Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
`Rejoice
not, O Israel, be
not
joyful
like the peoples
, For thou
hast
gone
a-whoring
from
thy
God ,
Thou
hast
loved
a
gift
near
all
floors
of
corn
.
Do
not rejoice
, O Israel, with
exultation
like the nations
, for you
have
played
the
harlot
against
your
God ;
you
have
made
love
for
hire
on
every
threshing
floor
.
Floor and wine-press
do
not delight
them, And new wine doth
fail in
her,
The
threshing
floor and winepress
will
not feed
them, and the
new wine will
fail them.
They do
not abide
in the land of Jehovah,
And
turned
back
hath
Ephraim `
to '
Egypt ,
And in
Asshur
an
unclean
thing
they
eat.
They will
not remain
in the land of the
LORD;
Ephraim will
return
to Egypt and eat unclean
food
in
Assyria
.
They pour
not out wine to
Jehovah,
Nor
are
they
sweet
to Him
, Their sacrifices `are'
as
bread of mourners to
them,
All eating
it
are
unclean:
For their bread `is'
for themselves ,
It doth
not come
into
the house of Jehovah
.
They will
not pour
out wine offerings
to the
LORD
, and
their sacrifices will
not
please
Him,
but
will
be
to
them
like
the
bread of mourners ;
all who
eat
will
be
defiled.
For their bread will
be
for themselves ;
it will
not enter
the house of the
LORD
.
What do ye
at
the day
appointed ?
And
at
the day of Jehovah's
festival
?
What will
you
do on
the appointed day,
on
the day of the
LORD’s
feast
?
For ,
lo,
they have
gone
because
of
destruction, Egypt gathereth
them ,
Moph
burieth
them ,
The
desirable
things
of
their silver, Nettles
possess
them
--
a
thorn
`is'
in
their tents.
For even
if
they flee
destruction, Egypt will
gather
them and
Memphis
will
bury
them .
Their precious
silver will
be
taken
over
by
thistles
, and
thorns
will
overrun
their tents.
Come
in
have
the days of inspection,
Come
in
have the days of recompence,
Israel doth
know !
a
fool
`is'
the prophet ,
Mad
`
is '
the man of
the
Spirit
, Because of the abundance
of thine
iniquity ,
And great
`is'
the
hatred
.
The days of punishment
have come;
the days of retribution
have
arrived—
let
Israel know it.
The prophet is called
a
fool,
and
the inspired
man insane
, because of the greatness
of your
iniquity and hostility
.
Ephraim
is looking
`away'
from
My God, The prophet!
a
snare of a
fowler `is'
over
all his ways,
Hatred
`
is '
in the house of his God .
The
prophet
is Ephraim’s
watchman,
along
with
my God, yet
the snare of the
fowler lies
on
all his paths.
Hostility
is in the house of his God !
They have gone
deep
--
have
done
corruptly,
As `
in '
the days of Gibeah ,
He doth
remember their iniquity,
He doth
inspect
their sins.
They have deeply
corrupted
themselves
as in the days of Gibeah ;
He will
remember their guilt;
He will
punish
their sins.
As
grapes in a
wilderness I found
Israel,
As the first-fruit
in
a
fig -
tree ,
at
its beginning,
I
have
seen
your
fathers,
They
--
they have
gone
in
`
to '
Baal-Peor, And are
separated
to a
shameful
thing ,
And
are
become
abominable
like
their
love
.
I
found
Israel
like
grapes in the
wilderness .
I saw
your
fathers
as the firstfruits
of
the
fig tree in
its first
season.
But
they went
to Baal-peor, and consecrated
themselves
to Shame;
so
they
became
as
detestable
as
the
thing they
loved
.
Ephraim
`is'
as
a
fowl,
Fly away doth
their
honour
, without
birth, And
without
womb
, and without
conception.
Ephraim’s
glory
will
fly away like
a
bird
, with
no
birth, no
pregnancy
, and no
conception.
For
though
they nourish
their sons
, I have
made
them childless
--
without
man,
Surely
also
, wo
to them ,
when I turn aside
from them .
Even
if
they raise
their children
, I will
bereave
them of
each
one.
Yes
, woe
be
to them when I turn away
from them !
Ephraim!
when
I have looked
to
the
rock
, Is
planted in comeliness,
And
Ephraim `is'
to
bring out unto
a
slayer
his sons
.
I have seen
Ephraim
, like
Tyre,
planted in a
meadow.
But
Ephraim will
bring out his children
for
slaughter
.
Give to
them, Jehovah
--
what dost
Thou
give? Give to
them miscarrying
womb,
and dry
breasts .
Give them, O
LORD—
what will
You
give? Give them wombs
that
miscarry
and breasts that
dry
up!
All their evil `is'
in
Gilgal, Surely
there I have
hated them ,
Because
of
the
evil
of
their
doings,
Out
of
My
house
I do
drive them ,
I add
not
to
love them ,
all their heads
`
are '
apostates
.
All their evil appears
at
Gilgal, for
there I hated them .
I will
drive them from
My
house
for
the
wickedness
of
their
deeds.
I will
no
longer
love them ;
all their leaders
are rebellious
.
Ephraim hath
been
smitten,
Their root hath
dried
up,
fruit
they yield
not,
Yea,
though
they bring
forth
, I have
put
to
death
the desired
of their womb
.
Ephraim is
struck
down;
their root is
withered;
they cannot
bear
fruit.
Even
if
they bear
children
, I will
slay
the darlings
of their wombs
.
Reject
them
doth
my God ,
Because they have not hearkened
to
Him ,
And they are
wanderers among nations !
My God will
reject
them
because they have not obeyed
Him ;
and they shall
be
wanderers among the
nations .
