Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,

Then the word of the LORD of Armies came to me, saying,

Are not these the words that Yahweh proclaimed ⌞through⌟ the former prophets, when Jerusalem and ⌞its surrounding towns⌟ were inhabited and at ease, and the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited?’ ”

¿No son estas las palabras que publicó Jehová por mano de los profetas primeros, cuando Jerusalem estaba habitada y quieta, y sus ciudades en sus alrededores, y el mediodía y la campiña se habitaban?

Así habló Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo: Juzgad juicio verdadero, y haced misericordia y piedad cada cual con su hermano:

You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, and the needy. You must not devise evil in your heart ⌞against one another⌟.’

No agraviéis á la viuda, ni al huérfano, ni al extranjero, ni al pobre; ni ninguno piense mal en su corazón contra su hermano.

And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder and ⌞stopped their ears from listening⌟.

Empero no quisieron escuchar, antes dieron hombro rebelado, y agravaron sus oídos para no oir:

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

⌞They made their hearts adamant⌟ in order not to hear the law and the words that Yahweh of hosts had sent by his spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of hosts.

Y pusieron su corazón como diamante, para no oir la ley ni las palabras que Jehová de los ejércitos enviaba por su espíritu, por mano de los profetas primeros: fué, por tanto, hecho grande castigo por Jehová de los ejércitos.

‘Thus, just as I called and they would not hear, so they will call and I will not hear,’ says Yahweh of hosts.

Y aconteció que como él clamó, y no escucharon, así ellos clamaron, y yo no escuché, dice Jehová de los ejércitos;

Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

It has come to pass that, as he called and they refused to listen, so they will call and I will not listen,” said the LORD of Armies;

‘And I scattered them with a wind among all the nations that they had not known; the land was made desolate behind them— no one crossing through it or returning—and they made the desirable land a desolation.’ ”

Antes los esparcí con torbellino por todas las gentes que ellos no conocían, y la tierra fué desolada tras de ellos, sin quedar quien fuese ni viniese; pues tornaron en asolamiento el país deseable.

But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

“but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”
