O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth!

你们这使公平变为茵陈、将公义丢弃于地的，

你们这使公平变为茵陈，将公义丢弃于地的人哪！

你们这使公平变为茵陈，将公义丢弃于地的人哪！

你们这些使正义变为苦艾、将公义丢弃在地的人啊，

他们使公正变为苦堇，把公义弃于地上。

你們這使公平變為茵蔯、將公義丟棄於地的，

你們這使公平變為茵蔯，將公義丟棄於地的人哪！

你們這使公平變為茵蔯，將公義丟棄於地的人哪！

你們這些使正義變為苦艾、將公義丟棄在地的人啊，

他們使公正變為苦堇，把公義棄於地上。

那些使公平變為苦堇，將公義摔落於地的，

爾曹變公平為茵蔯、委義於地、

爾不秉公、不行義、反使人茹荼飲酖、

爾曹判斷、不秉公義、使人受屈苦、若食茵蔯、爾曹拋棄公義於地、

There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground.

There are people among you who turn what is fair into something bitter. They throw down to the ground what is right.

You twist justice, making it a bitter pill for the oppressed. You treat the righteous like dirt.

Those who turn justice into wormwood also throw righteousness to the ground.

For those who turn justice into wormwood, And throw righteousness to the earth.”

You who turn justice to wormwood, And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”

Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,

Those who turn justice into wormwood throw righteousness to the ground.

Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

The Israelites turn justice into bitterness; they throw what is fair and right to the ground.

You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:

Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—

They utter mere words; with empty oaths they make covenants; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

those who have turned back from following the Lord, who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him.”

Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand.

When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it.

Are you not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, you have ordained them as a judgment, and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof.You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?You make mankind like the fish of the sea, like crawling things that have no ruler.

But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.

Therefore because you trample on the poor and you exact taxes of grain from him, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.For I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins— you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy in the gate.

“ And you, son of man, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die.

The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good.

Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit,

Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not bring justice to the fatherless, and the widow’s cause does not come to them.

But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the Lord will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!

transgressing, and denying the Lord, and turning back from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter.

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, an outcry!

Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression,
