Ezekiel 36:15

Ezekiel 36:15

Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

a. ASV: Neither will I let thee hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to stumble any more, saith the Lord Jehovah.

b. YLT: And I proclaim not unto thee any more the shame of the nations, And the reproach of peoples thou bearest no more, And thy nations stumble not any more, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

c. Classic Amplified:  Neither will I let you hear any more the reproach of the nations, nor shall you suffer the dishonor of the peoples any more, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble and fall any more [through idolatry], says the Lord God.

d. Septuagint: And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and ye shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, saith the Lord God.

e. Stone Edition Torah/Prophets/ Writings: I will no longer allow the derision of the nations to be heard about you, and you will no longer bear the shame of the peoples, and you will never again cause your nations to falter, the word of the Lord HASHEM/ELOHIM.
