KJV ¹ Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

VULC ¹ [Audite verbum Domini, filii Israël,
quia judicium Domino cum habitatoribus terræ :
non est enim veritas, et non est misericordia,
et non est scientia Dei in terra.

WLC ¹ שִׁמְע֥וּ דְבַר־ יְהוָ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֣י רִ֤יב לַֽיהוָה֙ עִם־ יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּ֠י אֵין־ אֱמֶ֧ת וְֽאֵין־ חֶ֛סֶד וְאֵֽין־ דַּ֥עַת אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

KJV ² By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

VULC ² Maledictum, et mendacium,
et homicidium, et furtum, et adulterium inundaverunt,
et sanguis sanguinem tetigit.

WLC ² אָלֹ֣ה וְכַחֵ֔שׁ וְרָצֹ֥חַ וְגָנֹ֖ב וְנָאֹ֑ף פָּרָ֕צוּ וְדָמִ֥ים בְּדָמִ֖ים נָגָֽעוּ׃

KJV ³ Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

VULC ³ Propter hoc lugebit terra,
et infirmabitur omnis qui habitat in ea,
in bestia agri, et in volucre cæli ;
sed et pisces maris congregabuntur.

WLC ³ עַל־ כֵּ֣ן ׀ תֶּאֱבַ֣ל הָאָ֗רֶץ וְאֻמְלַל֙ כָּל־ יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בָּ֔הּ בְּחַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְגַם־ דְּגֵ֥י הַיָּ֖ם יֵאָסֵֽפוּ׃

KJV ⁴ Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

VULC ⁴ Verumtamen unusquisque non judicet,
et non arguatur vir :
populus enim tuus sicut hi qui contradicunt sacerdoti.

WLC ⁴ אַ֥ךְ אִ֛ישׁ אַל־ יָרֵ֖ב וְאַל־ יוֹכַ֣ח אִ֑ישׁ וְעַמְּךָ֖ כִּמְרִיבֵ֥י כֹהֵֽן׃

KJV ⁵ Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

VULC ⁵ Et corrues hodie,
et corruet etiam propheta tecum.
Nocte tacere feci matrem tuam.

WLC ⁵ וְכָשַׁלְתָּ֣ הַיּ֔וֹם וְכָשַׁ֧ל גַּם־ נָבִ֛יא עִמְּךָ֖ לָ֑יְלָה וְדָמִ֖יתִי אִמֶּֽךָ׃

KJV ⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

VULC ⁶ Conticuit populus meus,
eo quod non habuerit scientiam :
quia tu scientiam repulisti,
repellam te, ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi ;
et oblita es legis Dei tui,
obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego.

WLC ⁶ נִדְמ֥וּ עַמִּ֖י מִבְּלִ֣י הַדָּ֑עַת כִּֽי־ אַתָּ֞ה הַדַּ֣עַת מָאַ֗סְתָּ וְאֶמְאָֽסְאךָ֙ מִכַּהֵ֣ן לִ֔י וַתִּשְׁכַּח֙ תּוֹרַ֣ת אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֶשְׁכַּ֥ח בָּנֶ֖יךָ גַּם־ אָֽנִי׃

KJV ⁷ As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

VULC ⁷ Secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi :
gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo.

WLC ⁷ כְּרֻבָּ֖ם כֵּ֣ן חָֽטְאוּ־ לִ֑י כְּבוֹדָ֖ם בְּקָל֥וֹן אָמִֽיר׃

KJV ⁸ They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

VULC ⁸ Peccata populi mei comedent,
et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum.

WLC ⁸ חַטַּ֥את עַמִּ֖י יֹאכֵ֑לוּ וְאֶל־ עֲוֺנָ֖ם יִשְׂא֥וּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃

KJV ⁹ And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

VULC ⁹ Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos ;
et visitabo super eum vias ejus,
et cogitationes ejus reddam ei.

WLC ⁹ וְהָיָ֥ה כָעָ֖ם כַּכֹּהֵ֑ן וּפָקַדְתִּ֤י עָלָיו֙ דְּרָכָ֔יו וּמַעֲלָלָ֖יו אָשִׁ֥יב לֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁰ For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

VULC ¹⁰ Et comedent, et non saturabuntur ;
fornicati sunt, et non cessaverunt :
quoniam Dominum dereliquerunt in non custodiendo.

WLC ¹⁰ וְאָֽכְלוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׂבָּ֔עוּ הִזְנ֖וּ וְלֹ֣א יִפְרֹ֑צוּ כִּֽי־ אֶת־ יְהוָ֥ה עָזְב֖וּ לִשְׁמֹֽר׃

KJV ¹¹ Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

VULC ¹¹ Fornicatio, et vinum, et ebrietas auferunt cor.

