King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Behold
, a king shall
reign in
righteousness
, and
princes shall
rule
in
judgment.
Lo
, for
righteousness
doth
a king reign, As
to
princes ,
for
judgment they
rule
.
And a
man
shall
be
as an
hiding place from the
wind, and a covert
from the
tempest;
as rivers
of water
in a dry place, as the
shadow of a great
rock in a weary land.
And each
hath
been
as a
hiding -
place `
from '
wind, And as
a secret
hiding-place
`
from '
inundation,
As rivulets
of waters
in a dry place, As a
shadow of a heavy
rock in a weary land.
And the eyes of them
that
see
shall
not
be
dim
, and the ears of them
that
hear
shall
hearken
.
And not
dazzled
are
the eyes of beholders
, And the ears of hearers
do
attend
.
The heart also
of the
rash
shall
understand
knowledge
, and the tongue of the
stammerers shall
be
ready
to speak plainly
.
And
the heart of those
hastened
Understandeth
to
know
, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth
to speak clearly
.
The
vile
person
shall
be
no more called liberal
, nor
the
churl
said
to be
bountiful.
A
fool
is
no more called `noble
, '
And
to a
miser
it
is
not
said,
`rich;'
For the
vile
person
will
speak
villany
, and his heart will
work
iniquity, to practise
hypocrisy
, and to utter
error against
the
LORD
, to make
empty the soul of the hungry, and
he
will
cause
the
drink of the thirsty to fail
.
For a
fool
speaketh
folly
, And his heart doth
iniquity, to do
profanity
, And to speak
concerning
Jehovah
error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea,
drink of the thirsty he
causeth
to lack
.
The instruments also
of
the
churl
are evil :
he deviseth
wicked devices to destroy
the poor with lying words
, even when the needy speaketh right
.
And
the miser
--
his
instruments `
are '
evil ,
He hath
counselled
wicked devices ,
To corrupt
the poor with lying sayings
, Even when the needy speaketh justly
.
But
the liberal
deviseth
liberal
things ;
and by
liberal
things
shall
he stand
.
And
the noble
counselled
noble
things ,
And he for
noble
things
riseth
up
.
Rise up
, ye
women
that
are
at
ease;
hear my voice, ye
careless
daughters ;
give ear unto
my speech.
Women,
easy
ones,
rise, hear my voice, Daughters ,
confident
ones,
give ear `to'
my saying,
Many
days and years
shall
ye be
troubled, ye
careless
women:
for the
vintage
shall
fail
, the gathering shall
not come
.
Days and a
year
ye are
troubled, O
confident
ones,
For consumed
hath
been
harvest
, The gathering cometh
not.
Tremble ,
ye women that
are
at
ease;
be troubled, ye careless
ones :
strip
you
, and make you
bare, and
gird
sackcloth
upon
your
loins .
Tremble ye women ,
ye
easy
ones,
Be troubled, ye confident
ones, Strip
and make bare, with
a
girdle
on
the
loins ,
They
shall
lament
for the
teats
, for the
pleasant
fields, for the fruitful vine.
For breasts
they
are
lamenting
, For fields of
desire
, for the fruitful vine.
Upon
the land
of my people shall
come
up thorns
and
briers;
yea
, upon
all the
houses of joy in
the joyous
city :
Over
the ground
of my people thorn
--
brier
goeth
up, Surely
over
all houses of joy of
the exulting
city ,
Because
the palaces
shall
be
forsaken;
the multitude of the city shall
be
left;
the
forts
and towers
shall
be
for dens for
ever
, a joy of wild asses ,
a pasture of flocks
;
Surely
the palace
hath
been
left,
The multitude of the city forsaken,
Fort
and watch-tower
hath
been
for dens unto
the
age
, A joy of wild asses --
a pasture of herds
;
Until
the spirit be
poured
upon
us
from on high, and the
wilderness be
a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be
counted
for a forest.
Till
emptied
out
on
us
is
the Spirit from on high, And a
wilderness hath
become
a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is
reckoned
.
Then
judgment
shall
dwell
in the wilderness, and righteousness remain
in the fruitful field.
And
dwelt
in the wilderness hath
judgment
, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth
.
And the
work of righteousness shall
be
peace ;
and the
effect
of righteousness quietness
and assurance
for
ever
.
And a
work of the
righteousness hath
been
peace ,
And a
service
of the
righteousness --
Keeping
quiet
and confidence
unto
the
age
.
And my people shall
dwell
in a peaceable
habitation, and in sure
dwellings
, and in quiet resting places ;
And dwelt
hath
My people in a peaceful
habitation, And in stedfast
tabernacles
, And in quiet resting -
places .
When
it shall
hail,
coming
down on
the forest ;
and the city shall
be
low in
a
low
place
.
And
it hath
hailed
in
the
going
down of
the forest ,
And in
the valley
is
the
city low.
Blessed
are ye that
sow
beside
all waters, that
send
forth thither
the feet
of the ox and the ass .
Happy
`
are '
ye sowing
by
all waters, Sending
forth the foot
of the ox and the ass !
