You have lived by the standards of your king, Omri,

the decadent lifestyle of the family of Ahab.

Because you’ve slavishly followed their fashions,

I’m forcing you into bankruptcy.

Your way of life will be laughed at, a tasteless joke.

Your lives will be derided as futile and fake.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For you have kept the statutes of Omri,

and all the works of the house of Ahab;

and you have walked in their counsels,

that I may make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing;

so you shall bear the scorn of my people.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You have observed the statutes of Omri

and all the practices of Ahab’s house;

you have followed their traditions.

Therefore I will give you over to ruin

and your people to derision;

you will bear the scorn of the nations.”

Therefore, I will make you a desolate place

and the city’s residents an object of contempt;

you will bear the scorn of my people.”

NLTNew Living Translation

You keep only the laws of evil King Omri;

you follow only the example of wicked King Ahab!

Therefore, I will make an example of you,

bringing you to complete ruin.

You will be treated with contempt,

mocked by all who see you.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For you have observed the regulations of Omri

and all the works of the house of Ahab.

And you have walked in their counsels,

so that I am making you a desolation

and your inhabitants an object of scorn.

So you will bear the scorn of my people.

KJV 1900King James Version

For the statutes of Omri are kept,

And all the works of the house of Ahab,

And ye walk in their counsels;

That I should make thee a desolation,

And the inhabitants thereof an hissing:

Therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
