Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
The righteous hath
perished
, And there
is
none
laying
`
it '
to heart ,
And men of
kindness
are gathered
, Without
any
considering that from
the face
of
evil
Gathered
is the righteous
one
.
The righteous perisheth
, and no
man
layeth
it to heart :
and merciful
men are taken
away
, none
considering that the righteous
is taken
away
from
the evil
to
come
.
He entereth
into peace ,
they rest on
their beds, `
Each '
is
going
straightforward
.
He shall
enter
into peace :
they shall
rest in
their beds, each one
walking
in
his
uprightness
.
And
ye,
come
near hither, O
sons of a
sorceress, seed of an
adulterer ,
Even
thou
dost
commit
whoredom
.
But
draw
near hither, ye
sons of the
sorceress, the
seed of the
adulterer and
the
whore
.
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom enlarge
ye the
mouth ?
Prolong
ye
the tongue? Are not
ye children of transgression ?
a false
seed ?
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make
ye a
wide
mouth ,
and
draw
out
the tongue? are ye not
children of transgression ,
a seed of
falsehood.
Who
are
inflamed
among
oaks,
under every green tree, Slaughtering
the children in valleys ,
Under clefts
of the rocks .
Enflaming
yourselves
with
idols
under every green tree, slaying
the children in the
valleys under the
clifts
of the rocks ?
Among the smooth things
of a
brook
`
is '
thy portion ,
They --
they `
are '
thy lot ,
Also
to them thou
hast poured out
an
oblation
, Thou hast caused
a present
to
ascend,
For
these
things
am
I comforted
?
Among the smooth stones
of the
stream
is thy portion ;
they ,
they are thy lot :
even
to them hast thou
poured a
drink
offering
, thou hast offered
a meat
offering.
Should
I receive
comfort
in
these
?
On
a mountain,
high
and exalted,
Thou
hast set thy couch,
Also
thither thou hast
gone
up to make
a
sacrifice.
Upon
a lofty
and high
mountain
hast thou
set thy bed:
even
thither wentest
thou up to offer
sacrifice.
And
behind the door,
and the post,
Thou
hast set up thy memorial,
For from
Me
thou hast removed
, and goest
up ,
Thou hast enlarged thy couch
, And dost
covenant for
thyself
among
them ,
Thou hast
loved
their couch,
the
station
thou sawest ,
Behind the doors
also
and the posts
hast thou
set up thy remembrance:
for thou hast discovered
thyself
to
another
than
me
, and art
gone
up ;
thou hast enlarged thy bed
, and made
thee
a
covenant with
them ;
thou lovedst
their bed
where
thou sawest it.
And goest
joyfully
to the king in
ointment, And dost
multiply
thy perfumes, And sendest
thine
ambassadors
afar
off, And humblest
thyself unto Sheol
.
And thou
wentest
to the king with
ointment, and didst
increase
thy perfumes, and didst
send
thy
messengers
far
off, and didst
debase
thyself even
unto hell
.
In the greatness of thy way thou
hast
laboured,
Thou hast
not said
, `It
is desperate.'
The life of thy
hand thou
hast
found,
Therefore thou hast
not been
sick
.
Thou
art
wearied
in the greatness of thy way ;
yet
saidst
thou not, There
is no
hope:
thou
hast
found
the life of thine
hand ;
therefore thou wast
not grieved
.
And of whom hast thou been afraid ,
and
fearest
, That thou liest
, and Me
hast not remembered ?
Thou
hast
not
laid `
it '
to thy heart ,
Am
not I silent,
even from
of old ?
And Me
thou fearest not?
And of whom hast thou been afraid or
feared
, that thou hast
lied
, and hast not remembered me,
nor
laid it to thy heart ?
have
not I held
my
peace
even of old ,
and thou fearest me
not?
I declare thy righteousness, and thy works ,
And
they do
not profit thee.
I will
declare thy righteousness, and thy works ;
for
they shall
not profit thee.
When thou criest, let thy gatherings
deliver thee ,
And
all
of
them
carry
away
doth
wind ,
Take
away doth
vanity ,
And
whoso
is
trusting
in Me inheriteth
the land, And doth
possess
My holy mountain .
When thou criest, let thy companies
deliver thee ;
but
the
wind shall
carry
them
all
away ;
vanity shall
take
them:
but
he
that
putteth
his
trust
in me shall
possess
the land, and shall
inherit
my holy mountain ;
And he
hath
said
, `Raise
up, raise
up, prepare a
way, Lift
a
stumbling-block
out of the way of My people. '
And shall
say
, Cast
ye
up, cast
ye
up, prepare the
way, take
up
the
stumblingblock
out of the way of my people.
For thus said
the high and exalted
One ,
Inhabiting
eternity, and
holy
`is'
His
name :
`
In the high and holy place I
dwell
, And
with the
bruised
and humble of
spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised
ones ,'
For thus saith
the high and lofty
One that
inhabiteth
eternity, whose
name is
Holy;
I
dwell
in the high and holy place, with him
also
that
is
of
a
contrite
and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the
contrite
ones .
For ,
not
to
the
age
do
I strive,
nor
for ever am
I wroth ,
For the spirit from
before Me is
feeble
, And the souls I have made.
For I will
not
contend
for ever ,
neither
will
I be
always
wroth :
for the spirit should
fail
before me, and the souls which
I have made.
For the iniquity of his dishonest
gain,
I have
been
wroth, and I
smite
him, Hiding
--
and am
wroth, And he goeth
on turning
back
in the way of his heart.
For the iniquity of his covetousness
was
I wroth, and smote
him :
I
hid
me
, and was
wroth, and he went
on frowardly
in the way of his heart.
His
ways
I have seen, and I
heal him ,
yea,
I lead him, And recompense
comforts to
him and to his mourning
ones
.
I have seen his
ways
, and will
heal him :
I will
lead him also
, and restore
comforts unto
him and to his mourners
.
Producing
the fruit of the lips ,
`
Peace, peace ,'
to the
far off, and to the
near, And I have
healed
him ,
said
Jehovah
.
I
create
the fruit of the lips ;
Peace, peace to him
that
is
far off, and to him
that
is
near, saith
the
LORD;
and I will
heal
him.
And
the wicked `
are '
as
the driven
out
sea, For
to
rest
it is
not
able
, And
its
waters cast out
filth
and
mire.
But
the wicked are like
the troubled
sea, when
it cannot
rest
, whose
waters cast up
mire and
dirt
.
There is no peace, said
my God, to the wicked !
There is no peace, saith
my God, to the wicked .
