8But lately ymy people have risen up as an enemy;
you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly
with no thought of war.3
9The women of my people you drive out
from their delightful houses;
from their young children you take away
my splendor forever.
10zArise and go,
for this is no aplace to rest,
because of buncleanness that destroys
with a grievous destruction.
11If a man should go about and cutter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you dof wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Lately my people have risen up
like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
from those who pass by without a care,
like men returning from battle.
You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,
because it is defiled,
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’
that would be just the prophet for this people!

CSBChristian Standard Bible
But recently my people have risen up
like an enemy:
You strip off the splendid robe
from those who are passing through confidently,
like those returning from war.
You force the women of my people
out of their comfortable homes,
and you take my blessing
from their children forever.
Get up and leave,
for this is not your place of rest
because defilement brings destruction—
a grievous destruction!
If a man comes
and utters empty lies—
“I will preach to you about wine and beer”—
he would be just the preacher for this people!

NLTNew Living Translation
Yet to this very hour
my people rise against me like an enemy!
You steal the shirts right off the backs
of those who trusted you,
making them as ragged as men
returning from battle.
You have evicted women from their pleasant homes
and forever stripped their children of all that God would give them.
Up! Begone!
This is no longer your land and home,
for you have filled it with sin
and ruined it completely.
Suppose a prophet full of lies would say to you,
“I’ll preach to you the joys of wine and alcohol!”
That’s just the kind of prophet you would like!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
But recently my people have risen up as an enemy;
from before the cloak you strip off the robe
from those passing by in confidence,
returning from war.
You have driven out the women of my people
from the houses of their pleasure.
From their children you have taken away
my glory forever.
Arise and go,
for this is no resting place,
on account of uncleanness that destroys
with painful destruction.
If a man walks about in a spirit of deception and lies,
saying “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,”
then he would be a preacher for this people!

KJV 1900King James Version
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy:
Ye pull off the robe with the garment
From them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses;
From their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest:
Because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying,
I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink;
He shall even be the prophet of this people.
