But this people—what a people!

Uncontrollable, untameable runaways.

It never occurs to them to say,

‘How can we honor our God with our lives,

The God who gives rain in both spring and autumn

and maintains the rhythm of the seasons,

Who sets aside time each year for harvest

and keeps everything running smoothly for us?’

Of course you don’t! Your bad behavior blinds you to all this.

Your sins keep my blessings at a distance.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart;

they have turned aside and gone away.

They do not say in their hearts,

‘Let us fear the Lord our God,

who gives the rain in its season,

the autumn rain and the spring rain,

and keeps for us

the weeks appointed for the harvest.’

Your iniquities have turned these away,

and your sins have kept good from you.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts;

they have turned aside and gone away.

They do not say to themselves,

‘Let us fear the Lord our God,

who gives autumn and spring rains in season,

who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’

Your wrongdoings have kept these away;

your sins have deprived you of good.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.

They have turned aside and have gone away.

They have not said to themselves,

‘Let’s fear the Lord our God,

who gives the seasonal rains, both autumn and spring,

who guarantees to us the fixed weeks of the harvest.’

Your guilty acts have diverted these things from you.

Your sins have withheld my bounty from you,

NLTNew Living Translation

But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.

They have turned away and abandoned me.

They do not say from the heart,

‘Let us live in awe of the Lord our God,

for he gives us rain each spring and fall,

assuring us of a harvest when the time is right.’

Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings.

Your sin has robbed you of all these good things.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

But for this people is a stubborn and rebellious heart,

they have turned aside and have gone away.

And they do not say in their hearts,

‘Let us fear please Yahweh our God,

the one who gives the autumn rain and the spring rain in its season,

the set times of the harvest he keeps for us.’

Your iniquities have disturbed these,

and your sins have kept away the good from you.

KJV 1900King James Version

But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
