And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt[ him].

我的民偏要背道离开我；众先知虽然招呼他们归向至上的主，却无人尊崇主。

我的百姓偏要背离我，他们虽向至高者呼求，他却不抬举他们。

我的百姓偏要背离我，他们虽向至高者呼求，他却不抬举他们。

我的子民执意离我而去，他们虽然求告至高的我，我也不会拯救他们。

我的子民决要背道离开我，他们因着所负的轭而呼求，却没有人给他们卸下。

我的子民執意離我而去，他們雖然求告至高的我，我也不會拯救他們。

我的子民決要背道離開我，他們因著所負的軛而呼求，卻沒有人給他們卸下。

我的人民偏要背道離開我；故此他們被派去負軛，沒有人能給除去。

我民決志違離我、雖有召之向上、興者迄無一人、

我民心偏、專背我旨、先知呼民、歸我至上之主、崇我者迄無一人、

我民當歸誠於我、乃游移不定、我民當歸誠於我乃游移不定或作我民專心背叛我先知勸之歸至上之主、無一人奮興、

My people are determined to turn from me. Even though they call me God Most High, I will by no means exalt them.

My people have made up their minds to turn away from me. Even if they call me the Most High God, I will certainly not honor them.”

My people are bent on turning away from me, and though they call out to the Most High, he shall not raise them up at all.

For my people are determined to desert me. They call me the Most High, but they don’t truly honor me.

My people are bent on turning from me. Though they call to him on high, he will not exalt them at all.

So My people are determined to turn from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.

My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.

And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to him that is on high, none at all will exalt him.

My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to Him on high, He will not exalt them at all.

My people are obsessed with turning away from me; they call to Baal, but he will never exalt them!

Why[ then] is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man[ shall be satisfied] from himself.

[ As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour[ it], and[ there be] none to quench[ it] in Bethel.

They return,[ but] not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this[ shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen[ that] which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.And I said after she had done all these[ things], Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw[ it].And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou[ it] for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.

And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done[ it] of a long[ time in such sort] as it was written.So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers,[ who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers[ were, but] yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children[ shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God[ is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away[ his] face from you, if ye return unto him.So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
