ESVEnglish Standard Version

He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,

the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

and delivered his power to captivity,

his glory to the hand of the foe.

He gave his people over to the sword

and vented his wrath on his heritage.

Fire devoured their young men,

and their young women had no marriage song.

Their priests fell by the sword,

and their widows made no lamentation.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,

the tent he had set up among humans.

He sent the ark of his might into captivity,

his splendor into the hands of the enemy.

He gave his people over to the sword;

he was furious with his inheritance.

Fire consumed their young men,

and their young women had no wedding songs;

their priests were put to the sword,

and their widows could not weep.

He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,

the tent where he resided among mankind.

He gave up his strength to captivity

and his splendor to the hand of a foe.

He surrendered his people to the sword

because he was enraged with his heritage.

Fire consumed his chosen young men,

and his young women had no wedding songs.

His priests fell by the sword,

and the widows could not lament.

NLTNew Living Translation

Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh,

the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people.

He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured;

he surrendered his glory into enemy hands.

He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword,

because he was so angry with his own people—his special possession.

Their young men were killed by fire;

their young women died before singing their wedding songs.

Their priests were slaughtered,

and their widows could not mourn their deaths.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

So he abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,

the tent he had placed among humankind.

And he gave his strength into captivity

and his splendor into the hand of the enemy.

and he was very angry with his inheritance.

Fire devoured his young men,

and his young women were not praised.

His priests fell by the sword,

and his widows did not weep.

KJV 1900King James Version

So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,

The tent which he placed among men;

And delivered his strength into captivity,

And his glory into the enemy’s hand.

He gave his people over also unto the sword;

And was wroth with his inheritance.

The fire consumed their young men;

And their maidens were not given to marriage.

Their priests fell by the sword;

And their widows made no lamentation.