WLC ¹¹ זְנ֛וּת וְיַ֥יִן וְתִיר֖וֹשׁ יִֽקַּֽח־ לֵֽב׃

KJV ¹² My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

VULC ¹² Populus meus in ligno suo interrogavit,
et baculus ejus annuntiavit ei ;
spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos,
et fornicati sunt a Deo suo.

WLC ¹² עַמִּי֙ בְּעֵצ֣וֹ יִשְׁאָ֔ל וּמַקְל֖וֹ יַגִּ֣יד ל֑וֹ כִּ֣י ר֤וּחַ זְנוּנִים֙ הִתְעָ֔ה וַיִּזְנ֖וּ מִתַּ֥חַת אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

KJV ¹³ They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

VULC ¹³ Super capita montium sacrificabant,
et super colles accendebant thymiama ;
subtus quercum, et populum, et terebinthum,
quia bona erat umbra ejus ;
ideo fornicabuntur filiæ vestræ,
et sponsæ vestræ adulteræ erunt.

WLC ¹³ עַל־ רָאשֵׁ֨י הֶהָרִ֜ים יְזַבֵּ֗חוּ וְעַל־ הַגְּבָעוֹת֙ יְקַטֵּ֔רוּ תַּ֣חַת אַלּ֧וֹן וְלִבְנֶ֛ה וְאֵלָ֖ה כִּ֣י ט֣וֹב צִלָּ֑הּ עַל־ כֵּ֗ן תִּזְנֶ֙ינָה֙ בְּנ֣וֹתֵיכֶ֔ם וְכַלּוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם תְּנָאַֽפְנָה׃

KJV ¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

VULC ¹⁴ Non visitabo super filias vestras cum fuerint fornicatæ,
et super sponsas vestras cum adulteraverint,
quoniam ipsi cum meretricibus conversabantur,
et cum effeminatis sacrificabant ;
et populus non intelligens vapulabit.

WLC ¹⁴ לֹֽא־ אֶפְק֨וֹד עַל־ בְּנוֹתֵיכֶ֜ם כִּ֣י תִזְנֶ֗ינָה וְעַל־ כַּלּֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ כִּ֣י תְנָאַ֔פְנָה כִּי־ הֵם֙ עִם־ הַזֹּנ֣וֹת יְפָרֵ֔דוּ וְעִם־ הַקְּדֵשׁ֖וֹת יְזַבֵּ֑חוּ וְעָ֥ם לֹֽא־ יָבִ֖ין יִלָּבֵֽט׃

KJV ¹⁵ Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

VULC ¹⁵ Si fornicaris tu, Israël,
non delinquat saltem Juda ;
et nolite ingredi in Galgala,
et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven,
neque juraveritis : Vivit Dominus !

WLC ¹⁵ אִם־ זֹנֶ֤ה אַתָּה֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַל־ יֶאְשַׁ֖ם יְהוּדָ֑ה וְאַל־ תָּבֹ֣אוּ הַגִּלְגָּ֗ל וְאַֽל־ תַּעֲלוּ֙ בֵּ֣ית אָ֔וֶן וְאַל־ תִּשָּׁבְע֖וּ חַי־ יְהוָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁶ For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

VULC ¹⁶ Quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israël ;
nunc pascet eos Dominus, quasi agnum in latitudine.

WLC ¹⁶ כִּ֚י כְּפָרָ֣ה סֹֽרֵרָ֔ה סָרַ֖ר יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עַתָּה֙ יִרְעֵ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה כְּכֶ֖בֶשׂ בַּמֶּרְחָֽב׃

KJV ¹⁷ Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

VULC ¹⁷ Particeps idolorum Ephraim : dimitte eum.

WLC ¹⁷ חֲב֧וּר עֲצַבִּ֛ים אֶפְרָ֖יִם הַֽנַּֽח־ לֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁸ Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

VULC ¹⁸ Separatum est convivium eorum ;
fornicatione fornicati sunt :
dilexerunt afferre ignominiam protectores ejus.

WLC ¹⁸ סָ֖ר סָבְאָ֑ם הַזְנֵ֣ה הִזְנ֔וּ אָהֲב֥וּ הֵב֛וּ קָל֖וֹן מָגִנֶּֽיהָ׃

KJV ¹⁹ The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

VULC ¹⁹ Ligavit eum spiritus in alis suis,
et confundentur a sacrificiis suis.]

WLC ¹⁹ צָרַ֥ר ר֛וּחַ אוֹתָ֖הּ בִּכְנָפֶ֑יהָ וְיֵבֹ֖שׁוּ מִזִּבְחוֹתָֽם
