21The Lord says, “Put up road signs.

Set up stones to show the way.

Look carefully for the highway.

Look for the road you will take.

Return, people of Israel.

Return to your towns.

22How long will you wander,

you people who are not faithful to me?

I will create a new thing on earth.

A woman will guard a man.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Set up road markers for yourself;

make yourself guideposts;

consider well the highway,

the road by which you went.

Return, O virgin Israel,

return to these your cities.

How long will you waver,

O faithless daughter?

For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:

a woman encircles a man.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Set up road signs;

put up guideposts.

Take note of the highway,

the road that you take.

Return, Virgin Israel,

return to your towns.

How long will you wander,

unfaithful Daughter Israel?

The Lord will create a new thing on earth—

the woman will return to the man.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Set up road markers for yourself;

establish signposts!

Keep the highway in mind,

the way you have traveled.

Return, Virgin Israel!

Return to these cities of yours.

How long will you turn here and there,

faithless daughter?

For the Lord creates something new in the land—

a female will shelter a man.

NLTNew Living Translation

Set up road signs;

put up guideposts.

Mark well the path

by which you came.

Come back again, my virgin Israel;

return to your towns here.

How long will you wander,

my wayward daughter?

For the Lord will cause something new to happen—

Israel will embrace her God.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Set up for yourself road markers,

make for yourself signposts,

set your mind to the main road,

the road by which you went.

Return, O virgin of Israel,

return to these your cities.

How long will you waver, O unfaithful daughter?

For Yahweh has created a new thing on the earth,

a woman, she shelters a man.”

KJV 1900King James Version

Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps:

Set thine heart toward the highway,

Even the way which thou wentest:

Turn again, O virgin of Israel,

Turn again to these thy cities.

How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter?

For the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth,

A woman shall compass a man.
