Isaiah 29:21 | |
NASB: Who cause a person to be indicted by a word, And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments. (NASB ©1995) GWT: those who make people sin with words, those who lay traps for judges, those who, without any reason, deny justice to people who are in the right. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. ASV: that make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought. BBE: Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause. DBY: that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert the judgment of the righteous by futility. JPS: That make a man an offender by words, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought. WBS: That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught. WEB: who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony. YLT: Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous. | |
