WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Ay de los que se pasan la noche tramando el mal, y se levantan de madrugada para ejecutar lo que planearon, porque tienen el poder para hacerlo!
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 ¡No se detienen ante nada para cometer sus maldades! Codician la parcela o la casa de una persona, aunque sea todo lo que esta persona posee, y se la quitan por medio de fraudes, amenazas y violencia. Amenazan al dueño de la casa junto con toda su familia, y le roban lo que tiene.
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Pero el Señor dice: «Les daré mal por mal, y nada me detendrá; tengo planeado mandar una gran desgracia contra ustedes, de la cual no podrán escapar. Después de lo que les voy a hacer, ya no andarán pavoneándose con tanta arrogancia.
3 Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Cuando llegue ese día, la gente se burlará de ustedes y les dedicarán este triste canto: “¡Estamos acabados, arruinados! Dios nos ha quitado nuestras tierras y se las ha dado a otros, quienes se las reparten echando suertes, y a nosotros nos ha enviado a vivir muy lejos de nuestro país”».
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Por eso, israelitas, ustedes no volverán a ser parte del pueblo del Señor.
5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
6 «No digan tonterías, no sigan diciendo que la desgracia vendrá sobre nosotros, porque no será así», le dice la gente a los profetas.
6 “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 Esta gente dice también: «¿Acaso creen que la descendencia de Jacob está maldita? ¿Creen que Dios ha dejado de ser paciente con nosotros? ¿Acaso las palabras del Señor no son siempre para nuestro bien? ¡Nunca nos irá mal, pues somos el pueblo justo!».
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 Antes ustedes eran mi pueblo, pero ahora se han convertido en mis enemigos. Son tan malos que a los que regresan agotados de la guerra, ustedes les arrebatan su ropa.
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 A las mujeres de mi pueblo les roban sus casas, donde vivían seguras, y a sus hijos les quitan todo aquello que yo mismo les proporcioné.
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 ¡Levántense! ¡Márchense de aquí, pues este ya no es un lugar seguro para vivir! ¡Voy a destruir este lugar a consecuencia de las muchas maldades que ustedes cometen! ¡Recibirán altos intereses por la cantidad de maldades acumuladas!
10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Si un falso profeta viniera y les dijera: «Les anunciaré cosas muy lindas a cambio de alguna botella de vino», seguro que ustedes lo recibirían con los brazos abiertos.
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 Vendrá el día en que yo reuniré al grupo de sobrevivientes de Israel, y los pastorearé como si fueran ovejas de un redil, como rebaño en las praderas, y serán de nuevo un pueblo alegre y con ánimo de fiesta.
12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 Yo mismo los sacaré del exilio, los conduciré de nuevo a la libertad, y los llevaré de regreso a su propia tierra. Yo, el Señor, que soy su Rey, iré delante de ellos abriéndoles camino.
13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the people for their rebellion and disobedience; "you do always," he says, "resist the Holy Ghost;" and again Isaiah,--"They vexed His Holy Spirit, therefore He was turned to be their enemy;" and in another passage, "the house of Jacob angered the Spirit of the Lord." Are not these passages indicative of authoritative power?
