YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“Woe
to the
rebellious
children
, ”
declares
the LORD
, “
to those
who
carry
out a plan
that
is
not
Mine,
who
form
an
alliance
, but
against
My will
, heaping
up
sin upon
sin.
Wo
`
to '
apostate
sons
, The affirmation
of
Jehovah!
To
do
counsel
, and
not
from
Me,
And
to spread
out a covering
, and
not
of
My spirit
, So
as
to
add
sin to
sin.
They
set
out
to go down to Egypt without
asking
My advice
, to seek
shelter
under
Pharaoh’s
protection
and take
refuge
in Egypt’s
shade
.
Who
are
walking
to go down to Egypt ,
And
My mouth
have
not
asked
, To be
strong
in
the
strength
of
Pharaoh,
And to
trust
in the
shadow
of
Egypt
.
But
Pharaoh’s
protection
will
become
your
shame, and the refuge
of Egypt’s
shade
your
disgrace.
And
the
strength
of
Pharaoh
Hath
been
to
you
for
shame, And the trust
in
the
shadow
of Egypt
confusion,
For though
their
princes
are
at
Zoan and their
envoys
have
arrived
in
Hanes ,
For in
Zoan were
his
princes,
And his
messengers
reach
Hanes .
everyone
will
be
put
to
shame
because
of a people useless
to
them.
They
cannot
be
of
help ;
they
are
good
for nothing
but shame and reproach .”
All
he
made
ashamed
of a people that
profit
not,
Neither
for
help ,
not
for profit,
But for
shame ,
and also
for
reproach !
This
is
the burden against
the beasts of the Negev:
Through
a land of hardship
and distress, of lioness
and lion, of
viper and flying serpent
, they carry their
wealth
on the backs
of donkeys
and
their treasures
on the humps
of camels, to
a people of
no
profit
to
them
.
The burden of
the beasts of the south.
Into
a land of adversity
and distress, Of young
lion
and of
old
lion, Whence
`are'
viper and flying saraph
, They carry on the shoulder
of asses
their wealth,
And
on the hump
of camels their
treasures
, Unto
a people not
profitable
.
Egypt’s
help
is
futile
and empty;
therefore I have called
her
Rahab
Who
Sits
Still.
Yea,
Egyptians
`are'
vanity,
and in
vain
do
help,
Therefore I have cried
concerning
this:
`Their
strength
`is'
to
sit
still. '
Go now
, write it on a tablet in
their
presence
and inscribe
it
on a scroll;
it will
be
for the
days
to
come
, a witness forever
and
ever.
No,
go in
, write it on a tablet with
them,
And on a book
engrave
it ,
And
it
is
for a
latter
day
, for
a witness unto
the
age,
These
are
rebellious people, deceitful
children
, children
unwilling
to obey
the LORD’s
instruction
.
That
a
rebellious people `is'
this
, sons
--
liars
, Sons
not
willing
to hear
the law
of
Jehovah
.
They
say
to the
seers, “Stop
seeing
visions!”
and to the
prophets, “
Do not prophesy to us the
truth!
Speak to us pleasant
words;
prophesy illusions.
Who
have
said
to seers, `Ye
do
not
see,'
And to prophets, `Ye
do not prophesy to us Straightforward
things,
Speak to us smooth
things,
prophesy deceits,
Get
out
of
the way ;
turn
off
the road.
Rid
us of
the Holy One of Israel !”
Turn
aside
from
the way ,
decline
from
the path,
Cause
to
cease
from
before
us the Holy One of Israel .'
Therefore this
is
what
the Holy One of Israel says:
“
Because you
have
rejected
this message
, trusting
in oppression and relying
on deceit
,
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Holy One of Israel ,
Because of
your
kicking
against
this word
, And
ye
trust
in oppression ,
And perverseness,
and
rely
on it
,
this iniquity of
yours
is
like
a breach about
to
fail
, a
bulge
in a high
wall, whose collapse
will
come
suddenly —
in
an instant !
