9 For these are rebellious people, deceitful children,

children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.

10 They say to the seers,

“See no more visions!”

and to the prophets,

“Give us no more visions of what is right!

Tell us pleasant things,

prophesy illusions.

11 Leave this way,

get off this path,

and stop confronting us

with the Holy One of Israel!”

9 For they are a rebellious people,

lying children,

children unwilling to hear

the instruction of the Lord;

10 who say to the seers, “Do not see,”

and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;

speak to us smooth things,

prophesy illusions,

11 leave the way, turn aside from the path,

let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children,

Children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10 Which say to the seers, See not;

And to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things,

Speak unto us smooth things,

Prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way,

Turn aside out of the path,

Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

9 that these people are stubborn rebels

who refuse to pay attention to the Lord’s instructions.

10 They tell the seers,

“Stop seeing visions!”

They tell the prophets,

“Don’t tell us what is right.

Tell us nice things.

Tell us lies.

11 Forget all this gloom.

Get off your narrow path.

Stop telling us about your

‘Holy One of Israel.’ ”

9 These people are like children who lie and refuse to obey;

they refuse to listen to the Lord’s teachings.

10 They tell the seers,

“Don’t see any more visions!”

They say to the prophets,

“Don’t tell us the truth!

Say things that will make us feel good;

see only good things for us.

11 Stop blocking our path.

Get out of our way.

Stop telling us

about God, the Holy One of Israel.”

9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah; 10 that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits, 11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah; 10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits; 11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!

9 These people are rebellious and deceitful children, 

children who refuse to listen to the Lord’s teachings. 

10 They say to the seers,‘Don’t see ⸤the future⸥.’ 

They say to those who have visions, 

‘Don’t have visions that tell us what is right. 

Tell us what we want to hear. See illusions. 

11 Get out of our way! Stop blocking our path! 

Get the Holy One of Israel out of our sight.’ ” 

9 They are a rebellious people,

deceptive children,

children who do not want to obey the Lord’s instruction.

10 They say to the seers, “Do not see,”

and to the prophets,

“Do not prophesy the truth to us.

Tell us flattering things.

Prophesy illusions.

11 Get out of the way!

Leave the pathway.

Rid us of the Holy One of Israel.”

9 For they are a rebellious people,

faithless children,

children who will not hear

the instruction of the Lord;

10 who say to the seers, “Do not see”;

and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;

speak to us smooth things,

prophesy illusions,

11 leave the way, turn aside from the path,

children who are not willing to hear the instruction of Yahweh,

10 who say to those who do see, “You must not see!”

and to the seers, “You must not see truth for us;

speak smooth things to us,

see illusions,

11 turn aside from the way, turn aside from the path,

put an end to the holy one of Israel from our face.”

9 The people of Judah refuse to obey me.

They are children who tell lies.

They will not listen to what I want to teach them.

10 They say to the seers,

‘Don’t see any more visions!’

They say to the prophets,

‘Don’t give us any more visions of what is right!

Tell us pleasant things.

Prophesy things we want to hear even if they aren’t true.

11 Get out of our way!

Get off our path!

Keep the Holy One of Israel away from us!’ ”

9 For this is a rebellious people, false sons,

Sons who refuse to listen

To the instruction of the Lord;

10 Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”;

And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right,

Speak to us pleasant words,

Prophesy illusions.

11 “Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,

Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
