King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Hear ye the word which
the
LORD
speaketh
unto
you
, O house of Israel :
Hear ye the word, O house of Israel ,
That
Jehovah
hath
spoken
for
you.
Thus saith
the
LORD,
Learn
not
the way of the heathen
, and be
not
dismayed
at
the signs of heaven;
for the heathen
are dismayed
at
them.
Thus said
Jehovah:
Unto
the way of the nations
accustom
not
yourselves
, And by
the signs of the
heavens
be
not
affrighted,
For the nations
are affrighted
by
them.
For the customs
of the people
are vain:
for one
cutteth
a tree out
of
the
forest, the
work of the hands of the
workman
, with the
axe .
For the statutes
of the peoples
are vanity,
For a tree from
a
forest hath
one
cut
, Work of the hands of an
artificer
, with an
axe ,
They
deck
it
with silver and with gold ;
they fasten
it with nails and with hammers, that
it move
not.
With silver and with gold they beautify
it ,
With nails and with hammers they
fix
it
, And
it doth
not stumble
.
They
are
upright
as the
palm tree
, but
speak not :
they must
needs
be
borne, because
they cannot
go.
Be not afraid of them ;
for they cannot
do evil, neither
also is
it
in
them
to do good.
As a
palm they
`are'
stiff
, and
they
speak not ,
They are
surely
borne, for
they step
not,
Be not afraid of them ,
for they do no
evil, Yea,
also to do good is
not
in
them
.
Forasmuch
as
there is none like unto
thee, O LORD;
thou
art
great, and thy name is
great
in might.
Because
there is none like Thee, O Jehovah,
Great `art'
Thou
, and great
Thy name in might.
Who would
not fear thee, O
King of nations? for to thee doth
it appertain:
forasmuch
as
among all the wise men
of the nations, and in all their kingdoms,
there is none like unto
thee.
Who doth
not fear Thee, king of the
nations? For to Thee it is
becoming,
For
among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom
there is none like Thee.
But
they are altogether
brutish and foolish :
the
stock
is
a
doctrine
of vanities.
And
in
one
they are brutish and foolish ,
An
instruction
of vanities `is'
the
tree
itself
.
Silver
spread into
plates
is
brought
from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the
work of the
workman
, and of the hands of the
founder:
blue and purple is their clothing :
they
are
all
the
work of cunning
men
.
Spread -out
silver
from Tarshish is
brought
, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an
artizan
, and of the hands of a
refiner,
Blue and purple `
is '
their clothing ,
Work of the
skilful
--
all
of
them
.
But
the
LORD
is the
true
God, he is the
living God, and an
everlasting
king :
at
his wrath the earth shall
tremble
, and the
nations shall
not be
able
to
abide
his indignation.
And
Jehovah
`
is '
a
God of
truth
, He `
is '
a
living God, and a
king age-during,
From
His wrath shake
doth
the earth, And nations endure
not His indignation.
Thus shall
ye say unto
them, The gods that
have
not
made
the heavens and the
earth, even
they shall
perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Thus do
ye say to
them, The gods Who
the heavens and earth have
not
made
, They do
perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.
He
hath
made
the earth by his power, he
hath
established
the world by his wisdom, and
hath
stretched out
the heavens by
his
discretion.
The maker
of
the
earth by His power, The establisher
of
the
world by His wisdom, Who,
by
His
understanding,
stretched forth
the heavens ,
When
he
uttereth
his
voice, there
is
a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the
vapours to ascend
from the ends
of the earth ;
he
maketh
lightnings with
rain, and bringeth forth
the
wind
out of
his treasures.
At
the
voice He
giveth
forth
, A multitude of waters `is'
in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come
up
from the end
of the earth ,
Lightnings for
rain He
hath
made
, And bringeth out wind
from
His treasures.
Every man is
brutish
in
his
knowledge :
every
founder
is confounded
by the
graven image :
for his molten image is
falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
Brutish
is
every man by
knowledge ,
Put
to
shame
is every
refiner
by a
graven image ,
For false
`is'
his molten image .
And there is no breath in them.
They
are
vanity, and
the
work of errors:
in the time of their visitation
they shall
perish.
Vanity `are'
they
, work of erring
ones,
In the time of their inspection
they perish.
The portion of Jacob is
not
like
them:
for he
is
the
former
of all things ;
and Israel is the rod of his inheritance :
The
LORD
of hosts is his name.
Not
like
these
`is'
the Portion of Jacob ,
For framer
of all things `is'
He,
And Israel `
is '
the rod of His inheritance ,
Jehovah
of Hosts `
is '
His name.
Gather up
thy
wares
out
of
the land, O inhabitant
of
the fortress.
Gather from
the land thy
merchandise
, O dweller
in
the bulwark,
For thus saith
the
LORD,
Behold
, I will
sling
out the inhabitants of the land at this once
, and will
distress
them, that they may
find
it
so
.
For thus said
Jehovah:
Lo
, I am
slinging
out the inhabitants of the land at this time
, And have
been
an
adversary
to
them, So
that they are
found
out
.
Woe
is
me for my hurt!
my wound
is
grievous;
but
I said, Truly
this is a
grief
, and I must
bear it.
Wo
to
me for my breaking,
Grievious
hath
been
my smiting,
And
I said, Only,
this `
is '
my
sickness
, and I bear it.
My tabernacle
is
spoiled, and all my cords are
broken :
my children
are
gone forth
of
me, and they are not :
there is none to
stretch
forth
my
tent
any more, and to
set
up my curtains.
My tent
hath
been
spoiled, And all my cords have
been
broken ,
My sons
have
gone out
from
me, and they are not ,
There is none stretching
out
any more my
tent
, And raising
up my curtains.
For the pastors
are
become brutish, and have not sought the
LORD:
therefore they shall
not prosper
, and all their flocks
shall
be
scattered.
For the shepherds
have
become brutish, And Jehovah
they
have not sought ,
Therefore they have
not acted
wisely
, And all their flock
is
scattered.
Behold,
the
noise
of the
bruit
is
come, and
a great commotion
out
of
the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate
, and
a den
of dragons.
A
voice
of a
report,
lo,
it
hath
come, Even
a great shaking
from
the north country, To make the cities of Judah a
desolation
, A habitation
of dragons.
O LORD
, I
know
that the
way
of man is
not
in
himself:
it
is not in
man that
walketh
to
direct
his steps
.
I
have
known,
O Jehovah
, that not
of man `
is '
his
way,
Not of
man the
going
and
establishing
of
his step
.
O
LORD,
correct
me, but
with
judgment ;
not in thine anger, lest thou bring
me to
nothing
.
Chastise
me, O
Jehovah,
only
in
judgment ,
Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make
me small
.
Pour out thy fury upon
the heathen
that know
thee
not, and upon
the families that call
not on
thy name :
for they have eaten up Jacob, and
devoured
him, and
consumed
him, and have
made
his habitation desolate .
Pour out Thy fury on
the nations
that have
not known
Thee
, And on
the families that have
not called
in
Thy name ,
For they have eaten up Jacob, Yea,
they
have
eaten
him up
, yea,
they
consume
him, And his habitation they
have
made
desolate !
