11 At that time this people and Jerusalem will be told, “A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; 12 a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them.”

11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem,

A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people,

Not to fan, nor to cleanse,

12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me:

Now also will I give sentence against them.

11 The time is coming when the Lord will say

to the people of Jerusalem,

“My dear people, a burning wind is blowing in from the desert,

and it’s not a gentle breeze useful for winnowing grain.

12 It is a roaring blast sent by me!

Now I will pronounce your destruction!”

11 At that time it will be said

To this people and to Jerusalem,

“A dry wind of the desolate heights blows in the wilderness—

Toward the daughter of My people—

Not to fan or to cleanse—

12 A wind too strong for these will come for Me;

Now I will also speak judgment against them.”

11 At that time this message will be given to Judah and Jerusalem: “A hot wind blows from the bare hilltops of the desert toward the Lord’s people. It is not a gentle wind to separate grain from chaff. 12 I feel a stronger wind than that. Now even I will announce judgments against the people of Judah.”

11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse; 12 a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them.

11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind cometh from the heights in the wilderness, on the way of the daughter of my people, not for fanning, nor for cleansing. 12 A wind more vehement than that shall come from me: now will I also pronounce judgments against them.

11 At that time it will be said to these people and to Jerusalem: 

“A hot wind from the heights will blow in the desert 

on the tracks of my people. 

It will not be a wind that winnowsor cleanses. 

12 It will be a stronger wind than that. 

It will come from me. 

Now, I will pass sentence on them.” 

11 “At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, ‘A searing wind blows from the barren heights in the wilderness on the way to My dear people. It comes not to winnow or to sift; 12 a wind too strong for this comes at My call. Now I will also pronounce judgments against them.’ ”

11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: A hot wind comes from me out of the bare heights in the desert toward my poor people, not to winnow or cleanse— 12 a wind too strong for that. Now it is I who speak in judgment against them.

11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem,

“A hot wind from the barren heights in the desert,

in the direction of the daughter of my people,

not to winnow and not to cleanse,

12 a wind too strong for these will come for me,

now also I speak judgments against them.”

11 At that time the people of Judah and Jerusalem will be warned. They will be told, “A hot and dry wind is coming, my people. It is blowing toward you from the bare hilltops in the desert. But it does not separate straw from grain. 12 It is much too strong for that. The wind is coming from me. I am making my decision against you.”

11 In that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A scorching wind from the bare heights in the wilderness in the direction of the daughter of My people—not to winnow and not to cleanse,

12 a wind too strong for this—will come at My command; now I will also pronounce judgments against them.
