YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“
Hear this, O priests !
Take
heed
, O house of Israel !
Give
ear
, O royal
house !
For this
judgment is against
you
because
you have
been
a snare at
Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor.
`
Hear this, O priests, and
attend,
O house of Israel, And,
O house of
the
king,
give
ear,
For the
judgment `
is '
for
you ,
For,
a snare ye
have
been
on
Mizpah, And
a net spread out on Tabor.
The
rebels
are
deep
in
slaughter ;
but
I will
chastise
them all.
And
to
slaughter sinners
have
gone
deep,
And
I `am'
a
fetter
to
them all.
I know
all
about
Ephraim, and Israel is
not hidden
from Me .
For now, O
Ephraim, you
have
turned
to
prostitution;
Israel
is
defiled.
I have
known
Ephraim, And Israel hath
not been
hid
from me ,
For now thou
hast
gone
a-whoring
, Ephraim, Defiled is
Israel
.
Their
deeds
do
not permit
them
to
return
to their God, for a spirit of prostitution
is within
them
, and they do
not know
the
LORD
.
They
give
not up
their
habitual
doings,
To turn
back
unto
their God, For a spirit of whoredoms
`
is '
in
their
midst
, And Jehovah
they have
not known
.
Israel’s
arrogance
testifies
against
them;
Israel and Ephraim stumble in
their iniquity ;
even
Judah stumbles
with them.
And
humbled
hath
been
the
excellency
of
Israel to
his
face,
And Israel
and
Ephraim stumble by
their iniquity ,
Stumbled
also
hath
Judah with them.
They
go
with their flocks
and herds
to seek the
LORD
, but
they
do not find Him;
He has
withdrawn Himself
from them.
With their flock
and with
their
herd,
They
go
to seek Jehovah
, and
do not find ,
He hath
withdrawn from them.
They have
been
unfaithful
to
the
LORD;
for they have borne
illegitimate
children.
Now the
New
Moon
will
devour
them along
with their land
.
Against
Jehovah
they dealt
treacherously,
For strange
sons
they have begotten,
Now consume
them doth
a
month
`
with '
their portions
.
Blow the
ram’s
horn
in Gibeah, the
trumpet in Ramah ;
raise
the
battle
cry
in
Beth-aven :
Lead
on
, O Benjamin !
Blow ye
a
cornet
in Gibeah, a
trumpet in Ramah ,
Shout,
O
Beth-Aven, after
thee,
O Benjamin .
Ephraim will
be
laid
waste
on
the
day of rebuke.
Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim
what
is
certain
.
Ephraim is
for
a
desolation
in
a
day of reproof,
Among the tribes of Israel I have
made
known
a
sure
thing
.
The
princes of Judah are
like
those who
move
boundary
stones;
I will
pour out My
fury
upon
them
like
water.
Princes of Judah have
been
as
those removing
a
border,
On
them
I do
pour out as
water My
wrath
.
Ephraim
is
oppressed, crushed
in judgment, for
he is
determined
to
follow
worthless
idols
.
Oppressed is
Ephraim
, broken
in judgment, When
he pleased
he
went
after
the
command
.
So
I am like
a moth to Ephraim, and like
decay
to the house of Judah.
And
I `
am '
as
a moth to Ephraim, And as
a
rotten
thing
to the house of Judah.
When
Ephraim saw
his sickness and Judah his wound, then
Ephraim turned
to
Assyria
and sent
to
the
great
king .
But
he cannot
cure
you or
heal
your
wound
.
And
see
doth
Ephraim his sickness ,
and Judah his wound, And
Ephraim goeth
unto
Asshur,
And sendeth
unto
a
warlike
king ,
And
he is
not
able
to
give
healing
to
you ,
Nor
doth
he
remove
from
you
a
scar
.
For I am like
a lion to Ephraim and like
a young lion to the house of Judah .
I
, even
I ,
will
tear them
to
pieces
and then
go away.
I will
carry
them
off
where
no one
can
rescue
them
.
For I `
am '
as
a lion to Ephraim ,
And as
a young lion to the house of Judah, I --
I
tear and go ,
I bear
away,
and
there
is
no deliverer
.
Then
I will
return
to
My place until
they admit
their
guilt
and seek
My face ;
in their affliction
they will
earnestly
seek Me .”
I go
--
I
turn
back
unto
My place ,
Till
that
they are
desolate,
and have
sought
My face .
In their distress
they do
seek Me speedily!'
