Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

Δια τουτο Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ λεγει, Ειπα βεβαιως οτι ο οικος σου και ο οικος του πατρος σου ηθελον περιπατει ενωπιον μου εως αιωνος· αλλα τωρα ο Κυριος λεγει, Μακραν απ' εμου· διοτι τους δοξαζοντας με θελω δοξασει, οι δε καταφρονουντες με θελουσιν ατιμασθη.

Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

“Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.’ But now Yahweh says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.
