Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Lo
, Jehovah
is
emptying
the land
, And is
making
it waste, And hath
overturned
`
it on'
its
face
, And hath
scattered
its
inhabitants.
Behold
, the LORD
maketh
the
earth
empty
, and maketh
it waste, and turneth
it upside
down
, and scattereth
abroad
the
inhabitants thereof
.
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
.
And it shall
be,
as with
the
people ,
so with
the
priest ;
as with
the servant ,
so with
his master ;
as with
the maid ,
so with
her mistress ;
as with
the buyer ,
so with
the seller ;
as with
the lender ,
so with
the borrower ;
as with
the taker
of
usury,
so with
the
giver
of
usury
to
him
.
Utterly
emptied
is
the land, and utterly spoiled ,
For Jehovah
hath spoken this word :
The land shall
be
utterly
emptied
, and utterly spoiled :
for the
LORD
hath spoken this word .
Mourned,
faded
hath
the land,
Languished
, faded
hath
the world, Languished
have
they
--
the high
place
of
the
people of the land
.
The earth
mourneth
and
fadeth
away
, the world languisheth
and
fadeth
away
, the haughty
people of the earth
do
languish
.
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
.
The earth
also
is
defiled under the
inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the
laws, changed the
ordinance
, broken
the
everlasting
covenant.
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.
Therefore hath the curse
devoured
the
earth
, and they
that
dwell
therein
are desolate :
therefore the
inhabitants of the earth
are
burned
, and few men left.
Mourned
hath
the new wine, languished
the vine, Sighed
have
all the joyful
of
heart
.
The new wine mourneth
, the vine languisheth
, all the merryhearted
do
sigh
.
Ceased
hath
the joy
of tabrets, Ceased
hath
the noise of exulting
ones
, Ceased
hath
the joy of a
harp.
The mirth
of tabrets ceaseth
, the noise of them
that
rejoice
endeth
, the joy of the
harp ceaseth
.
With
a
song
they drink
not wine ,
Bitter
is
strong drink to those
drinking
it.
They shall
not drink
wine with
a
song;
strong drink shall
be
bitter
to them
that
drink
it.
It
was
broken
down
--
a
city of emptiness,
Shut
hath
been
every house from
entrance
.
The
city of confusion
is
broken
down:
every house is
shut
up,
that
no
man
may
come
in
.
A cry
over
the
wine `is'
in out-places,
Darkened
hath
been
all joy, Removed
hath
been
the joy
of the land.
There
is
a crying
for
wine in the
streets;
all joy is
darkened
, the mirth
of the land is
gone
.
Left
in the city `
is '
desolation, And `with'
wasting
is
the gate smitten.
In the city is left
desolation, and the gate is
smitten with
destruction
.
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,
When thus it shall
be
in the midst
of the land among
the people
, there
shall
be
as the shaking
of an
olive tree
, and
as the
gleaning
grapes
when the
vintage
is
done.
They --
they
lift up their voice, They sing of
the excellency
of Jehovah
, They have
cried
aloud from the sea.
They shall
lift up their voice, they shall
sing for
the majesty
of the
LORD
, they shall
cry
aloud from the sea.
Therefore
in
prosperity
honour
ye Jehovah,
In isles
of
the sea
, the name of Jehovah,
God of Israel.
Wherefore
glorify
ye the
LORD
in the fires
, even
the name of the
LORD
God of Israel in
the
isles
of
the
sea
.
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.
From the uttermost
part
of the earth have
we heard songs, even
glory
to
the righteous. But
I said
, My
leanness, my
leanness, woe
unto
me !
the
treacherous dealers have
dealt treacherously ;
yea, the
treacherous dealers have
dealt very
treacherously.
Fear, and a
snare
, and a
gin
, `
Are '
on
thee, O inhabitant of the land
.
Fear, and the
pit
, and the
snare
, are upon
thee, O inhabitant of the earth
.
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
.
And it shall
come to pass, that
he who fleeth
from the noise of the fear shall
fall into the pit;
and he that
cometh
up out
of
the midst of the pit
shall
be
taken
in
the snare:
for the
windows from
on high are
open
, and the
foundations of the earth
do
shake
.
Utterly broken down hath
been
the
land
, Utterly
broken
hath
been
the land
, Utterly
moved
hath
been
the land
.
The
earth
is
utterly broken down, the earth
is
clean
dissolved
, the earth
is
moved
exceedingly
.
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.
The earth
shall
reel
to
and
fro
like
a drunkard, and shall
be
removed
like
a cottage;
and the
transgression
thereof
shall
be
heavy upon
it ;
and it shall
fall
, and not rise again
.
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
.
And it shall
come to pass in that day, that
the LORD
shall
punish
the
host of the high ones
that
are
on
high, and the kings of the earth
upon
the earth
.
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
.
And they shall
be
gathered together,
as
prisoners
are
gathered
in the
pit, and shall
be
shut up in the
prison, and after many
days shall
they
be
visited
.
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!
Then
the moon shall
be
confounded
, and the sun ashamed
, when
the
LORD
of hosts shall
reign
in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before
his ancients
gloriously.
