YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Behold
, the LORD
lays
waste the
earth
and leaves
it in
ruins.
He
will
twist
its surface
and scatter
its inhabitants —
Lo
, Jehovah
is
emptying
the land,
And
is
making
it
waste ,
And hath
overturned
`
it on'
its face,
And hath
scattered
its inhabitants .
people
and priest alike
, servant and
master, maid and
mistress, buyer and
seller, lender and
borrower, creditor
and
debtor
.
And it
hath
been
--
as
a
people
so
a
priest, As
the
servant so
his
master, As
the
maid -servant
so
her
mistress, As
the
buyer so
the
seller, As
the
lender so
the
borrower, As
the
usurer
so
he
who
is
lifting
`it'
on
himself
.
The
earth
will
be
utterly laid
waste
and thoroughly
plundered.
For the
LORD
has
spoken this word .
Utterly emptied
is
the
land,
and utterly
spoiled,
For Jehovah
hath
spoken this word :
The earth
mourns
and
withers;
the world languishes
and
fades;
the exalted
of the earth
waste
away
.
Mourned,
faded
hath
the land,
Languished,
faded
hath
the world ,
Languished
have
they
--
the high
place
of the people
of
the
land
.
The earth
is
defiled by
its people;
they have transgressed the
laws ;
they have overstepped
the
decrees
and
broken
the
everlasting
covenant.
And
the land
hath
been
defiled under
its inhabitants,
Because
they have transgressed laws ,
They have changed
a
statute,
They
have
made
void
a
covenant age-during
.
Therefore a curse has
consumed the earth
, and its
inhabitants
must
bear
the guilt;
the
earth’s
dwellers
have been burned
, and only
a
few survive
.
Therefore a curse hath
consumed the land
, And the inhabitants
in
it
are
become
desolate,
Therefore
consumed
have been inhabitants
of
the
land
, And few men
have
been
left
.
The new wine dries
up
, the vine withers.
All the merrymakers
now
groan
.
Mourned
hath
the new wine, languished
the vine ,
Sighed
have
all the joyful
of
heart
.
The joyful
tambourines
have
ceased ;
the noise of revelers
has
stopped;
the joyful
harp is
silent
.
Ceased
hath
the joy
of
tabrets,
Ceased hath
the noise of exulting
ones,
Ceased
hath
the joy
of
a
harp.
They no
longer
sing
and
drink wine ;
strong drink is
bitter
to those who
consume
it.
With
a
song
they drink not
wine ,
Bitter
is
strong drink to those drinking
it.
The
city of chaos
is
shattered;
every house is
closed
to
entry
.
It
was
broken
down
--
a
city of emptiness,
Shut
hath
been
every house from
entrance
.
In
the
streets
they
cry out
for
wine .
All joy turns
to
gloom;
rejoicing
is
exiled
from
the land.
A
cry over
the
wine `is'
in
out-places,
Darkened
hath
been
all joy ,
Removed
hath
been
the joy
of
the
land.
The city is left
in
ruins;
its
gate
is reduced
to
rubble
.
Left
in
the city `
is '
desolation,
And
`with'
wasting
is the
gate
smitten
.
So
will
it be
on
the earth
and
among
the nations
, like
a
harvested
olive tree
, like
a
gleaning
after
a
grape
harvest .
When
thus
it is
in
the heart
of
the land
, In
the
midst
of
the
peoples,
As
the
compassing
of
the
olive, As
gleanings
when
harvest hath
been
finished,
They raise
their voices
, they shout
for
joy;
from
the
west
they
proclaim
the majesty
of the LORD
.
They --
they
lift
up
their voice
, They sing
of
the excellency
of Jehovah,
They
have
cried
aloud
from
the sea
.
Therefore glorify
the
LORD
in the east.
Extol
the name of the
LORD
, the
God of Israel in
the
islands
of
the
sea
.
Therefore in prosperity
honour
ye
Jehovah,
In
isles
of
the sea,
the name of Jehovah
, God of Israel.
From the ends
of the earth we hear
singing:
“Glory
to
the Righteous One
. ”
But
I said
, “I
am
wasting
away!
I
am
wasting
away!
Woe
is me. ”
The
treacherous
betray;
the
treacherous deal
in
treachery.
From the skirt
of the earth we heard
songs,
The desire
of
the
righteous. And
I say
, `Leanness
`
is '
to
me ,
Leanness
`is'
to
me,
wo
`is'
to
me
. '
Treacherous dealers
dealt
treacherously,
Yea,
treachery ,
treacherous
dealers
dealt
treacherously
.
Terror
and
pit
and snare await
you
, O dweller
of the earth
.
Fear,
and a
snare, and
a
gin,
`Are'
on
thee,
O inhabitant
of the land
.
Whoever
flees
the sound
of panic
will
fall into the pit
, and whoever
climbs
from the pit
will
be
caught
in
the snare .
For
the windows of
heaven
are
open
, and the
foundations of the earth
are
shaken
.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
He
who
is
fleeing
from
the noise
of the
fear
Doth
fall into the snare
, And he
who
is
coming
up
from the midst
of
the snare ,
Is
captured
by
the gin,
For
windows on
high
have
been
opened
, And shaken
are
foundations of the land
.
The
earth
is
utterly broken apart
, the earth
is
split
open
, the earth
is
shaken
violently
.
Utterly broken down
hath
been
the
land
, Utterly
broken
hath
been
the land
, Utterly
moved
hath
been
the land
.
The earth
staggers
like
a drunkard and sways
like
a shack.
Earth’s
rebellion
weighs
it down
, and it falls
, never
to rise again
.
Stagger
greatly
doth
the land
as
a drunkard ,
And it
hath
been
moved
as
a lodge,
And
heavy
on
it hath
been
its
transgression
, And it hath
fallen
, and
addeth
not
to rise.
In that day the
LORD
will
punish
the host of heaven
above
and the kings of the earth
below
.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in that day ,
Jehovah
layeth
a
charge
on
the host of the
high
place
in
the
high
place,
And on
the kings of the land
on
the
land
.
They will
be
gathered together
like
prisoners
in a pit .
They will
be
confined
to
a dungeon
and punished
after many
days.
And
they have
been
gathered --
A
gathering
of
bound
ones
in a pit ,
And
shut
up
they have
been
in
a prison,
And after a
multitude
of
days are
inspected
.
The moon will
be
confounded
and the sun will
be
ashamed;
for the
LORD
of Hosts will
reign
on
Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before
His elders with
great
glory.
And
confounded
hath
been
the moon ,
And ashamed
hath
been
the sun ,
For reigned
hath
Jehovah
of Hosts In
mount Zion ,
and in Jerusalem, And over-against
His elders --
honour!
