8But recentlyb 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.

9You have driven out the women of my people

from the houses of theirc pleasure.

From theird children you have taken away

my glory forever.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

But lately my people have risen up as an enemy;

you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly

with no thought of war.

The women of my people you drive out

from their delightful houses;

from their young children you take away

my splendor forever.

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.

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.

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.

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.
