17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—they will meet their end together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens

Behind one tree in the midst,

Eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse,

Shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

17 “Those who ‘consecrate’ and ‘purify’ themselves in a sacred garden with its idol in the center—feasting on pork and rats and other detestable meats—will come to a terrible end,” says the Lord.

17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,

To go to the gardens

After an idol in the midst,

Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,

Shall be consumed together,” says the Lord.

17 “These people make themselves holy and pure to go to worship their gods in their gardens. Following each other into their special gardens, they eat the meat of pigs and rats and other hateful things. But they will all be destroyed together,” says the Lord.

17 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, saith Jehovah.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.

17 People make themselves holy 

and prepare themselves for their garden rituals. 

They go into the garden 

and devour pork, disgusting things, and mice. 

“They will come to an end at the same time,” 

declares the Lord. 

17 “Those who dedicate and purify themselves to enter the groves following their leader, eating meat from pigs, vermin, and rats, will perish together.”

This is the Lord’s declaration.

17 Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following the one in the center, eating the flesh of pigs, vermin, and rodents, shall come to an end together, says the Lord.

17 Those who sanctify themselves

and those who cleanse themselves to go into the gardens after the one in the middle,

eating the flesh of swine

and detestable things and rodents together

shall come to an end!” declares Yahweh.

17 “Some people set themselves apart and make themselves pure. They do it so they can go into the gardens to worship other gods. They do what the worship leader tells them to do. They eat the meat of pigs and rats. They also eat other things I hate. All of those people will come to a horrible end,” announces the Lord.

17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens,

Following one in the center,

Who eat swine’s flesh, detestable things and mice,

Will come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.
