YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Thus saith
the
LORD,
Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement
, whom I have
put
away? or which of my creditors is
it
to
whom
I
have sold you? Behold
, for your iniquities have
ye sold yourselves
, and for your transgressions is
your mother put
away.
Thus said
Jehovah:
`
Where `
is '
this
--
the bill of your mother's divorce
, Whom I sent
away? Or to
which of My creditors have I
sold you? Lo
, for your iniquities ye have
been
sold, And for your transgressions Hath
your mother been
sent
away.
Wherefore ,
when
I came
, was
there no man
? when
I called, was
there none
to
answer?
Is my hand shortened
at all ,
that
it
cannot
redeem
? or
have
I
no
power to deliver? behold
, at
my rebuke I dry up the
sea, I make the
rivers a wilderness :
their fish stinketh, because
there is no water, and dieth for
thirst.
Wherefore have
I come
, and
there is
no one
? I called, and
there is none
answering,
Hath
My hand been
at all short
of
redemption
? And
is
there
not
in
me
power to deliver? Lo
, by
My rebuke I dry up a
sea, I make rivers a wilderness ,
Their fish stinketh, for
there is no water, And dieth with
thirst.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth
their covering.
I clothe the heavens `
with '
blackness, And sackcloth
I make their covering.
The Lord GOD
hath given me the tongue of the
learned
, that
I
should
know how
to speak
a word in
season
to
him
that
is
weary:
he wakeneth
morning by morning, he wakeneth
mine
ear to hear as the
learned
.
The Lord Jehovah
hath given to
me The tongue of taught
ones
, To
know to aid
the
weary
`by'
a word ,
He waketh
morning by morning, He waketh
for
me
an
ear to hear as taught
ones
.
The Lord GOD
hath
opened mine
ear, and I was
not rebellious,
neither
turned
away
back
.
The Lord Jehovah
opened for
me
the
ear, And I rebelled
not --
backward
I
moved
not
.
I
gave
my back to the
smiters
, and my cheeks to them
that
plucked
off
the
hair:
I hid not my
face
from shame and spitting.
My back I
have
given
to those
smiting
, And my cheeks to those
plucking
out,
My
face
I hid not from shame and spitting.
For
the Lord GOD
will
help me ;
therefore shall
I not be
confounded:
therefore have
I set my face like
a flint, and I know that I shall
not be
ashamed.
And
the Lord Jehovah
giveth
help to
me ,
Therefore I have
not been
ashamed,
Therefore I have
set my face as
a flint, And I know that I am
not ashamed.
He is near
that
justifieth
me ;
who will
contend with me? let
us
stand together :
who is mine adversary
? let him come near
to
me.
Near
`is'
He who
is justifying
me ,
Who doth
contend with me? We
stand together ,
who `
is '
mine opponent
? Let him come nigh
unto
me.
Behold
, the Lord GOD
will
help me ;
who is he that shall
condemn
me? lo, they
all shall
wax
old
as a garment ;
the
moth shall
eat them up
.
Lo
, the Lord Jehovah
giveth
help to
me ,
Who `
is '
he that declareth
me wicked
? Lo, all of
them
as a garment wear
out,
A
moth doth
eat them.
Who is among you that
feareth
the
LORD
, that
obeyeth
the voice of his servant, that walketh
in darkness
, and hath
no light
? let him trust in the name of the
LORD
, and stay
upon his God.
Who `
is '
among you, fearing
Jehovah,
Hearkening
to
the voice of His servant, That hath
walked
in dark
places
, And there
is
no brightness
for
him
? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah
, And lean
upon his God.
Behold
, all ye that
kindle
a fire, that
compass
yourselves
about
with
sparks :
walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that
ye have kindled.
This
shall
ye
have
of
mine
hand ;
ye shall
lie down in
sorrow.
Lo
, all ye kindling
a fire, girding
on
sparks ,
Walk ye
in the light of your fire, And in the sparks ye have caused
to
burn,
From
my
hand hath
this
been
to
you,
In
grief
ye lie down !
