1 “Woe to the obstinate children,”

declares the Lord,

“to those who carry out plans that are not mine,

forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit,

heaping sin upon sin;

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord,

That take counsel, but not of me;

And that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit,

That they may add sin to sin:

1 “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”

says the Lord.

“You make plans that are contrary to mine.

You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,

thus piling up your sins.

1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,

“Who take counsel, but not of Me,

And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit,

That they may add sin to sin;

1 The Lord said,

“How terrible it will be for these stubborn children.

They make plans, but they don’t ask me to help them.

They make agreements with other nations, without asking my Spirit.

They are adding more and more sins to themselves.

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;

1 The Lord declares, 

“How horrible it will be for those rebellious children. 

They carry out plans, but not mine. 

They make alliances against my will. 

They pile sin on top of sin. 

1 Woe to the rebellious children!

This is the Lord’s declaration.

They carry out a plan, but not Mine;

they make an alliance,

but against My will,

piling sin on top of sin.

1 Oh, rebellious children, says the Lord,

who carry out a plan, but not mine;

who make an alliance, but against my will,

adding sin to sin;

1 “Oh rebellious children!” declares Yahweh,

“to make a plan, but not from me,

and pour out a libation, but not from my Spirit,

so as to add sin to sin.

1 “How terrible it will be for these stubborn children of mine!”

announces the Lord.

“How terrible for those who carry out plans that did not come from me!

Their agreement with Egypt did not come from my Spirit.

So they pile up one sin on top of another.

1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord,

“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,

And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,

In order to add sin to sin;
