YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“
At that time, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “
the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the
officials
, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the
people
of Jerusalem will
be
removed
from
their graves .
At that time, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, They
bring
the bones of the kings of Judah, And
the bones of its
princes
, And
the bones of the priests, And
the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants
of Jerusalem ,
Out
of
their graves ,
They
will
be
exposed
to the
sun and moon, and to all the host of heaven
which
they have loved, served, followed
, consulted
, and worshiped.
Their
bones
will
not be
gathered up
or
buried, but
will
become
like
dung lying
on the ground.
And
have
spread
them
to sun ,
and to
moon, And to all the host of the
heavens,
that
they have loved, And
that
they
have
served, And
that
they
have
walked
after
, And
that
they
have
sought
, And to
which
they
have
bowed
themselves,
They
are
not gathered ,
nor
buried, They
are
for
dung on the face
of
the
ground.
And wherever
I
have
banished
them,
the remnant of this evil family will
choose
death
over
life
, ”
declares
the LORD
of Hosts.
And chosen
is
death
rather
than
life
By
all
the remnant who
are
left
of this evil family, In
all
the remaining
places,
whither
I
have
driven
them,
An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts.
So
you
are
to
tell
them this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
Do men
fall and not get
up
again
? Does
one
turn away
and not return?
And
thou
hast
said
unto
them: Thus
said
Jehovah,
Do they
fall ,
and not rise
? Doth
he
turn back,
and not return?
Why
then
have
these
people turned
away?
Why
does
Jerusalem always
turn
away
? They cling
to
deceit ;
they refuse
to return
.
Wherefore
hath
this
people of
Jerusalem Turned
back
--
a
perpetual
backsliding
? They have
kept
hold
on
deceit ,
They have
refused
to turn
back
.
I have listened
and
heard;
they do not speak what
is
right .
No one
repents
of his wickedness, asking
, ‘
What have I done? ’
Everyone
has
pursued
his own
course
like
a horse charging
into battle.
I have given
attention,
yea,
I
hearken,
They do not speak right ,
No man
hath
repented
of his wickedness, Saying
, What have I done? Every
one
hath
turned
to
his courses,
As
a horse is
rushing
into battle.
Even the
stork in the sky
knows
her appointed
seasons .
The
turtledove
, the
swift
, and the thrush
keep
their
time of migration
, but
My people do
not know
the requirements
of the
LORD
.
Even a
stork in the heavens
hath
known
her seasons, And
turtle
, and swallow,
and
crane,
Have
watched
the time of their
coming
, And
--
My people have
not known
the judgment
of Jehovah
.
How can
you
say, ‘
We are wise, and the Law of the
LORD
is with us, ’
when
in
fact
the lying
pen of the
scribes has
produced
a
deception?
How do
ye
say, We `
are '
wise, And the law of Jehovah
`
is '
with us ?
Surely
, lo,
falsely
it
hath
wrought,
The false
pen of scribes .
The wise will
be
put
to
shame;
they
will
be
dismayed
and
trapped.
Since
they have rejected
the
word of the
LORD
, what
wisdom do
they
really
have?
Ashamed
have
been
the wise ,
They have been
affrighted,
and
are
captured,
Lo,
against
a
word of Jehovah
they
kicked
, And
the
wisdom of
what
--
have they
?
Therefore I will
give their wives to other
men
and
their fields to new
owners.
For from the least of
them
to
the greatest, all
are
greedy
for
gain ;
from prophet to
priest, all
practice
deceit
.
Therefore ,
I give their wives to others,
Their fields to dispossessors,
For from the least even
unto
the greatest, Every
one
is
gaining
dishonest
gain ,
From prophet even
unto
priest, every
one
is
dealing
falsely
.
They dress
the wound
of the daughter of My people with
very
little
care
, saying, ‘
Peace, peace ,’
when
there is no peace at
all
.
And
they heal
the breach
of the daughter of my people slightly
, Saying, Peace, peace !
and
there is no peace.
Are
they ashamed of
the
abomination
they have
committed?
No
, they have
no
shame
at all ;
they do
not even
know
how
to
blush.
So
they will
fall among the
fallen;
when
I
punish
them
, they will
collapse
, says
the
LORD
.
They were
ashamed when
they did
abomination!
Yea
, they are
not
at all ashamed,
And
blushing
they have
not known,
Therefore,
they do
fall among falling
ones
, In
the
time
of
their
inspection
they stumble
, said
Jehovah
.
I will
take
away
their
harvest
, declares
the
LORD.
There will
be
no grapes on
the vine, nor
figs on
the tree, and even
the leaf will
wither.
Whatever
I
have given
them
will
be
lost
to
them. ”
I utterly
consume
them
, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
There are
no grapes in
the vine, Yea,
there
are
no
figs in
the fig-
tree, And the leaf hath
faded,
And
the
strength
they
have passeth
from
them.
Why
are we just
sitting here
? Gather
together
, let
us
flee
to the fortified
cities and perish
there, for the
LORD
our God has
doomed
us .
He has
given
us poisoned
water
to drink, because
we have sinned against the
LORD
.
Wherefore
are we sitting still
? Be
gathered
, and
we
go
in
to the fenced
cities ,
And we
are
silent
there, For Jehovah
our God hath
made
us silent,
Yea,
He causeth
us to drink water
of
gall
, For
we have sinned against Jehovah
.
We
hoped
for peace ,
but
no good has
come
, for a time of healing, but
there
was
only
terror.
Looking
for peace --
and
there
is
no good, For a time of healing, and
lo,
terror.
The snorting of enemy
horses is
heard
from Dan.
At
the sound
of the neighing
of mighty steeds
, the whole
land quakes.
They come to
devour
the land and everything
in
it
, the city and all
who
dwell
in it.
From
Dan
hath
been
heard
the snorting of his
horses ,
From the voice
of the neighings
of his
mighty ones
, Trembled
hath
all
the land ,
And
they come in
and
consume
the land and its
fulness
, The city and the
inhabitants
in it.
“
For behold
, I will
send
snakes
among you, vipers that cannot
be
charmed
, and they will
bite
you, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
For, lo,
I am
sending
among you serpents
, Vipers that have
no
charmer
, And they have
bitten
you, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
My sorrow
is beyond
healing;
my heart is faint
within
me
.
My refreshing
for
me
`
is '
sorrow,
For
me
my heart `
is '
sick
.
Listen
to
the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far
away:
“
Is the
LORD
no
longer
in Zion? Is her King no
longer
there
? ”
“Why
have they provoked Me to
anger
with their carved
images, with their
worthless
foreign
idols
? ”
Lo,
the voice
of
a
cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar
off,
Is Jehovah
not
in Zion? is her king not
in
her
? Wherefore
have they provoked Me with their graven
images, With the
vanities
of
a
foreigner
?
“The
harvest has
passed, the
summer has
ended, but
we have not been saved. ”
Harvest hath
passed, summer hath
ended, And
we --
we
have not been saved.
For the
brokenness
of the daughter of my people I am
crushed.
I mourn;
horror
has
gripped
me.
For a
breach
of the daughter of my people have
I been
broken,
I have
been
black,
astonishment
hath
seized
me.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why
then
has
the health of the daughter of my people not
been
restored
?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there
no physician there? For
wherefore
hath
not
the health of the daughter of my people gone
up
?
