exultation:
her feasts
, New Moons
, and Sabbaths—
all her appointed feasts.
And
I have
caused
to cease
all her joy,
Her festival
, her
new moon
, and her
sabbath,
Even
all her appointed times,
I
will
destroy
her vines
and fig trees
, which she thinks
are the
wages
paid
by
her
lovers .
So
I will
make
them into
a thicket
, and the
beasts
of the field will
devour
them
.
And
made
desolate
her vine
and her
fig -tree
, Of
which she said,
A
gift
they
`
are '
to
me,
That
my
lovers have
given
to
me,
And
I have
made
them for
a forest
, And consumed
them
hath
a
beast
of the field.
I will
punish
her for
the days of the Baals
when
she
burned
incense
to
them
, when
she decked
herself
with
rings
and jewelry
, and went
after her lovers .
But
Me
she
forgot
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
I have
charged
on
her the days of the Baalim
, To
whom
she maketh
perfume,
And putteth
on
her
ring
and
her
ornament
, And goeth
after her lovers, And
Me
forgat
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“
Therefore, behold
, I will
allure
her and lead
her to the wilderness, and speak
to
her tenderly.
Therefore, lo
, I am
enticing
her ,
And have
caused
her to go
to
the wilderness, And I
have
spoken
unto
her heart,
There
I
will
give
back
her vineyards and make
the Valley of Achor into
a
gateway
of hope .
There
she will
respond
as she
did
in the days of her youth, as in the day she
came
up out of Egypt.
And
given
to
her her
vineyards from
thence,
And the valley of Achor for
an
opening
of hope ,
And
she hath
responded
there
as in the days of her youth, And
as in the day of
her
coming
up out of the
land
of
Egypt.
In that day, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “you
will
call Me ‘
my Husband, ’
and no
longer
call Me ‘
my Master
. ’
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in that day, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Thou
dost
call Me --
My husband, And dost
not
call Me any
more
--
My lord
.
For
I will
remove
from
her
lips
the names of the Baals;
no
longer
will
their names
be
invoked
.
And
I have
turned
aside
the names of the lords
from
her
mouth,
And
they
are
not
remembered
any
more
by
their name
.
On
that
day
I will
make
a covenant for
them
with the beasts
of the field and the birds
of the air
and the creatures
that
crawl
on
the ground .
And I
will
abolish
bow and sword and weapons
of
war in
the land, and will
make
them lie down in
safety
.
And
I have
made
to
them
a covenant in
that
day,
with the beast
of the field ,
And with
the fowl
of the heavens,
And the creeping
thing
of
the ground ,
And bow ,
and sword ,
and war I
break
from
off
the land, And have
caused
them to
lie down confidently
.
So
I will
betroth
you
to Me forever;
I
will
betroth
you
in righteousness and
justice
, in loving
devotion
and compassion.
And
I have
betrothed
thee
to Me to
the
age,
And
betrothed
thee
to
Me
in righteousness, And
in judgment,
and kindness,
and
mercies,
And I
will
betroth
you
in faithfulness, and you
will
know
the
LORD
. ”
And betrothed
thee
to
Me
in faithfulness, And thou
hast
known
Jehovah
.
“On
that day I will
respond—”
declares
the
LORD—
“
I will
respond
to
the heavens, and they will
respond
to
the earth.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass
in
that day ,
I answer
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
I answer
the heavens, and they answer
the earth.
And the earth will
respond
to
the grain
, to
the new wine and oil, and they will
respond
to
Jezreel.
And the earth doth
answer
the corn
, And
the new wine ,
and the
oil, And they answer
Jezreel.
And I will
sow
her as
My
own
in the land, and I will
have compassion
on
‘No
Compassion.’
I will
say
to those
called
‘Not
My
People
, ’
‘You
are
My people, ’
and they
will
say
, ‘You
are
my God .’”
And I have
sowed
her to
Me
in the land, And I have pitied
Lo-Ruhamah,
And
I have
said
to Lo-Ammi
, My people thou
`art'
, and it
saith
, My God !'
