Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Hear ye
the word, O house of Israel ,
That
Jehovah
hath
spoken
for
you
.
Hear the word that
the
LORD
speaks
to
you
, O house of Israel.
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.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “Do
not
learn
the ways
of the nations or
be
terrified
by the signs in
the heavens, though
the nations themselves
are terrified
by them.
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,
For the customs
of the peoples are worthless;
they
cut
down
a tree from the
forest ;
it
is
shaped
with
a
chisel
by
the hands of a
craftsman.
With silver and with
gold they
beautify
it ,
With nails
and with
hammers
they
fix
it
, And
it doth
not stumble
.
They
adorn
it
with silver and gold and
fasten
it with hammer
and nails
, so
that
it will
not totter
.
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
.
Like
scarecrows
in
a cucumber
patch
, their
idols
cannot
speak .
They must
be carried
because
they
cannot
walk.
Do
not fear
them, for they can
do no harm
, and
neither
can
they
do any
good. ”
Because
there is none like Thee
, O Jehovah,
Great `art'
Thou
, and great
Thy
name in might
.
There is none like You
, O LORD.
You
are
great, and Your
name is
mighty
in power
.
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
.
Who would
not fear You
, O
King of nations? This
is Your
due.
For among all the wise men
of the nations, and in all their kingdoms,
there is none like You
.
And
in
one
they are brutish
and foolish, An
instruction
of vanities
`is'
the
tree
itself.
But
they are altogether
senseless
and foolish, instructed
by
worthless
idols
made
of wood!
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
.
Hammered
silver is brought from
Tarshish
, and gold from Uphaz —
the
work of a
craftsman
from
the hands of a goldsmith.
Their
clothes
are
blue and purple, all fashioned
by
skilled
workers
.
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.
But
the
LORD
is the
true
God ;
He is the
living God and eternal
King .
The earth quakes
at
His
wrath
, and the
nations cannot
endure His indignation.
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.
Thus you
are
to tell
them :
“These
gods ,
who have
made
neither
the heavens nor
the
earth, will
perish from this
earth and from under these heavens. ”
The maker
of
the earth by His power ,
The
establisher
of
the world by His wisdom ,
Who,
by
His
understanding,
stretched forth
the heavens ,
The LORD
made
the earth by His power ;
He
established
the world by His wisdom and
stretched out
the heavens by
His
understanding.
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
.
When
He thunders
, the
waters in the heavens roar;
He causes
the
clouds
to rise
from the ends
of the earth .
He generates
the
lightning
with
the
rain
and brings
forth
the
wind from His storehouses
.
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.
Every man is
senseless
and
devoid
of
knowledge ;
every
goldsmith
is
put to shame by his
idols.
For his molten images
are
a
fraud,
and there is no breath in them.
Vanity
`are'
they, work of
erring
ones,
In the time of their inspection
they perish.
They are
worthless
, a
work to
be
mocked.
In the time of their punishment
they will
perish.
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.
The Portion of Jacob is
not
like
these
, for He
is
the
Maker
of all things, and Israel is the tribe
of His inheritance —
the
LORD
of Hosts is His name.
Gather from the
land thy
merchandise
, O
dweller
in
the
bulwark,
Gather up
your
belongings
from this
land, you
who
live
under
siege.
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
.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “Behold
, at
this
time
I will
sling
out the inhabitants of the land and bring
distress
upon
them so that they may
be
captured
. ”
Wo
to me for
my breaking,
Grievious
hath
been
my smiting,
And
I said, Only,
this `
is '
my sickness, and I bear it.
Woe
to me because
of
my brokenness;
my wound
is
grievous!
But
I said, “
This is truly
my sickness, and I must
bear it. ”
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.
My tent is
destroyed
, and all its
ropes
are
snapped.
My sons have departed
from me and are no
more .
I
have
no
one
left
to
pitch
my tent or
set
up my curtains.
For the shepherds have become brutish,
And
Jehovah
they have
not sought,
Therefore they have not acted
wisely
, And all their flock is scattered.
For the shepherds have become senseless;
they do
not seek
the
LORD.
Therefore they have not prospered
, and all their flock is scattered.
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
.
Listen!
The
sound
of a report is
coming—
a great commotion
from the land
to the north.
The
cities of Judah will
be
made
a desolation, a haunt
for
jackals
.
I have
known
, O Jehovah
, that not
of
man
`is'
his
way ,
Not of
man
the
going
and
establishing
of
his step
.
I know
, O LORD
, that a
man’s
way is
not his own;
no
one
who
walks
directs
his
own
steps
.
Chastise
me, O Jehovah
, only in
judgment,
Not in Thine
anger, lest
Thou
make
me small
.
Correct
me, O LORD
, but
only with
justice—
not in Your
anger, or
You
will
bring
me to
nothing
.
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!
Pour out Your
wrath
on the nations that do
not acknowledge
You
, and on the families that do
not call
on
Your
name .
For they have devoured
Jacob ;
they have consumed
him and finished
him
off;
they have devastated
his
homeland.
