8 Jerusalem staggers,

Judah is falling;

their words and deeds are against the Lord,

defying his glorious presence.

9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom;

they do not hide it.

Woe to them!

They have brought disaster upon themselves.

10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them,

for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.

11 Woe to the wicked!

Disaster is upon them!

They will be paid back

for what their hands have done.

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: Because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, To provoke the eyes of his glory.

9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; And they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. 10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: For the reward of his hands shall be given him.

8 For Jerusalem will stumble,

and Judah will fall,

because they speak out against the Lord and refuse to obey him.

They provoke him to his face.

9 The very look on their faces gives them away.

They display their sin like the people of Sodom

and don’t even try to hide it.

They are doomed!

They have brought destruction upon themselves.

10 Tell the godly that all will be well for them.

They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned!

11 But the wicked are doomed,

for they will get exactly what they deserve.

8 For Jerusalem stumbled,

And Judah is fallen,

Because their tongue and their doings

Are against the Lord,

To provoke the eyes of His glory.

9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,

And they declare their sin as Sodom;

They do not hide it.

Woe to their soul!

For they have brought evil upon themselves.

10 “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,

For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,

For the reward of his hands shall be given him.

8 This will happen because Jerusalem has stumbled,

and Judah has fallen.

The things they say and do are against the Lord;

they turn against him.

9 The look on their faces shows they are guilty;

like the people of Sodom, they are proud of their sin.

They don’t care who sees it.

How terrible it will be for them,

because they have brought much trouble on themselves.

10 Tell those who do what is right that things will go well for them,

because they will receive a reward for what they do.

11 But how terrible it will be for the wicked!

They will be punished for all the wrong they have done.

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory. 9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have done evil unto themselves. 10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.

8 For Jerusalem stumbleth and Judah falleth, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9 The look of their face doth witness against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom: they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have brought evil upon themselves. 10 Say ye of the righteous that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him, because the desert of his hands shall be rendered unto him.

8 Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, 

because what they say and what they do is against the Lord. 

They are defiant in his honored presence. 

9 The look on their faces will be held against them. 

They boast about their sins, 

which are like ⸤those of the people of⸥ Sodom. 

They don’t even bother to hide them. 

How horrible it will be for these people, 

because they have brought disaster on themselves. 

10 Tell the righteous that blessings will come to them. 

They will taste the fruit of their labor. 

11 How horrible it will be for the wicked! Disaster will strike them. 

What they have done will be done to them. 

8 For Jerusalem has stumbled

and Judah has fallen

because they have spoken and acted against the Lord,

defying His glorious presence.

and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin.

They do not conceal it.

Woe to them,

for they have brought evil on themselves.

11 Woe to the wicked! It is bad!

For what is done by his hands will be done to him.

8 Jerusalem is about to fall.

And so is Judah.

They say and do things against the Lord.

They dare to disobey him to his very face.

9 The look on their faces is a witness against them.

They show off their sin, just as the people of Sodom did.

They don’t even try to hide it.

How terrible it will be for them!

They have brought trouble on themselves.

10 Tell those who do what is right that things will go well with them.

They will enjoy the results of the good things they’ve done.

11 But how terrible it will be for those who do what is evil!

Trouble is about to fall on them.

For they will eat the fruit of their actions.

11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,

For what he deserves will be done to him.
