 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Ephraim feeds on wind, And pursues the east wind continually; He multiplies lies and violence. Moreover, he makes a covenant with Assyria, And oil is carried to Egypt. | 1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. | 1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt. | 1 Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt. | 1 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried. | 2 The LORD also has a dispute with Judah, And will punish Jacob according to his ways; He will repay him according to his deeds. | 2 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. | 2 Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. | 2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices. | 2 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him. | 3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And in his maturity he contended with God. | 3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: | 3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God: | 3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel. | 3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God, | 4 Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed; He wept and sought His favor. He found Him at Bethel And there He spoke with us, | 4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; | 4 yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us, | 4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us. | 4 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh by weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us, | 5 Even the LORD, the God of hosts, The LORD is His name. | 5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. | 5 even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial name . | 5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial. | 5 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah is His memorial. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Therefore, return to your God, Observe kindness and justice, And wait for your God continually. | 6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. | 6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually. | 6 Therefore turn thou to thy God : keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always. | 6 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually. | 7 A merchant, in whose hands are false balances, He loves to oppress. | 7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. | 7 He is a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. | 7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression. | 7 Canaan! in his hand are balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved. | 8 And Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No iniquity, which would be sin." | 8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. | 8 And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin. | 8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am be- come rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed. | 8 And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours -- they find not against me iniquity that is sin.' | 9 But I have been the LORD your God since the land of Egypt; I will make you live in tents again, As in the days of the appointed festival. | 9 And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast. | 9 But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast. | 9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast. | 9 And I -- Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time. | 10 I have also spoken to the prophets, And I gave numerous visions, And through the prophets I gave parables. | 10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. | 10 I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes. | 10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets. | 10 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? Surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls, Yes, their altars are like the stone heaps Beside the furrows of the field. | 11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. | 11 Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether false; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field. | 11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field. | 11 Surely Gilead is iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars are as heaps, on the furrows of a field. | 12 Now Jacob fled to the land of Aram, And Israel worked for a wife, And for a wife he kept sheep. | 12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. | 12 And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept'sheep . | 12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife. | 12 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch. | 13 But by a prophet the LORD brought Israel from Egypt, And by a prophet he was kept. | 13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. | 13 And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. | 13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was pre- served by a prophet. | 13 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched. | 14 Ephraim has provoked to bitter anger; So his Lord will leave his bloodguilt on him And bring back his reproach to him. | 14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him. | 14 Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him. | 14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him. | 14 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord! |
