1. The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

  1. O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. 3. All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers; all that were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off. (Isaiah 22:1-3, ASV)

1. The burden of the Valley of Vision. What, to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee, to the roofs?

  1. Full of stirs, a noisy city, an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle. 3. All thy rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled. (Isaiah 22:1-3, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

  • ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
  • WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
  • KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
  • YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
