1
ThomsonTHUS saith the Lord, The heaven is My throne, and the earth, My footstool: what sort of an house will you build for Me? And of what sort shall be the place of My rest?
BrentonThus saith the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will ye build me? and of what kind is to be the place of my rest?
GreekΟὕτως λέγει Κύριος, ὁ οὐρανός μου θρόνος, καὶ ἡ γῆ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν μου· ποῖον οἶκον οἰκοδομήσετέ μοι; καὶ ποῖος τόπος τῆς καταπαύσεώς μου;
2
ThomsonFor all these things My hand hath made: and all these things are Mine, saith the Lord. Upon whom, therefore, will I look down, save upon him only who is humble and quiet, and who trembleth at My words?
BrentonFor all these things are mine, saith the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the man that trembles at my words?
GreekΠάντα γὰρ ταῦτα ἐποίησεν ἡ χείρ μου, καὶ ἔστιν ἐμὰ πάντα ταῦτα, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἐπὶ τίνα ἐπιβλέψω, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐπὶ τὸν ταπεινὸν καὶ ἡσύχιον, καὶ τρέμοντα τοὺς λόγους μου;
3
ThomsonAs for the wicked man, who sacrificeth to Me a young bull: he is as one who slayeth a dog; and though he offereth Me fine flour, it will be as the blood of swine. Though he offereth incense for a memorial, he is as a blasphemer. As they have chosen their own ways: and their soul hath delighted in their abominations:
BrentonBut the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as one that offers swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
GreekὉ δὲ ἄνομος ὁ θύων μοι μόσχον, ὡς ὁ ἀποκτέννων κύνα· ὁ δὲ ἀναφέρων σεμίδαλιν, ὡς αἷμα ὕειον· ὁ διδοὺς λίβανον εἰς μνημόσυνον, ὡς βλάσφημος. Καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐξελέξαντο τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἠθέλησε.
4
ThomsonI also will choose their delusions, and pay them back their sins. Because I called them and they did not answer—I spake, but they did not listen, but did that which is evil in My sight, and chose the things in which I did not delight;
BrentonI also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not hearken to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγὼ ἐκλέξομαι τὰ ἐμπαίγματα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἀνταποδώσω αὐτοῖς· ὅτι ἐκάλεσα αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσάν μου· ἐλάλησα καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, καὶ ἐποίησαν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἃ οὐκ ἐβουλόμην, ἐξελέξαντο.
5
Thomsonhear the decisions of the Lord—ye who tremble at His word. Say, O our brethren (to them who hate you and are abominable, that the name of the Lord may be glorified and appear to their joy, when they shall be ashamed)
BrentonHear the words of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; speak ye, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.
GreekἈκούσατε ῥήματα Κυρίου οἱ τρέμοντες τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ· εἴπατε ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ βδελυσσομένοις, ἵνα τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου δοξασθῇ, καὶ ὀφθῇ ἐν τῇ εὐφροσύνῃ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκεῖνοι αἰσχυνθήσονται.
6
Thomsona sound of screaming from the city! a sound from the temple! the voice of the Lord rendering a recompense to his adversaries!
BrentonA voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to his adversaries.
GreekΦωνὴ κραυγῆς ἐκ πόλεως, φωνὴ ἐκ ναοῦ, φωνὴ Κυρίου ἀνταποδιδόντος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ἀντικειμένοις.
7
ThomsonThat a woman hath brought forth before she travailed; that before her pangs came on, they are over and a male child born;
BrentonBefore she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped it and brought forth a male.
GreekΠρὶν τὴν ὠδίνουσαν τεκεῖν, πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὸν πόνον τῶν ὠδίνων, ἐξέφυγε καὶ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν.
8
Thomsonwho hath heard such a thing, or who hath seen the like? Did ever the earth bring forth in a day, or was ever a nation born at once? That Sion should travail and bring forth her children,
BrentonWho has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?
