ESVEnglish Standard Version

A lion has gone up from his thicket,

a destroyer of nations has set out;

he has gone out from his place

to make your land a waste;

your cities will be ruins

without inhabitant.

For this put on sackcloth,

lament and wail,

for the fierce anger of the Lord

has not turned back from us.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

A lion has come out of his lair;

a destroyer of nations has set out.

He has left his place

to lay waste your land.

Your towns will lie in ruins

without inhabitant.

So put on sackcloth,

lament and wail,

for the fierce anger of the Lord

has not turned away from us.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

A lion has gone up from his thicket;

a destroyer of nations has set out.

He has left his lair

to make your land a waste.

Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins.

Because of this, put on sackcloth;

mourn and wail,

for the Lord’s burning anger

has not turned away from us.

NLTNew Living Translation

A lion stalks from its den,

a destroyer of nations.

It has left its lair and is headed your way.

It’s going to devastate your land!

Your towns will lie in ruins,

with no one living in them anymore.

So put on clothes of mourning

and weep with broken hearts,

for the fierce anger of the Lord

is still upon us.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

A lion has gone up from his thicket,

and a destroyer of nations has set out.

He has gone out from his place to make your land as a horror,

your cities will go to ruin without inhabitant.

Because of this gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament and wail,

for the burning anger of Yahweh has not turned back from us.

KJV 1900King James Version

The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.