Therefore
is
this iniquity to
you
as
a breach falling
, Swelled
out
in a wall set
on
high
, Whose destruction
suddenly ,
at
an instant cometh.
It will
break
in
pieces
like
a
potter’s
jar
, shattered
so
that
no
fragment
can
be
found.
Not a
shard
will
be
found in the
dust
large
enough
to
scoop
the
coals
from
a hearth
or
to skim
the water
from a cistern
. ”
And
He
hath
broken
it As
the
breaking
of
the
potters'
bottle
, Beaten
down
--
He
doth
not spare,
Nor
is
there
found ,
in its
beating
down,
A potsherd
to take
fire
from
the burning,
And
to
draw
out
waters
from a ditch
.
For the Lord GOD
, the Holy One of Israel ,
has
said
: “By
repentance
and rest you
would
be
saved ;
your
strength
would
lie
in quiet confidence —
but
you
were
not willing. ”
For thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
, The Holy One of Israel: `In
returning
and rest ye
are
saved ,
In keeping
quiet and
in
confidence is
your
might,
And
ye
have
not been
willing.
“No,”
you
say, “
we will
flee on
horses.”
Therefore you
will
flee !
“
We will
ride swift horses,”
but
your pursuers will
be
faster
.
And
ye
say, No,
for
on
a
horse
we flee ?
Therefore ye
flee ,
And
on
the
swift
we ride !
Therefore
swift are
your pursuers.
A
thousand will
flee
at
the threat
of one ;
at
the threat
of five you
will
all
flee, until
you
are
left alone
like
a pole on a
mountaintop
, like
a
banner
on a
hill
.
One
thousand because
of
the rebuke
of one ,
Because
of
the rebuke
of five ye
flee, Till
ye
have
been
surely
left as
a pole On the
top
of
the
mountain
, And
as
an
ensign
on the
height
.
Therefore the
LORD
longs
to
be
gracious
to you ;
therefore He rises
to show
you compassion
, for the
LORD
is
a just
God .
Blessed
are
all who
wait
for Him.
And
therefore doth
wait
Jehovah
to favour
you ,
And
therefore He is
exalted
to pity
you, For a God of
judgment
`is'
Jehovah,
O
the
blessedness
of
all waiting
for Him.
O
people in Zion who
dwell in Jerusalem, you
will
weep no
more.
He will
surely
be
gracious
when
you
cry for
help;
when He hears,
He will
answer
you
.
For
the
people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Weep thou
not,
weeping,
Pitying,
He pitieth
thee
at
the
voice
of
thy
cry ,
When He heareth
He answereth
thee
.
The Lord will
give
you the
bread of adversity and the
water of affliction,
but
your
Teacher
will
no longer
hide
Himself—with
your
own
eyes you
will
see
Him.
And
the Lord hath
given
to
you bread of adversity ,
And water of oppression.
And
thy
directors
remove
no more,
And
thine
eyes have
seen
thy
directors,
And whether
you
turn
to
the
right
or
to
the
left,
your
ears
will
hear
this
command
behind you:
“
This is the way .
Walk
in it. ”
And thine
ear
heareth
a
word
behind thee,
Saying,
`
This `
is '
the way ,
go
ye
in it ,'
When
ye
turn
to
the
right,
And
when
ye
turn
to
the
left
.
So
you
will
desecrate
your
silver -plated
idols
and your
gold -plated
images.
You
will
throw
them
away
like
menstrual
cloths
, saying
to
them, “Be
gone!”
And
ye
have
defiled
the
covering
of
Thy
graven
images
of
silver ,
And the
ephod
of
thy
molten
image
of
gold, Thou
scatterest
them as
a
sickening
thing
, `Go
out,'
thou
sayest
to
it.
Then
He will
send
rain for the
seed that
you
have
sown
in
the ground, and the food
that
comes
from
your
land
will
be
rich
and plentiful.
On
that
day
your
cattle will
graze
in open
pastures
.
