16But the Portion-of-Jacob is the real thing.

He put the whole universe together

And pays special attention to Israel.

His name? God-of-the-Angel-Armies!

17–18Grab your bags,

all you who are under attack.

God has given notice:

“Attention! I’m evicting

Everyone who lives here,

And right now—yes, right now!

I’m going to press them to the limit,

squeeze the life right out of them.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,

for he is the one who formed all things,

and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

the Lord of hosts is his name.

Gather up your bundle from the ground,

O you who dwell under siege!

For thus says the Lord:

“Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land

at this time,

and I will bring distress on them,

that they may feel it.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these,

for he is the Maker of all things,

including Israel, the people of his inheritance—

the Lord Almighty is his name.

Gather up your belongings to leave the land,

you who live under siege.

For this is what the Lord says:

“At this time I will hurl out

those who live in this land;

I will bring distress on them

so that they may be captured.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Jacob’s Portion is not like these

because he is the one who formed all things.

Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

the Lord of Armies is his name.

Gather up your belongings from the ground,

you who live under siege.

For this is what the Lord says:

Look, I am flinging away

the land’s residents at this time

and bringing them such distress

that they will feel it.

NLTNew Living Translation

But the God of Israel is no idol!

He is the Creator of everything that exists,

including Israel, his own special possession.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

Pack your bags and prepare to leave;

the siege is about to begin.

For this is what the Lord says:

“Suddenly, I will fling out

all you who live in this land.

I will pour great troubles upon you,

and at last you will feel my anger.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The portion of Jacob is not like these,

for he is the creator of everything,

and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance,

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

Gather your bundle from the ground,

you who live under the siege.’ ”

For thus says Yahweh,

“Look, I am about to sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time,

and I will bring distress to them, so that they may feel it.”

KJV 1900King James Version

The portion of Jacob is not like them:

For he is the former of all things;

And Israel is the rod of his inheritance:

The Lord of hosts is his name.

Gather up thy wares out of the land,

O inhabitant of the fortress.

For thus saith the Lord,

Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once,

And will distress them, that they may find it so.
