Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
1 The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
1
The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
2 Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
2
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
3
“But you—come here, you children of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4 Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
4
Who are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?
5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
5
You burn with lust among the oaks and under every spreading tree; you sacrifice your children in the ravines and under the overhanging crags.
6 In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
6
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion; indeed, they are your lot. Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings and offered grain offerings. In view of all this, should I relent?