And
He hath
given
rain `
for '
thy
seed ,
With
which
thou
dost
sow
the ground, And bread,
the increase
of
the
ground,
And it
hath
been
fat
and
plenteous,
Enjoy
do
thy
cattle in that
day
an
enlarged
pasture
.
The oxen and donkeys
that
work
the ground will
eat salted
fodder
, winnowed
with shovel and pitchfork
.
And
the oxen and the young
asses
serving
the
ground ,
Fermented
provender
do
eat, That
one
is
winnowing
with shovel and fan
.
And from
every high mountain
and every raised
hill, streams of water
will
flow
in the
day of great
slaughter, when
the towers fall
.
And there
hath
been
on
every high mount,
And on
every exalted
hill, Rivulets
--
streams of waters,
In a
day of much
slaughter, in
the falling
of
towers.
The light of the moon will
be
as
bright
as the sun, and the light of the sun will
be
seven
times
brighter—like
the light of seven days —on
the day that
the
LORD
binds
up the brokenness
of His people and
heals
the wounds
He has
inflicted
.
And
the light of the moon hath
been
as the light
of
the
sun, And the light of the sun is
sevenfold,
As
the light of seven days ,
In
the day of
Jehovah's
binding
up the breach
of His people ,
When
the stroke
of
its
wound
He healeth
.
Behold
, the Name of the
LORD
comes
from afar
, with
burning anger and dense
smoke.
His lips are
full of fury
, and His tongue is like
a consuming
fire.
Lo
, the name of Jehovah
is
coming
from far
, Burning is
His
anger ,
and great
the
flame,
His lips have
been
full of indignation
, And His tongue `
is '
as
a devouring
fire.
His breath is like
a
rushing
torrent
that
rises
to
the neck .
He
comes
to sift the
nations in
a sieve of destruction;
He
bridles
the jaws of the peoples to
lead
them
astray
.
And
His breath `
is '
as
an
overflowing
stream,
Unto
the neck it
divideth,
To sift nations with
a sieve of vanity,
And
a
bridle
causing
to
err,
`Is'
on
the jaws of the peoples.
You will
sing
as on
the
night of
a holy
festival, and your
heart will
rejoice
like
one
who walks
to
the
music
of
a flute
, going
up
to the mountain of the
LORD
, to
the Rock of Israel.
Singing
is
to
you as in
a
night sanctified
for
a festival, And joy
of
heart as
he
who is
going
with
a pipe
, To go
in
to
the mountain of Jehovah
, Unto
the rock of Israel.
And the
LORD
will
cause
His
majestic
voice
to be heard and His mighty
arm to
be
revealed,
striking
in
angry
wrath
with a
flame of consuming fire, and
with
cloudburst
, storm
, and hailstones
.
And caused
to be heard hath
Jehovah
The
honour
of
His
voice,
And the
coming
down
of
His arm He
doth
shew
with the
raging
of
anger,
And
the
flame of a
consuming fire, Scattering
, and
inundation
, and hailstone
.
For Assyria
will
be
shattered
at
the voice of the
LORD;
He
will
strike
them
with His
scepter
.
For from
the voice of Jehovah
broken
down
`is'
Asshur,
With a
rod
He
smiteth
.
And with
every stroke
of the rod
of
punishment
that the
LORD
brings
down
on them
, the
tambourines
and lyres
will
sound
as
He
battles with weapons
brandished
.
And every passage
of the settled
staff,
That Jehovah
causeth
to
rest
on him
, Hath
been
with
tabrets,
and with
harps,
And
in
battles of
shaking
he
hath
fought
with it
.
For Topheth
has
long
been
prepared;
it has
been
made
ready
for the king .
Its
funeral
pyre
is deep and
wide
, with
plenty
of
fire and wood .
The breath of the
LORD
, like
a torrent
of burning
sulfur
, sets
it ablaze.
For ,
arranged
from
former
time
is
Tophet,
Even
it for the king is prepared,
He
hath
made
deep, He
hath
made
large,
Its
pile
`is'
fire and much
wood ,
The breath of Jehovah
, As
a stream
of brim
stone
, is
burning
in
it !
