	YLT Young's Literal Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Because Jehovah loveth Jacob, And hath fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And joined hath been the sojourner to them, And they have been admitted to the house of Jacob.	For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob.	The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2	And peoples have taken them, And have brought them in unto their place, And the house of Israel have inherited them, On the land of Jehovah, For men-servants and for maid-servants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.	And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’s land as male and female slaves. They will take captive those who were their captors, and rule over those who oppressed them.	Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
3	And it hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah's giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,	When the LORD has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve,	On the day the LORD gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you,
4	That thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased,	you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: “How the oppressor has ceased, the insolent fury ceased!	you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended!
5	Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath Jehovah the staff of the wicked, The sceptre of rulers.	The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers,	The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6	He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!	that struck the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution.	which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows, and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression.
7	At rest -- quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken forth into singing.	The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing.	All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing.
8	Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon -- saying: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up against us.	The cypresses rejoice at you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, ‘Since you were laid low, no woodcutter comes up against us.’	Even the junipers and the cedars of Lebanon gloat over you and say, “Now that you have been laid low, no one comes to cut us down.”
9	Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations.	Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.	The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you— all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones— all those who were kings over the nations.
10	All of them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like!	All of them will answer and say to you: ‘You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!’	They will all respond, they will say to you, “You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us.”
11	Brought down to Sheol hath been thine excellency, The noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm.	Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; maggots are laid as a bed beneath you, and worms are your covers.	All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.
12	How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.	“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!	How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13	And thou saidst in thy heart: the heavens I go up, Above stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount of meeting in the sides of the north.	You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;	You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14	I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.	I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’	I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
15	Only -- unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit.	But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.	But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
16	Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?	Those who see you will stare at you and ponder over you: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,	Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble,
17	He hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house.	who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?’	the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?”
18	All kings of nations -- all of them, Have lain down in honour, each in his house,	All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb;	All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19	And -- thou hast been cast out of thy grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down unto the sons of the pit, As a carcase trodden down.	but you are cast out, away from your grave, like a loathed branch, clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like a dead body trampled underfoot.	But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20	Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.	You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, you have slain your people. “May the offspring of evildoers nevermore be named!	you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people. Let the offspring of the wicked never be mentioned again.
21	Prepare ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They rise not, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world with cities.	Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the guilt of their fathers, lest they rise and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.”	Prepare a place to slaughter his children for the sins of their ancestors; they are not to rise to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities.
22	And I have risen up against them, (The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts,) And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor, The affirmation of Jehovah.	“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of hosts, “and will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, descendants and posterity,” declares the LORD.	“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will wipe out Babylon’s name and survivors, her offspring and descendants,” declares the LORD.
23	And have made it for a possession of a bittern, And ponds of waters, And daubed it with the mire of destruction, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!	“And I will make it a possession of the hedgehog, and pools of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of hosts.	“I will turn her into a place for owls and into swampland; I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD Almighty.
24	Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts, saying, 'As I thought -- so hath it not been? And as I counselled -- it standeth;	The LORD of hosts has sworn: “As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,	The LORD Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.
25	To break Asshur in My land, And on My mountains I tread him down, And turned from off them hath his yoke, Yea, his burden from off their shoulder turneth aside.	that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains trample him underfoot; and his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden from their shoulder.”	I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
26	This is the counsel that is counselled for all the earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.	This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.	This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
27	For Jehovah of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn it back?'	For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?	For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
28	In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:	In the year that King Ahaz died came this oracle:	This prophecy came in the year King Ahaz died:
29	Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit is a flying saraph.	Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, that the rod that struck you is broken, for from the serpent’s root will come forth an adder, and its fruit will be a flying fiery serpent.	Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.
30	And delighted have the first-born of the poor, And the needy in confidence lie down, And I have put to death with famine thy root, And thy remnant it slayeth.	And the firstborn of the poor will graze, and the needy lie down in safety; but I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant it will slay.	The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety. But your root I will destroy by famine; it will slay your survivors.
31	Howl, O gate; cry, O city, Melted art thou, Philistia, all of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, And there is none alone in his set places.	Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.	Wail, you gate! Howl, you city! Melt away, all you Philistines! A cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there is not a straggler in its ranks.
32	And what doth one answer the messengers of a nation? 'That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in it do the poor of His people trust!'	What will one answer the messengers of the nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge.”	What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.”
