American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Yea, he would have allured thee {Hebrew: out of the mouth of.}out of distressInto a broad place, where there is no straitness;And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.
But thou {Or, hast filled up}art full of the judgment of the wicked:Judgment and justice take hold on thee.
{Or, Because there is wrath, beware lest thou be led away by the sufficiency}For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements;Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
Will thy cry avail, that thou be not in distress,Or all the forces of thy strength?
Desire not the night,When peoples {Hebrew: go up.}are cut off in their place.
Take heed, regard not iniquity:For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
And it shall be at that day, saith Jehovah, that thou shalt call me {That is, My husband.}Ishi, and shalt call me no more {That is, My master.}Baali.
So that my soul chooseth strangling,And death rather than these my bones.
