YLT
Young's Literal Translation
For
the
LORD
will
have
compassion
on
Jacob ;
once
again He
will
choose
Israel and settle
them in
their own land .
The foreigner
will
join
them and unite
with
the house of Jacob.
Because
Jehovah
loveth
Jacob ,
And
hath
fixed
again on
Israel ,
And given
them rest
on
their own land ,
And
joined
hath
been
the sojourner
to
them ,
And they
have
been
admitted
to
the house of Jacob.
The
nations
will
escort
Israel
and bring
it
to
its
homeland.
Then
the house of Israel will
possess
the
nations
as
menservants
and
maidservants
in
the LORD’s
land .
They will
make
captives
of their captors and rule
over their oppressors
.
And peoples
have
taken
them,
And
have
brought
them
in
unto
their
place,
And
the house of Israel have
inherited
them,
On
the land of
Jehovah,
For
men-servants
and
for
maid-servants,
And
they have
been
captors
of their captors ,
And have
ruled
over their exactors
.
On
the day that
the
LORD
gives
you
rest from your
pain
and torment
, and from the hard
labor
into
which
you
were
forced
,
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
In
the day of
Jehovah's
giving
rest to
thee,
From thy
grief,
and from
thy
trouble
, And from the sharp
bondage
, That
hath
been
served
upon
thee,
you
will
sing
this song
of
contempt
against
the king of Babylon :
How the oppressor
has
ceased, and
how
his
fury
has
ended!
That
thou
hast
taken
up
this simile
Concerning
the king of Babylon ,
and
said,
How hath
the exactor
ceased,
The LORD
has
broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter
of the
rulers.
Ceased
hath
the golden
one.
Broken hath
Jehovah
the staff of the wicked, The sceptre
of rulers.
It
struck
the
peoples in anger with
unceasing
blows;
it
subdued
the
nations in
rage
with
relentless
persecution.
He
who
is
smiting
peoples in wrath,
A
smiting
without
intermission,
He
who
is
ruling
in
anger nations ,
Pursuing
without
restraint!
All the earth is
at
peace
and
at
rest;
they break
out
in
song
.
At
rest
--
quiet
hath
been
all the earth ,
They have
broken
forth
`into'
singing
.
Even the
cypresses
and
cedars of Lebanon exult
over
you
: “
Since you
have
been
laid
low
, no
woodcutter
comes
against us. ”
Even firs
have
rejoiced
over
thee,
Cedars of Lebanon --
`saying'
: Since thou
hast
lain
down
, The
hewer
cometh
not
up
against us.
Sheol beneath is
eager
to meet you
upon
your
arrival.
It stirs
the
spirits
of
the
dead
to
greet
you—
all the
rulers
of the
earth .
It makes
all the
kings of the
nations rise
from
their
thrones
.
Sheol beneath hath
been
troubled
at
thee,
To meet thy
coming
in,
It is
waking
up
for
thee
Rephaim,
All chiefs
ones
of earth ,
It hath
raised
up
from
their
thrones
All kings of nations.
They
will
all respond
to
you,
saying
, “You
too
have
become weak ,
as
we
are;
you
have
become
like us! ”
All of
them
answer
and
say
unto
thee
, Even
thou
hast
become weak like us! Unto
us
thou
hast
become
like!
Your
pomp
has
been
brought down to Sheol, along
with
the music
of your
harps.
Maggots
are
your
bed
and
worms
your
blanket
.
Brought down to Sheol hath
been
thine
excellency
, The noise
of thy
psaltery,
Under
thee
spread
out
hath
been
the
worm,
Yea,
covering
thee
is
the
worm
.
How you
have
fallen from heaven
, O day
star
, son of the dawn! You
have
been cut down to the
ground
, O destroyer
of nations.
How hast
thou
fallen from the
heavens
, O shining
one
, son of the dawn! Thou
hast
been cut down to earth
, O weakener
of nations.
You
said
in your
heart: “I
will
ascend
to
the heavens ;
I will
raise
my
throne
above the
stars of God .
I will
sit on
the mount of assembly,
in the far
reaches
of the north.
And
thou
saidst
in thy
heart: the heavens I go
up,
Above stars of God I raise
my
throne,
And
I
sit in
the mount of meeting
in the sides
of the north.
I will
ascend
above the tops
of the
clouds;
I will
make
myself
like the Most High. ”
I go
up
above the heights
of a
thick
cloud,
I am
like to
the Most High.
But
you
will
be
brought down to
Sheol
, to
the lowest
depths
of the Pit.
Only
--
unto
Sheol
thou
art
brought down, Unto
the sides
of the pit.
Those
who
see
you
will
stare;
they will
ponder
your
fate:
“
Is this the man who
shook
the earth and
made
the
kingdoms
tremble,
Thy
beholders
look
to
thee,
to
thee
they attend,
Is this the man causing
the earth to
tremble, Shaking
kingdoms?
who
turned
the world into
a desert
and destroyed
its
cities, who
refused
to
let
the captives
return
to
their
homes?”
