 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity. | 1 O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. | 1 Israel, return to the LORD your God. You have stumbled because of your sins. | 1 Israel, return to Yahweh your God; for you have fallen because of your sin. | 1 O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. | 2 Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, "Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips. | 2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. | 2 Return to the LORD, and say these things to him: "Forgive all our sins, and kindly receive us. Then we'll praise you with our lips. | 2 Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, "Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good: so we offer our lips like bulls. | 2 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah; say unto him, Forgive all iniquity, and receive us graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips. | 3 "Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, 'Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy." | 3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. | 3 Assyria cannot save us. We won't ride on horses anymore. We will never again say that the things our hands have made are our gods. You love orphans." | 3 Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods!' for in you the fatherless finds mercy." | 3 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Thou art our God; because in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. | 4 I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them. | 4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. | 4 [The LORD says,] "I will cure them of their unfaithfulness. I will love them freely. I will no longer be angry with them. | 4 "I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him. | 4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him. | 5 I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon. | 5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. | 5 I will be like dew to the people of Israel. They will blossom like flowers. They will be firmly rooted like cedars from Lebanon. | 5 I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon. | 5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 His shoots will sprout, And his beauty will be like the olive tree And his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon. | 6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. | 6 They will be like growing branches. They will be beautiful like olive trees. They will be fragrant like cedars from Lebanon. | 6 His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon. | 6 His shoots shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. | 7 Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon. | 7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. | 7 They will live again in God's shadow. They will grow like grain. They will blossom like grapevines. They will be as famous as the wines from Lebanon. | 7 Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon. | 7 They shall return and sit under his shadow; they shall revive as corn, and blossom as the vine: the renown thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. | 8 O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; From Me comes your fruit. | 8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found. | 8 "The people of Ephraim will have nothing more to do with idols. I will answer them and take care of them. I am like a growing pine tree. Their fruit comes from me." | 8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; from me your fruit is found." | 8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? (I answer him, and I will observe him.) I am like a green fir-tree. From me is thy fruit found. | 9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them. | 9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. | 9 Wise people will understand these things. A person with insight will recognize them. The LORD's ways are right. Righteous people live by them. Rebellious people stumble over them. | 9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them. | 9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? intelligent, and he shall know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein. |
