YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“
I revealed
Myself
to
those who did
not ask
for
Me;
I was
found by those who did
not seek
Me .
To
a nation that
did
not call
My name ,
I
said,
‘Here
I
am!
Here
I
am!’
I have
been
inquired
of
by
those who asked
not ,
I have
been
found by those who sought
Me
not ,
I
have
said,
`Behold
Me ,
behold
Me,'
Unto
a nation not calling
in
My name .
All
day
long
I have held
out My hands to
an obstinate
people who walk
in the wrong
path,
who
follow
their own imaginations,
I have spread
out My hands all
the
day
Unto
an apostate
people ,
Who are
going
in the way
not
good
after
their own thoughts.
to
a
people who continually
provoke
Me to My face, sacrificing in the
gardens and burning
incense
on altars
of
brick,
The
people who are
provoking
Me to anger,
To
My face continually
, Sacrificing in gardens ,
and making
perfume
on the
bricks:
sitting
among the
graves
, spending
nights
in secret
places, eating the
meat
of pigs
and polluted
broth
from
their bowls
.
Who
are
dwelling
among sepulchres
, And
lodge
in reserved
places, Who
are
eating flesh
of the
sow,
And a
piece
of
abominable
things
--
their vessels
.
They
say
, ‘
Keep to yourself;
do
not
come near
me, for I am
holier
than
you!’
Such
people
are smoke in My
nostrils
, a fire that
burns
all day long
.
Who
are
saying
, `
Keep to thyself,
come not
nigh
to
me, For I have
declared
thee
unholy.'
These
`
are '
a
smoke in Mine
anger
, A fire burning
all the
day.
Behold
, it is written before Me: I will
not keep
silent, but I
will
repay
; I will
pay
it
back
into their laps
,
Lo
, it is written before Me: `
I am
not silent, but have
recompensed
; And
I have
recompensed
into their bosom
,
both
for
your iniquities and for
those
of your fathers, ”
says
the
LORD.
“Because
they
burned
incense
on the mountains and scorned
Me
on the hills
, I will
measure
into
their
laps
full
payment
for
their former deeds
. ”
Your iniquities ,
and the
iniquities
of your fathers together
, said
Jehovah,
Who
have
made
perfume
on the mountains ,
And on the heights
have
reproached
Me
, And
I have
measured
their former work
into
their
bosom
. '
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
As the new wine is found in a
cluster of
grapes
, and men
say
, ‘Do
not
destroy it ,
for it
contains
a blessing, ’
so I will
act
on
behalf
of
My servants ;
I
will
not destroy them
all
.
Thus
said
Jehovah
: As the new wine is found in the
cluster, And one
hath
said
, `
Destroy it not
for a blessing `is'
in
it
, '
So I do
for
My servants '
sake,
not to
destroy the
whole
.
And I will
bring
forth
descendants
from Jacob, and heirs
from Judah ;
My elect
will
possess My mountains
, and My servants will
dwell there.
And I have
brought
out
from Jacob a
seed
, And from Judah a
possessor
of
My mount,
And
possess it
do
My chosen
ones
, And My servants do
dwell there.
Sharon will
become
a
pasture
for flocks
, and the Valley of Achor a
resting
place
for herds
, for My people who seek
Me.
And
Sharon hath
been
for the
habitation
of
a
flock
, And the valley of Achor for the
lying
down
of
a
herd
, For My people who have
sought
Me.
But
you
who
forsake
the
LORD
, who forget
My holy mountain, who set
a table for
Fortune
and fill
bowls
of
mixed
wine
for Destiny,
And
ye
`are'
those
forsaking
Jehovah
, Who are
forgetting
My holy mountain, Who are
setting
in
array
for
Gad
a table ,
And who
are
filling
for Meni
a
mixture.
I will
destine
you for the sword, and you
will
all kneel
down to
be
slaughtered
, because I called and you
did
not answer
, I spoke
and you
did
not listen;
you
did
evil in My
sight
and chose
that in
which I did
not delight
. ”
And
I have
numbered
you for the sword, And all of
you
for
slaughter
bow
down, Because I called ,
and ye
have
not answered
, I have
spoken,
and ye
have
not hearkened,
And
ye
do
the
evil thing
in Mine
eyes,
And on
that which I desired
not --
fixed
.
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: “
My servants will
eat, but
you
will
go
hungry;
My servants will
drink, but
you
will
go
thirsty;
My servants will
rejoice, but
you
will
be
put
to
shame.
