Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
They
asked
of
Jehovah
rain in a
time
of
latter
rain,
Jehovah
is
making
lightnings
, And rain
`in'
showers
He doth
give to
them.
To
each
--
the
herb
in the field.
Ask
the
LORD
for
rain in springtime;
the
LORD
makes
the
storm
clouds
, and He will
give everyone
showers
of
rain
and
crops
in the field.
Because
the
teraphim
did
speak iniquity,
And the
diviners have
seen
a
falsehood,
And
dreams
of
the
vanity
they
speak,
`With'
vanity
they give
comfort ,
Therefore they
have
journeyed
as
a
flock,
They
are
afflicted
, for there
is
no
shepherd.
For
idols
speak deceit
and diviners see
illusions;
they tell
false
dreams
and
offer
empty
comfort .
Therefore the
people
wander
like
sheep
, oppressed
for lack
of
a
shepherd.
Against the shepherds did
Mine
anger
burn
, And against
the
he-goats
I lay
a
charge,
For inspected
hath
Jehovah
of Hosts His flock, the house of Judah ,
And
set
them as
His beauteous
horse
in battle.
“My
anger
burns
against the shepherds, and I will
punish
the
leaders.
For the
LORD
of Hosts attends
to
His flock, the house of Judah ;
He
will
make
them like
His royal
steed
in battle.
From him
`is'
a
corner-stone
, From him a
nail
, from
him
a
battle -
bow ,
From
him
goeth
forth
every exactor
together.
The
cornerstone
will
come
from Judah
, the
tent
peg
from him, as
well
as
the
battle bow and
every ruler
together.
And
they have
been
as
heroes
, Treading
in mire of out-places
in
battle,
And
they have
fought,
for
Jehovah
`
is '
with them, And have
put to shame riders
of
horses
.
They will
be
like
mighty
men
in
battle
, trampling
the
enemy
in the
mire of the
streets.
They will
fight
because
the
LORD
is with them, and they
will
put the
horsemen
to shame.
And
I have
made
mighty
the house of Judah ,
And the house of Joseph I
do
save,
And
I have
caused
them to
dwell,
for
I have loved
them, And they have
been
as `if'
I had not cast
them off,
For I `
am '
Jehovah
their God, And I answer them.
I will
strengthen
the house of Judah and save
the house of Joseph .
I will
restore
them because
I have compassion
on
them, and they will
be
as though
I had not rejected
them .
For I am the
LORD
their God, and I will
answer them.
And
Ephraim hath
been
as
a hero
, And rejoiced
hath
their heart
as wine ,
And
their sons
see ,
and they
have
rejoiced,
Rejoice
doth
their heart
in Jehovah
.
Ephraim will
be
like
a mighty
man
, and their hearts
will
be
glad
as with
wine .
Their children
will
see it
and be
joyful;
their hearts
will
rejoice
in the
LORD
.
I hist
for them ,
and
I
gather them
, For I have redeemed them ,
And they have
multiplied
as they did
multiply
.
I will
whistle
for them to
gather, for I have redeemed them ;
and they will
be
as numerous
as
they once
were
.
And
I sow them among peoples
, And
in
far-off
places
they remember Me ,
And
they have
lived
with
their sons,
And they
have
turned
back
.
Though
I sow them among the
nations
, they will
remember Me in
distant
lands;
they and
their children
will
live
and return
.
And
I have
brought
them back from the
land
of
Egypt ,
And from
Asshur
I
do
gather them ,
And
unto
the
land
of
Gilead
and
Lebanon
I do
bring them in,
And there
is not
found for them `space'
.
I will
bring
them back from Egypt and gather them from
Assyria.
I will
bring them to
Gilead
and Lebanon
until
no
more
room
is found for them.
And
He
hath
passed
over
through the sea ,
And
hath
pressed
and smitten
billows
in
the sea ,
And
dried
up
have
been
all depths of a
flood,
And
brought
down
hath
been
the excellency
of Asshur
, And the rod
of Egypt doth
turn
aside
.
They
will
pass
through the sea of
distress
and strike
the waves
of
the
sea ;
all the
depths of the Nile
will
dry
up.
The
pride
of Assyria
will
be
brought
down
, and the scepter
of Egypt will
depart
.
And
I have
made
them mighty
in Jehovah
, And in His name they walk up
and
down
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!
I will
strengthen
them in the
LORD
, and in His name they will
walk, ”
declares
the
LORD.
