Hosea 10:4 | |
NASB: They speak [mere] words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field. (NASB ©1995) GWT: They say many things. They lie when they take oaths, and they make promises they don't intend to keep. That's why lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. ASV: They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. BBE: Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field. DBY: They speak mere words, swearing falsely in making a covenant; therefore shall judgment spring up as hemlock in the furrows of the fields. JPS: They speak words, they swear falsely, they make covenants; thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. WBS: They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. WEB: They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field. YLT: They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a field. | |
