King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 58:1 | Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? | To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men? |
| 58:2 | Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. | Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder. |
| 58:3 | The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray |
The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies. |
| 58:4 | Their poison is |
Their poison `is' as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear, |
| 58:5 | Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, |
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful. |
| 58:6 | Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. | O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah. |
| 58:7 | Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. | They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off. |
| 58:8 | As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. | As a snail that melteth he goeth on, `As' an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun. |
| 58:9 | Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. | Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away. |
| 58:10 | The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. | The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked. |
| 58:11 | So that a man shall say, Verily there is |
And man saith: `Surely fruit `is' for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!' |