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo,
My servants do
eat, and
ye
do
hunger,
Lo,
My servants do
drink, and
ye
do
thirst,
Lo,
My servants rejoice, and
ye
are
ashamed,
My servants will
shout
for
joy with
a
glad
heart, but
you
will
cry out
with
a
heavy
heart and wail
with
a
broken
spirit.
Lo,
My servants sing
from
joy of
heart, And
ye
cry from
pain
of
heart ,
And from
breaking
of
spirit ye
do
howl
.
You
will
leave
behind
your name as
a
curse
for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD
will
slay
you;
but
to His servants He will
give
another name.
And
ye
have
left
your name For an
oath
for
My chosen ones, And the Lord Jehovah
hath
put
thee
to death,
And
to
His servants He giveth
another name.
Whoever
invokes
a
blessing in the land
will
do
so
by
the God of truth
, and whoever
takes
an
oath
in the land
will
swear by the God of truth.
For
the former troubles
will
be
forgotten and hidden
from My
sight
.
So
that
he
who
is
blessing himself
in the earth,
Doth
bless
himself
In
the God of faithfulness
, And he
who
is
swearing
in the earth,
Doth
swear by the God of faithfulness,
Because
the former distresses
have
been
forgotten ,
And because
they
have
been
hid
from Mine
eyes
.
For behold
, I will
create
new heavens and a new earth .
The former things will
not be
remembered, nor will
they come
to
mind
.
For, lo,
I am
creating
new heavens ,
and a new earth ,
And
the former things are
not remembered, Nor do
they ascend
on
the
heart
.
But be
glad
and rejoice forever
in
what
I create;
for I will
create
Jerusalem to
be
a joy
and its
people to
be
a delight
.
But joy
ye,
and rejoice for
ever,
that
I `am'
Creator,
For ,
lo,
I am
creating
Jerusalem a rejoicing,
And her
people a joy
.
I will
rejoice
in Jerusalem and take
delight
in My people .
The sounds
of weeping and crying will
no
longer
be
heard
in
her
.
And
I have
rejoiced
in Jerusalem ,
And have
joyed
in My people ,
And
not
heard
in
her
any
more
Is
the voice
of weeping ,
and the
voice
of
crying.
No
longer
will
a
nursing
infant
live
but
a few
days, or
an old
man fail
to
live
out
his years.
For the youth will
die
at
a hundred years, and he
who
fails
to
reach
a hundred will
be
considered
accursed
.
There
is
not
thence
any
more
a suckling
of
days, And
an aged
man who
doth
not
complete
his days,
For the youth a hundred years old
dieth
, And the
sinner,
a hundred years
old,
is
lightly
esteemed
.
They will
build
houses and dwell
in
them;
they
will
plant
vineyards and eat
their fruit.
And
they have
built
houses ,
and inhabited,
And
planted
vineyards ,
and eaten
their fruit.
No
longer
will
they build houses
for
others
to
inhabit, nor
plant for
others
to
eat .
For as is
the lifetime
of a tree ,
so
will
be
the days of My people, and My
chosen
ones
will
fully
enjoy
the work of their hands.
They do
not
build ,
and
another
inhabit, They
do
not
plant ,
and
another
eat ,
For as the days
of a tree `are'
the days of My people, And the work of their hands wear
out
do
My
chosen
ones
.
They will
not labor
in
vain
or
bear
children
doomed
to
disaster;
for they
will
be
a people
blessed
by
the LORD—
they and their descendants
with them.
They labour
not for a vain
thing,
Nor
do
they
bring
forth
for
trouble,
For
the seed
of
the
blessed
of
Jehovah
`are'
they ,
And their offspring
with them.
Even
before
they call, I will
answer, and
while
they are still
speaking, I will
hear.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
They do
not
yet
call, and
I answer, They are yet
speaking, and
I hear.
The
wolf and the
lamb will
feed together
, and the
lion will
eat
straw
like
the
ox, but
the
food
of
the serpent will
be
dust .
They will
neither
harm
nor destroy on
all My holy mountain, ”
says
the
LORD.
Wolf and lamb do
feed as
one
, And a
lion as
an
ox eateth
straw
, As
to
the serpent --
dust `is'
its
food,
They do
no
evil,
nor destroy ,
In
all My holy mountain, said
Jehovah!