GreekΤίς ἤκουσε τοιοῦτο, καὶ τίς ἑὼρακεν οὕτως; εἰ ὤδινε γῆ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ, ἢ καὶ ἐτέχθη ἔθνος εἰς ἅπαξ, ὅτι ὤδινε καὶ ἔτεκε Σιὼν τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς;
9
ThomsonI Myself raised this expectation; yet thou didst not remember Me, saith the Lord. Behold, did I not make her who beareth; and her who is barren? said thy God.
BrentonBut I have raised this expectation, yet thou hast not remembered me, saith the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? saith thy God.
GreekἘγὼ δὲ ἔδωκα τὴν προσδοκίαν ταύτην, καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθης μου, εἶπε Κύριος· οὐκ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ γεννῶσαν καὶ στεῖραν ἐποίησα; εἶπεν ὁ Θεός σου.
10
ThomsonRejoice O Jerusalem! and sing praises therein, all ye who love her! Be exceedingly joyful with her, all ye who mourn for her!
BrentonRejoice, O Jerusalem, and all ye that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that now mourn over her:
GreekΕὐφράνθητι Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ πανηγυρίσατε ἐν αὐτῇ πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὴν, χάρητε ἅμα αὐτῇ χαρᾷ πάντες ὅσοι πενθεῖτε ἐπʼ αὐτῇ,
11
ThomsonThat you may suck and be satisfied from the breast of her consolation—that you may suck and be fed deliciously, at the commencement of her glory.
Brentonthat ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that ye may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.
Greekἵνα θηλάσητε, καὶ ἐμπλησθῆτε ἀπὸ μαστοῦ παρακλήσεως αὐτῆς, ἵνα ἐκθηλάσαντες τρυφήσητε ἀπὸ εἰσόδου δόξης αὐτῆς.
12
ThomsonFor thus saith the Lord, Behold I will glide to them like a peaceful stream, and like a torrent deluging the glory of nations. Their children shall be carried on shoulders, and shall be dandled on knees.
BrentonFor thus saith the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.
GreekὍτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκκλίνω εἰς αὐτοὺς ὡς ποταμὸς εἰρήνης, καὶ ὡς χειμάῤῥους ἐπικλύζων δόξαν ἐθνῶν· τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν ἐπʼ ὤμων ἀρθήσονται, καὶ ἐπὶ γονάτων παρακληθήσονται.
13
ThomsonAs one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you, and in Jerusalem you shall find consolation.
BrentonAs if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
GreekὩς εἴ τινα μήτηρ παρακαλέσει, οὕτω κᾀγὼ παρακαλέσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ παρακληθήσεσθε.
14
ThomsonAnd you shall see it, and your heart shall rejoice; and your bones shall flourish like a green herb. And the hand of the Lord will be made known to them who fear Him. And it will terrify them who are disobedient.
BrentonAnd ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.
GreekΚαὶ ὄψεσθε, καὶ χαρήσεται ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑμῶν ὡς βοτάνη ἀνατελεῖ· καὶ γνωσθήσεται ἡ χεὶρ Κυρίου τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπειλήσει τοῖς ἀπειθοῦσιν.
15
ThomsonFor behold! the Lord will come as a fire, and His chariots as a whirlwind, to execute His vengeance with wrath and His rebuke with flaming fire.
BrentonFor, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.
GreekἸδοὺ γὰρ Κύριος ὡς πῦρ ἥξει, καὶ ὡς καταιγὶς τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ, ἀποδοῦναι ἐν θυμῷ ἐκδίκησιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποσκορακισμὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν φλογὶ πυρός.
16
ThomsonFor with the fire of the Lord all this land shall be tried, and all flesh with His sword. Many shall be the slain of the Lord!
BrentonFor with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.
GreekἘν γὰρ τῷ πυρὶ Κυρίου κριθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, καὶ ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ αὐτοῦ πᾶσα σάρξ· πολλοὶ τραυματίαι ἔσονται ὑπὸ Κυρίου.
17
ThomsonThey who consecrate and purify themselves for the gardens, and they who, in the outer courts, eat swine’s flesh, and the abominations and the mouse, shall for this be consumed together, said the Lord.
