7The seers will be aashamed

And the bdiviners will be embarrassed.

Indeed, they will all ccover their 1mouths

Because there is dno answer from God.

8On the other hand aI am filled with power—

With the Spirit of the Lord—

And with justice and courage

To bmake known to Jacob his rebellious act,

Even to Israel his sin.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

the seers shall be disgraced,

and the diviners put to shame;

they shall all cover their lips,

for there is no answer from God.

But as for me, I am filled with power,

with the Spirit of the Lord,

and with justice and might,

to declare to Jacob his transgression

and to Israel his sin.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The seers will be ashamed

and the diviners disgraced.

They will all cover their faces

because there is no answer from God.”

But as for me, I am filled with power,

with the Spirit of the Lord,

and with justice and might,

to declare to Jacob his transgression,

to Israel his sin.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Then the seers will be ashamed

and the diviners disappointed.

They will all cover their mouths

because there will be no answer from God.

As for me, however, I am filled with power

by the Spirit of the Lord,

with justice and courage,

to proclaim to Jacob his rebellion

and to Israel his sin.

NLTNew Living Translation

Then you seers will be put to shame,

and you fortune-tellers will be disgraced.

And you will cover your faces

because there is no answer from God.”

with the Spirit of the Lord.

I am filled with justice and strength

to boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Then the seers will be disgraced,

and those practicing divination will be put to shame.

All of them will cover their lips,

for there is no reply from God.

But I, I am filled with power,

with the Spirit of Yahweh,

and with justice and might,

to declare to Jacob his rebellion,

and to Israel his sin.

KJV 1900King James Version

Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded:

Yea, they shall all cover their lips;

For there is no answer of God.

But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord,

And of judgment, and of might,

To declare unto Jacob his transgression,

And to Israel his sin.
