King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And I said
, Hear, I pray you, O
heads of Jacob, and ye princes
of the house of Israel ;
Is it not for you to know judgment?
And I say
, `
Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges
of the house of Israel ,
Is it not for you to know the
judgment?
Who hate
the
good, and love
the
evil ;
who
pluck
off
their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones ;
Ye
who are
hating
good, and loving
evil ,
Taking
violently
their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones ,
Who also
eat
the flesh of my people, and flay
their skin from off them ;
and they
break
their bones, and chop
them in
pieces,
as for
the
pot, and as flesh within
the caldron.
And
who have
eaten
the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have
stript,
And their bones they
have
broken
, And they
have
spread
`
them '
out
as in
a
pot, And as flesh in
the midst
of
a
caldron.
Then shall
they cry unto the
LORD
, but
he will
not hear
them :
he
will
even
hide
his face from them at that time, as they have behaved
themselves
ill
in
their doings.
Then do
they cry unto Jehovah
, And
He doth
not answer
them ,
And
hideth
His face from them at that time, As they have made
evil
their doings.
Thus saith
the
LORD
concerning the prophets that
make
my people err, that
bite
with their teeth, and cry,
Peace ;
and he that
putteth
not into
their mouths
, they even
prepare
war
against him.
Thus said
Jehovah
concerning the prophets Who
are
causing
My people to
err, Who
are
biting
with their teeth, And have
cried
`
Peace ,'
And he who
doth
not give
unto
their mouth
, They have
sanctified
against him war
.
Therefore night shall
be
unto
you,
that
ye shall
not
have a
vision ;
and
it
shall
be
dark
unto
you
, that
ye shall
not
divine;
and the sun shall
go
down
over
the prophets, and the
day
shall
be
dark
over them.
Therefore a
night ye have without
vision, And
darkness
ye have
without
divination,
And gone
in
hath
the sun on
the prophets, And black
over them hath
been
the
day
.
Then
shall
the seers be
ashamed
, and the diviners confounded:
yea
, they
shall
all
cover
their lips;
for there
is no answer of
God.
And
ashamed
have
been
the seers, And confounded
have
been
the diviners, And
covered
their lip
have
all
of
them,
For their
is no answer ,
O
God.
But
truly
I am
full of power by the spirit of the
LORD
, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto
Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
And
yet
I have
been
full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah
, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to
Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
Hear this, I pray you, ye
heads of the house of Jacob, and princes
of the house of Israel, that
abhor
judgment, and pervert
all equity
.
Hear this, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye
judges
of the house of Israel, Who
are
making
judgment abominable
, And all uprightness
do
pervert
.
They
build
up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Building
up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
The
heads thereof
judge
for reward
, and the
priests thereof
teach
for hire, and the
prophets thereof
divine
for money:
yet
will
they lean upon
the
LORD
, and
say
, Is not the
LORD
among
us
? none
evil can
come upon us.
Her
heads for a
bribe
do
judge
, And her
priests for hire do
teach
, And her
prophets for silver
divine,
And
on
Jehovah
they lean, saying
, `
Is not Jehovah
in
our
midst
? Evil doth
not
come in
upon us. '
Therefore shall
Zion
for your sake be
plowed
as
a field, and Jerusalem shall
become
heaps, and the mountain
of the house as
the
high places of the
forest .
Therefore ,
for your sake ,
Zion
is
ploughed
a field, and Jerusalem is
heaps, And the mount
of the house `is'
for
high places of a
forest !
