I will see what their end will be,

for they are a perverse generation,

children in whom is no faithfulness.

You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;

you forgot the God who gave you birth.

“and see what their end will be;

for they are a perverse generation,

children who are unfaithful.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You ignored the Rock who gave you birth;

you forgot the God who gave birth to you.

When the Lord saw this, he despised them,

angered by his sons and daughters.

He said, “I will hide my face from them;

I will see what will become of them,

for they are a perverse generation—

unfaithful children.

NLTNew Living Translation

You neglected the Rock who had fathered you;

you forgot the God who had given you birth.

“The Lord saw this and drew back,

provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.

He said, ‘I will abandon them;

then see what becomes of them.

For they are a twisted generation,

children without integrity.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The rock who bore you, you neglected,

and you forgot God, the one giving you birth.

Then Yahweh saw, and he spurned them,

because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

So he said, ‘I will hide my face from them;

I will see what will be their end,

for they are a generation of perversity,

children in whom there is no faithfulness.

KJV 1900King James Version

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,

And hast forgotten God that formed thee.

And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them,

Because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

And he said, I will hide my face from them,

I will see what their end shall be:

For they are a very froward generation,

Children in whom is no faith.