BrentonThey that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
GreekΟἱ ἁγνιζόμενοι καὶ καθαριζόμενοι εἰς τοὺς κήπους, καὶ ἐν τοῖς προθύροις ἔσθοντες κρέας ὕειον, καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα, καὶ τὸν μῦν, ἐπιτοαυτὸ ἀναλωθήσονται, εἶπε Κύριος.
18
ThomsonAs I know their works and their reasoning I am coming to gather together all the nations and the tongues, and they shall come to see My glory.
BrentonAnd I know their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
GreekΚᾀγὼ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν καὶ τὸν λογισμὸν αὐτῶν· ἔρχομαι συναγαγεῖν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ τὰς γλώσσας, καὶ ἥξουσι καὶ ὄψονται τὴν δόξαν μου.
19
ThomsonAnd I will leave among them a sign, and those of them who escape I will send to the nations—to Tharsis and Phud and Lud and Mosach and to Thobel and Greece and to the far distant isles. They who have not heard My name nor seen My glory—even they shall proclaim My glory among the nations;
BrentonAnd I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
GreekΚαὶ καταλείψω ἐπʼ αὐτῶν σημεῖον, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐξ αὐτῶν σεσωσμένους εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, εἰς Θαρσὶς, καὶ Φοὺδ, καὶ Λοὺδ, καὶ Μοσόχ, καὶ εἰς Θοβὲλ, καὶ εἰς τὴν Ἑλλάδα, καὶ εἰς τὰς νήσους τὰς πόῤῥω, οἳ οὐκ ἀκηκόασί μου τὸ ὄνομα, οὔτε ἑωράκασί μου τὴν δόξαν· καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσι τὴν δόξαν μου ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι,
20
Thomsonand they shall bring your brethren from all the nations, as a gift for the Lord with horses and chariots, in litters borne by mules with umbrellas over them, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord; as the children of Israel brought up their sacrifices for Me with songs of praise to the house of the Lord.
BrentonAnd they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters drawn by mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.
Greekκαὶ ἄξουσι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν δῶρον Κυρίῳ, μεθʼ ἵππων καὶ ἁρματων ἐν λαμπήναις ἡμιόνων μετὰ σκιαδίων εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν πόλιν Ἱερουσαλήμ, εἶπε Κύριος, ὡς ἀνενέγκαισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὰς θυσίας αὐτῶν ἐμοὶ μετὰ ψαλμῶν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
21
ThomsonAnd of them I will take priests and Levites, said the Lord.
BrentonAnd I will take of them priests and Levites, saith the Lord.
GreekΚαὶ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν λήμψομαι ἱερεῖς καὶ Λευίτας, εἶπε Κύριος.
22
ThomsonFor as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, shall remain in My presence, saith the Lord; so shall your seed and your name be established.
BrentonFor as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.
GreekὋν τρόπον γὰρ ὁ οὐρανὸς καινὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ καινὴ, ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ, μένει ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, λέγει Κύριος, οὕτω στήσεται τὸ σπέρμα ὑμῶν, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα ὑμῶν.
23
ThomsonAnd it shall be, that month after month and sabbath after sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, in Jerusalem, said the Lord.
BrentonAnd it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, that all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, saith the Lord.
GreekΚαὶ ἔσται μὴν ἐκ μηνὸς, καὶ σάββατον ἐκ σαββάτου, ἥξει πᾶσα σὰρξ τοῦ προσκυνῆσαι ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, εἶπεν Κύριος.
24
ThomsonAnd they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of those men, who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die and their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
BrentonAnd they shall go forth, and see the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
GreekΚαὶ ἐξελεύσονται καὶ ὄψονται τὰ κῶλα τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν παραβεβηκότων ἐν ἐμοί· ὁ γὰρ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτήσει, καὶ τὸ πῦρ αὐτῶν οὐ σβεσθήσεται, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ὅρασιν πάσῃ σαρκί.