He
hath
made
the world as
a wilderness,
And his
cities he
hath
broken
down
, Of
his
bound
ones
he
opened
not
the house.
All the
kings of the
nations lie
in state
, each in his own
tomb.
All kings of nations --
all
of
them,
Have
lain
down
in honour
, each in his house,
But
you
are
cast out of your
grave like
a
rejected
branch, covered
by
those
slain with
the sword, and
dumped
into
a
rocky
pit like
a carcass
trampled
underfoot
.
And
--
thou
hast
been
cast out of thy
grave ,
As
an
abominable
branch, raiment
of
the
slain ,
Thrust
through
ones
of
the sword, Going
down
unto
the
sons
of
the
pit ,
As
a carcase
trodden
down
.
You
will
not join
them in burial, since
you
have
destroyed
your
land and
slaughtered
your
own
people .
The offspring
of
the wicked
will
never
again
be
mentioned
.
Thou
art
not united
with
them in burial, For
thy
land thou
hast
destroyed,
Thy
people thou
hast
slain,
Not
named
to
the age
is
the seed
of
evil
doers
.
Prepare a
place
to
slaughter
his sons for
the iniquities
of their forefathers.
They will
never
rise up
to
possess
a
land or
cover
the earth
with their
cities.
Prepare ye
for
his sons slaughter;
Because
of
the iniquity
of their fathers,
They rise not,
nor
have
possessed
the
land ,
Nor
filled
the face
of
the
world
`
with '
cities.
“
I will
rise
up against them, ”
declares
the LORD
of Hosts .
“I
will
cut off from
Babylon her
name and her
remnant, her
offspring
and her
posterity
, ”
declares
the LORD
.
And
I have
risen
up against them, (
The affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts ,)
And
have
cut off ,
in
reference
to
Babylon ,
Name and remnant, and continuator
and
successor
, The affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“I
will
make
her
a
place
for
owls
and for swamplands;
I
will
sweep
her
away
with the broom
of destruction, ”
declares
the LORD
of Hosts .
And have
made
it
for a
possession
of
a
bittern,
And
ponds
of
waters,
And
daubed
it
with the mire
of destruction, The affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts !
The
LORD
of Hosts has
sworn:
“Surely
, as I have
planned,
so will
it be;
as I have
purposed,
so
will
it stand.
Sworn
hath
Jehovah
of Hosts, saying,
`
As I thought
--
so hath
it not
been?
And
as I counselled
--
it standeth;
I
will
break Assyria
in My land ;
I
will
trample
him
on My mountain.
His yoke will
be
taken
off
My
people
, and
his burden removed
from their shoulders
. ”
To
break Asshur
in My land ,
And
on My mountains
I
tread
him
down,
And
turned
from
off
them
hath
his yoke, Yea,
his burden from off
their shoulder
turneth
aside
.
This is the plan
devised
for the whole
earth, and this is the hand stretched out over
all the nations.
This `
is '
the counsel
that
is
counselled
for all
the earth, And this `
is '
the hand that
is
stretched out for
all the nations.
The
LORD
of Hosts has
purposed, and who can
thwart
Him
? His hand is outstretched
, so
who can
turn it back?
For
Jehovah
of Hosts hath
purposed, And who doth
make
void
? And
His hand that
is stretched
out
, Who doth
turn it back? '
In the year that
King Ahaz died,
this burden was
received
:
In the year of
the
death
of
king Ahaz was
this burden:
Do
not
rejoice, all you
Philistines
, that the rod that
struck
you
is
broken.
For a
viper
will
spring
from the root of the
snake
, and a flying serpent
from
its
egg
.
Rejoice not
thou
, Philistia,
all of
thee
, That broken
hath
been
the rod of
thy
smiter,
For from the root of a
serpent
cometh
out
a
viper
, And its
fruit
`is'
a flying saraph
.
Then
the firstborn
of the poor will
find
pasture
, and the needy will
lie down in
safety
, but
I will
kill
your
root
by
famine, and your
remnant will
be
slain
.
And
delighted
have
the first-born
of the poor, And the needy in
confidence
lie down, And
I have
put
to
death
with
famine thy
root
, And thy
remnant it
slayeth
.
Wail
, O gate !
Cry out
, O city !
Melt
away
, all you
Philistines!
For
a
cloud
of smoke
comes
from the north, and there are
no
stragglers
in its
ranks
.
Howl
, O gate ;
cry, O city, Melted
art
thou,
Philistia,
all of thee,
For
from the north smoke
hath
come
, And there is
none
alone
in his
set
places
.
What answer will
be
given
to
the envoys
of that
nation? “The
LORD
has
founded Zion, where
His afflicted
people will
find
refuge.”
And
what doth
one
answer the messengers
of a
nation? `That
Jehovah
hath
founded Zion, And
in
it
do
the
poor
of
His people trust!'
