In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

They have dealt corruptly with him;

they are no longer his children because they are blemished;

they are a crooked and twisted generation.

Do you thus repay the Lord,

you foolish and senseless people?

Is not he your father, who created you,

who made you and established you?

NIVNew International Version (2011)

They are corrupt and not his children;

to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.

Is this the way you repay the Lord,

you foolish and unwise people?

Is he not your Father, your Creator,

who made you and formed you?

NLTNew Living Translation

“But they have acted corruptly toward him;

when they act so perversely,

are they really his children?

They are a deceitful and twisted generation.

Is this the way you repay the Lord,

you foolish and senseless people?

Isn’t he your Father who created you?

Has he not made you and established you?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

They have behaved corruptly toward him;

they are not his children; this is their flaw,

a generation crooked and perverse.

Like this do you treat Yahweh,

foolish and unwise people?

Has he not, your father, created you?

He made you, and he established you.

KJV 1900King James Version

They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children:

They are a perverse and crooked generation.

Do ye thus requite the Lord,

O foolish people and unwise?

Is not he thy father that hath bought thee?

Hath he not made thee, and established thee?
