YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
`
Say ye to
your brethren --
Ammi
, And to your sisters --
Ruhamah.
Say ye unto
your brethren, Ammi;
and to your sisters ,
Ruhamah.
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 ,
Plead with your mother, plead:
for she is not my wife, neither
am I
her husband :
let
her therefore
put
away
her
whoredoms out
of
her sight
, and her adulteries from between her breasts ;
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.
Lest I strip her naked ,
and set her as in the day that
she
was
born
, and make
her as a wilderness, and set her like
a dry land, and slay
her with thirst.
And her
sons
I do
not pity,
For sons
of whoredoms `are'
they,
And I will
not have
mercy
upon
her
children;
for they
be
the
children
of whoredoms .
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.
For their mother hath played
the
harlot:
she that
conceived
them
hath done
shamefully:
for
she
said, I will
go after my lovers, that
give
me
my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine
oil and my drink.
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.
Therefore, behold
, I will
hedge
up thy way with thorns, and make
a wall, that
she shall
not find her
paths
.
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.
And she shall
follow
after
her lovers, but
she shall
not overtake them ;
and she
shall
seek
them, but
shall
not find them
: then
shall
she
say,
I will
go and return
to
my first husband ;
for then
was
it
better with
me than now.
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.
For
she did
not know
that I gave
her corn, and wine, and oil, and
multiplied
her silver
and gold ,
which
they prepared for Baal.
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.
Therefore will
I return
, and take
away
my corn in the
time
thereof
, and my wine in the
season
thereof
, and will
recover
my wool and my flax given
to
cover
her nakedness.
And now do
I reveal
her dishonour
before
the eyes
of her lovers, And none doth
deliver her out of My
hand.
And now will
I discover
her lewdness
in
the sight
of her lovers, and none shall
deliver her out of mine
hand.
And
I have
caused
to
cease
all her joy
, Her festival
, her new moon
, and her sabbath
, Even
all her appointed
times,
I will
also
cause
all her mirth
to
cease
, her feast
days
, her new moons
, and her sabbaths
, and
all her solemn
feasts.
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.
And I
will
destroy
her vines
and her fig trees
, whereof
she hath
said, These
are my
rewards
that my lovers have given me :
and I will
make
them a forest, and the
beasts
of the field shall
eat
them
.
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
.
And I will
visit
upon
her the days of Baalim, wherein
she burned
incense
to
them
, and she
decked
herself
with
her earrings
and her jewels
, and she
went
after her lovers, and forgat me,
saith
the
LORD
.
Therefore, lo
, I am
enticing
her, And have
caused
her to
go
to
the wilderness, And I
have
spoken
unto her heart,
Therefore, behold
, I will
allure
her, and bring
her into
the wilderness, and speak
comfortably
unto her .
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.
And I
will
give
her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a
door
of hope :
and she shall
sing
there ,
as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when
she
came
up out of the land of Egypt.
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
.
And it shall
be
at
that day, saith
the
LORD
, that
thou shalt
call me Ishi;
and shalt
call me no
more Baali
.
And
I have
turned
aside
the names of the
lords
from
her mouth, And they are
not
remembered
any
more by their name.
For
I will
take
away
the names of Baalim
out
of
her mouth, and they shall
no
more be
remembered
by their name.
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
.
And in that day will
I
make
a
covenant
for
them
with the beasts
of the field and with the fowls
of heaven
, and with
the creeping things
of the ground :
and I
will
break
the
bow and the
sword and the battle
out
of
the
earth
, and will
make
them to lie down safely
.
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
thee unto
me for
ever;
yea
, I
will
betroth
thee unto
me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in
lovingkindness
, and in
mercies .
And
betrothed
thee to
Me in faithfulness ,
And thou hast
known
Jehovah
.
I
will
even
betroth
thee unto
me in faithfulness :
and thou shalt
know
the
LORD
.
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 it shall
come to pass in that day, I will
hear
, saith
the
LORD,
I will
hear
the heavens, and they shall
hear
the earth ;
And the earth doth
answer
the corn, And the new
wine, and the oil ,
And they answer
Jezreel.
And the earth shall
hear
the corn, and the wine, and the oil ;
and they shall
hear
Jezreel.
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 !'
And I will
sow
her unto
me in the earth;
and I will
have mercy
upon
her
that
had
not
obtained
mercy;
and I will
say
to them
which
were
not
my people ,
Thou art my
people;
and they
shall
say
, Thou
art
my God .
