Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
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
ye
of the
LORD
rain in the
time of the
latter rain ;
so
the
LORD
shall
make
bright
clouds
, and give them showers
of
rain,
to every
one
grass
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
the idols
have
spoken
vanity
, and the diviners have seen a lie
, and have
told
false
dreams ;
they comfort in
vain:
therefore they went
their
way
as a flock, they were
troubled
, because
there was
no 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.
Mine
anger
was
kindled
against the shepherds, and I
punished
the goats :
for the
LORD
of hosts hath
visited
his flock the house of Judah, and hath
made
them as his goodly
horse in the
battle.
From
him `is'
a
corner -stone
, From
him a
nail, from
him a
battle -
bow, From
him goeth
forth
every exactor
together.
Out
of
him came
forth
the
corner, out
of
him the
nail, out
of
him the
battle bow, out
of
him every oppressor
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.
And they shall
be
as mighty
men
, which
tread
down
their
enemies
in the
mire of the
streets
in the
battle :
and they shall
fight
, because
the
LORD
is with them, and the
riders on
horses shall
be
confounded
.
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.
And I will
strengthen
the house of Judah, and I
will
save
the house of Joseph, and I will
bring
them again
to place
them;
for I have mercy
upon
them :
and they shall
be
as though
I had not cast them off :
for I am the
LORD
their God, and will
hear
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
.
And they
of
Ephraim shall
be
like
a mighty
man
, and their heart shall
rejoice
as through
wine :
yea
, their children
shall
see it
, and be
glad;
their heart shall
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
hiss
for them, and gather them ;
for I have redeemed them :
and they shall
increase
as they have
increased
.
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
.
And I will
sow them among the
people:
and they shall
remember me in
far
countries;
and they shall
live
with their children
, and turn
again
.
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 again
also
out
of
the land of Egypt, and gather them out
of
Assyria;
and I
will
bring
them
into
the land of Gilead and Lebanon ;
and place
shall
not be
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
.
And he shall
pass
through the sea with
affliction
, and shall
smite
the
waves
in the sea, and all the
deeps
of the
river
shall
dry
up:
and the pride
of Assyria
shall
be
brought
down
, and the sceptre
of Egypt shall
depart
away
.
And I have
made
them mighty
in Jehovah,
And in
His
name
they walk up and down, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!
And I will
strengthen
them in the
LORD;
and they shall
walk up and down in
his
name
, saith
the
LORD.
