YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
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?
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?
Ye
who are
hating
good, and loving
evil ,
Taking
violently
their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones ,
Who hate
the
good, and love
the
evil ;
who
pluck
off
their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones ;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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.
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.
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
.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
.
Building
up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
They
build
up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
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. '
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.
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 !
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 .
