KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Righteous art thou, O LORD
, when I plead with
thee :
yet
let
me
talk
with thee of
thy
judgments:
Wherefore doth
the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore
are
all they
happy
that
deal
very
treacherously?
Righteous `
art '
Thou, O Jehovah
, When I plead towards
thee ,
Only,
judgments
do
I
speak
with Thee ,
Wherefore did
the way of the wicked prosper? At
rest
have
been
all treacherous
dealers.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root :
they grow
, yea, they bring
forth
fruit :
thou
art
near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root ,
They go
on
, yea, they have
made
fruit ,
Near `art'
Thou
in their mouth, And far off
from their reins.
But
thou, O LORD
, knowest
me:
thou hast seen
me, and tried mine
heart toward
thee :
pull
them out
like
sheep for
the
slaughter, and prepare
them for the
day of slaughter.
And
Thou, O Jehovah
, Thou hast known
me, Thou
seest
me,
and hast
tried my
heart with
Thee ,
Draw
them away
as
sheep to
slaughter, And separate
them for a
day of slaughter.
How
long
shall
the land
mourn, and the herbs
of every
field wither ,
for the wickedness of them
that
dwell
therein?
the
beasts
are
consumed
, and the
birds;
because they said, He shall
not see our last
end.
Till
when
doth
the earth
mourn, And the herb
of the
whole
field wither ?
For the wickedness of those
dwelling
in
it
, Consumed
have
been
beast
and fowl,
Because they said, `
He doth
not see our latter
end. '
If
thou hast run with
the
footmen
, and they have
wearied
thee, then
how canst
thou contend
with horses ?
and
if
in the land of peace, wherein
thou trustedst,
they
wearied
thee,
then
how wilt
thou do
in the swelling
of Jordan ?
For
--
with
footmen
thou hast run, And they weary
thee, And
how dost
thou fret
thyself
with horses !
Even
in the land of peace, `In
which'
thou art
confident
--
And
how dost
thou in the rising
of Jordan !
For even thy brethren ,
and the house of thy father, even they have
dealt treacherously with
thee ;
yea
, they have
called a
multitude
after thee :
believe
them
not, though
they speak fair
words
unto
thee.
For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they dealt treacherously against
thee, Even
they --
they
called after thee fully,
Trust
not in
them
, when
they speak to
thee good
things
.
I have forsaken mine
house, I have left mine heritage;
I have given the dearly
beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
I have forsaken My
house, I have left Mine inheritance,
I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.
Mine heritage
is
unto
me as a lion in the
forest ;
it
crieth
out
against me :
therefore have
I hated it
.
Mine inheritance
hath
been
to
Me as a lion in a
forest ,
She
gave
forth
against Me with
her
voice,
Therefore I have
hated her
.
Mine
heritage
is
unto
me
as
a speckled bird,
the birds
round about are
against her ;
come ye
, assemble all
the
beasts
of the field, come to
devour
.
A speckled fowl
`is'
Mine
inheritance
to
Me?
Is
the fowl
round about against her ?
Come, assemble ,
every
beast
of the field, Come ye
for
food
.
Many pastors
have
destroyed
my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under
foot
, they have made my pleasant
portion a desolate
wilderness.
Many shepherds
did
destroy
My vineyard, They have trodden down
My portion, They have made My desirable
portion Become
a wilderness --
a
desolation
.
They
have
made it desolate
, and
being
desolate
it
mourneth
unto me ;
the whole
land is
made
desolate
, because
no man
layeth
it to heart.
He
hath
made it become
a
desolation
, The
desolation
hath
mourned
unto Me ,
Desolated
hath
been
all
the land, But
there
is
no one
laying
it to heart.
The
spoilers
are
come
upon
all high places through
the wilderness:
for the sword of the
LORD
shall
devour
from the one
end of the land even to
the other
end of the land :
no flesh
shall
have
peace.
On
all high places in
the plain
have
spoilers
come
in,
For the sword of Jehovah
is
consuming,
From the end of the land even unto
the end of the land ,
There
is
no peace to
any
flesh
.
They have
sown
wheat, but
shall
reap
thorns :
they have put
themselves
to
pain,
but
shall
not
profit :
and they shall
be
ashamed of your revenues
because of the fierce
anger
of the LORD
.
They sowed
wheat, and
have
thorns reaped,
They have become
sick
--
they
profit not,
And they have
been
ashamed of your increases,
Because of the fierceness
of the anger
of
Jehovah
.
Thus saith
the
LORD
against
all mine
evil neighbours, that
touch
the inheritance which
I have
caused my people Israel to inherit ;
Behold
, I will
pluck
them out
of
their land
, and pluck
out
the house of Judah from
among
them
.
Thus said
Jehovah
concerning
all my
evil neighbours, who
are
striking
against
the inheritance that
I caused my people --
Israel --
to inherit :
`Lo
, I am
plucking
them from
off
their ground
, And the house of Judah I
pluck
out
of
their
midst
.
And it shall
come
to
pass
, after that
I
have
plucked
them out I will
return
, and have compassion
on
them, and will
bring
them again
, every
man
to his heritage
, and every
man
to his land.
And it hath
been
, after My
plucking
them out ,
I turn
back
, and have pitied
them, And I
have
brought
them back
, Each
to his inheritance
, and each
to his land.
And it shall
come to pass, if they will
diligently
learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The
LORD
liveth ;
as they taught my people to swear by Baal ;
then shall
they be
built in the midst of my people.
And it hath
come to pass, If they learn well
the ways of My people, To swear by My name, `Jehovah
liveth ,'
As they taught My people to swear by Baal ,
Then they have
been
built up
in the midst of My people.
But
if they will
not obey
, I will
utterly
pluck
up and
destroy
that nation, saith
the
LORD.
And
if they do
not hearken
, Then
I have
plucked
up that nation, Plucking
up
and
destroying,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!'
