4 This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah,

even for four, I will not relent.

Because they have rejected the law of the Lord

and have not kept his decrees,

because they have been led astray by false gods,

the gods their ancestors followed,

4 Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Judah,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they have rejected the law of the Lord,

and have not kept his statutes,

but their lies have led them astray,

those after which their fathers walked.

4 Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of Judah,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because they have despised the law of the Lord,

And have not kept his commandments,

And their lies caused them to err,

After the which their fathers have walked:

4 This is what the Lord says:

“The people of Judah have sinned again and again,

and I will not let them go unpunished!

They have rejected the instruction of the Lord,

refusing to obey his decrees.

They have been led astray by the same lies

that deceived their ancestors.

4 This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes of Judah,

I will punish them.

They rejected the teachings of the Lord

and did not keep his commands;

they followed the same gods

as their ancestors had followed.

4 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk.

4 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have despised the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes; and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers walked.

4 This is what the Lord says: 

Because Judah has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime, 

I will not change my plans. 

The people of Judah have rejected the Lord’s Teachings 

and haven’t kept his laws. 

They have been led astray by false teachings, 

the same ones their ancestors followed. 

4 The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Judah

for three crimes, even four,

because they have rejected the instruction of the Lord

and have not kept His statutes.

The lies that their ancestors followed

have led them astray.

4 Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Judah,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;

because they have rejected the law of the Lord,

and have not kept his statutes,

but they have been led astray by the same lies

after which their ancestors walked.

4 Thus says Yahweh: “For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not revoke the punishment, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh and have not kept his rules, and their lies have led them astray, after which their ancestors walked!

4 The Lord says,

“The people of Judah have sinned again and again.

So I will punish them.

They have refused to obey my law.

They have not kept my rules.

Other gods have led them down the wrong path.

Their people before them

worshiped those gods.

4 Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of Judah and for four

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they rejected the law of the Lord

And have not kept His statutes;

Their lies also have led them astray,

Those after which their fathers walked.
