Parallel Strong's Berean Study BibleFor idols speak deceit and diviners see illusions; they tell FALSE dreams and offer empty comfort. Therefore the people wander like sheep, oppressed for lack of a shepherd. Young's Literal Translation Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd. King James Bible For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd.
