King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Hear the
word of the
LORD
, ye
children
of Israel :
for the
LORD
hath
a controversy
with the
inhabitants of the land, because
there is no truth, nor mercy
, nor knowledge of God in the land .
`
Hear a
word of Jehovah
, sons
of Israel ,
For a strife
`is'
to
Jehovah
with inhabitants of the land, For
there is no truth, nor kindness
, Nor knowledge of God ,
in the land ,
By
swearing, and lying, and killing
, and stealing, and committing adultery ,
they
break
out
, and blood toucheth
blood.
Swearing, and lying, and murdering
, And stealing, and committing adultery --
have
increased
, And blood against
blood hath
touched
.
Therefore shall
the land mourn
, and every one
that
dwelleth
therein
shall
languish
, with the beasts
of the field, and with the fowls
of heaven;
yea
, the fishes of the sea also
shall
be
taken
away
.
Therefore mourn
doth
the land, And weak
is
every dweller
in
it
, With the beast
of the field, And with the fowl
of the
heavens
, And
the fishes of the sea --
they
are
removed
.
Yet
let no man
strive, nor reprove another:
for
thy people are as they
that
strive
with the
priest.
Only,
let no one
strive, nor reprove a
man,
And
thy people `
are '
as those
striving
with a
priest.
Therefore
shalt
thou fall
in the day, and the
prophet
also shall
fall
with thee in the night, and I will
destroy
thy mother.
And
thou hast
stumbled
in the day, And stumbled
hath
also a
prophet
with thee in the night, And I have
cut
off
thy mother.
My people are
destroyed
for lack of knowledge :
because thou hast rejected knowledge
, I will
also
reject thee ,
that
thou
shalt
be
no
priest to me :
seeing
thou hast
forgotten
the law of thy God, I will
also
forget thy children.
Cut
off
have
been
My people for lack of knowledge ,
Because thou knowledge
hast rejected, I reject thee from
being
priest to Me ,
And
thou forgettest
the law of thy God, I forget thy sons,
I
also!
As
they
were
increased,
so they sinned against me :
therefore
will
I
change
their glory
into shame.
According
to
their
abundance
so they sinned against Me ,
Their honour
into shame I
change
.
They
eat
up
the sin of my people, and they
set
their
heart
on
their iniquity.
The sin of My people they
do
eat
, And unto
their iniquity lift
up
their
soul
.
And there
shall
be
, like people, like priest :
and I will
punish
them
for
their
ways, and reward
them
their
doings.
And it
hath
been
, like people, like priest ,
And I have
charged
on
it
its
ways, And its
habitual
doings I
return
to
it
.
For
they shall
eat
, and not have
enough:
they shall
commit
whoredom
, and shall
not
increase :
because
they have left off to
take
heed to the
LORD
.
And
they have
eaten
, and are
not satisfied,
They have
gone
a-whoring
, and increase not,
For
they have left off taking
heed to Jehovah
.
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away
the heart .
Whoredom ,
and wine ,
and new wine ,
take the heart ,
My people ask
counsel
at their
stocks,
and
their
staff declareth unto
them:
for the
spirit of whoredoms hath caused them
to err, and they have
gone
a whoring from under their God.
My people at its
staff asketh
and
its
rod
declareth to
it,
For a
spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go
a -
whoring from under their God.
They
sacrifice
upon
the
tops of the mountains, and burn
incense
upon
the hills, under oaks
and poplars
and elms
, because
the
shadow
thereof
is
good :
therefore
your
daughters
shall
commit
whoredom,
and
your
spouses
shall
commit
adultery
.
On
tops of the mountains they
do
sacrifice
, And on
the hills they
make
perfume
, Under oak,
and poplar,
and terebinth
, For
good `is'
its
shade
.
I will
not punish
your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor
your spouses when they commit adultery :
for themselves
are separated with
whores
, and they
sacrifice
with harlots:
therefore
the people that doth not understand shall
fall
.
Therefore
commit
whoredom
do
your
daughters,
And
your
spouses
commit
adultery,
I do
not see
after
your daughters when they commit whoredom, And
after
your spouses when they commit adultery ,
For they
with
the
harlots
are separated, And with the whores
they
do
sacrifice,
A
people that doth not understand kicketh
.
Though thou, Israel, play
the
harlot,
yet
let not Judah offend;
and come not ye unto
Gilgal, neither
go ye
up to Bethaven
, nor swear, The
LORD
liveth.
Though a
harlot
thou `art'
, O
Israel, Let not Judah become
guilty,
And come not ye in
to
Gilgal, nor
go up to Beth-Aven
, Nor swear ye
, Jehovah
liveth.
For Israel
slideth
back
as a backsliding
heifer :
now the
LORD
will
feed them as a lamb in a large place.
For as a refractory
heifer hath
Israel
turned
aside,
Now doth
Jehovah
feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Ephraim
is
joined to idols :
let him alone.
Joined to idols `is'
Ephraim,
let him alone.
Their drink is
sour:
they have committed
whoredom
continually:
her rulers
with
shame do
love,
Give
ye
.
Sour
`is'
their drink ,
They have gone
diligently
a-whoring,
Her protectors
have
loved
shame thoroughly
.
The
wind
hath
bound
her
up
in
her wings, and they shall
be
ashamed because
of their sacrifices .
Distressed
her hath
wind
with
its
wings, And they are
ashamed of their sacrifices !
