Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
Where is your
mother’s
certificate
of divorce with
which
I sent her
away? Or to which of My creditors did
I sell
you? Look
, you
were
sold
for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was
sent away.
Thus
said
Jehovah
: `
Where `
is '
this
--
the
bill
of your
mother's
divorce ,
Whom
I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have
I sold
you? Lo
, for your iniquities ye
have
been
sold
, And for your transgressions Hath
your mother been
sent away.
Why
was
no
one
there
when
I arrived?
Why
did
no one answer
when
I called ?
Is My hand too
short to
redeem
you
? Or
do
I
lack
the
strength
to deliver you
? Behold
, My rebuke dries
up the
sea ;
I turn
the
rivers into
a desert;
the
fish rot
for lack
of
water and die
of
thirst.
Wherefore
have
I come,
and
there
is
no one ?
I called ,
and
there
is none
answering,
Hath
My hand been
at
all
short of
redemption
? And
is
there
not
in
me
power
to deliver? Lo
, by
My rebuke I
dry
up a
sea ,
I make
rivers a wilderness,
Their
fish stinketh,
for there
is
no
water ,
And dieth
with
thirst.
I clothe the heavens in
black
and make
sackcloth their covering. ”
I clothe the heavens `with'
blackness,
And sackcloth I
make
their covering.
The Lord GOD
has
given Me the tongue of discipleship
, to sustain
the weary with
a word .
He awakens
Me
morning by morning ;
He awakens
My
ear to listen
as a
disciple
.
The Lord Jehovah
hath
given to
me The tongue of taught
ones
, To know
to
aid
the weary `by'
a word ,
He waketh
morning by morning ,
He waketh
for
me
an
ear to hear
as taught
ones
.
The Lord GOD
has
opened My
ears
, and I have
not been
rebellious,
nor
have
I turned
back
.
The Lord Jehovah
opened for
me
the
ear
, And I rebelled
not --
backward
I moved
not
.
I
offered
My back to those who
struck
Me
, and My cheeks to those who
tore
out My beard.
I did
not hide
My
face
from scorn
and spittle
.
My back I
have
given
to those smiting
, And my cheeks to those plucking
out ,
My face
I hid
not from shame
and spitting
.
Because
the Lord GOD
helps
Me, I have not been disgraced;
therefore I have set My face like
flint, and I know that I will
not be
put
to
shame
.
And
the Lord Jehovah
giveth
help
to
me, Therefore
I have not been ashamed,
Therefore I have set my face as
a
flint, And I know that I am
not ashamed
.
The
One
who vindicates
Me
is near.
Who will
dare
to
contend with Me? Let
us
confront
each
other!
Who has
a
case
against
Me
? Let him approach
Me !
Near
`is'
He
who is justifying
me,
Who doth
contend with me? We
stand
together,
who `is'
mine
opponent
? Let him come
nigh
unto
me .
Surely
the Lord GOD
helps
Me .
Who is there
to
condemn
Me? See
, they
will
all wear out like
a garment;
the
moths
will
devour
them.
Lo,
the Lord Jehovah
giveth
help
to
me ,
Who `
is '
he
that
declareth
me wicked
? Lo
, all of
them
as
a
garment
wear out ,
A moth
doth
eat
them.
Who among you fears
the
LORD
and
obeys
the voice of His Servant ?
Who
among
you
walks
in darkness
and has
no light
? Let him trust in the name of the
LORD;
let
him
lean on
his God.
Who `is'
among you ,
fearing
Jehovah,
Hearkening
to
the voice of His servant ,
That
hath
walked
in dark
places,
And there
is
no brightness
for
him
? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah,
And
lean upon
his God.
Behold
, all you
who
kindle
a fire, who
array
yourselves
with
firebrands
, walk in the light of your fire and of
the firebrands
you
have lit!
This
is
what
you
will
receive
from My hand :
You will
lie down in
a
place
of
torment.
Lo
, all ye
kindling
a fire, girding
on
sparks
, Walk ye
in the light of your fire ,
And in
the sparks
ye
have caused
to
burn,
From my hand hath
this
been
to
you ,
In
grief
ye
lie down !
