KJV:
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
NASB:
For I have taken all this to my heart and explain it that righteous men, wise men, and their deeds are in the hand of God. Man does not know whether it will be love or hatred; anything awaits him.
KJV:
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
NASB:
It is the same for all. There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who is afraid to swear.
KJV:
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
NASB:
Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions.
KJV:
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
NASB:
Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
KJV:
From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
NASB:
From the ends of the earth we hear songs, "Glory to the Righteous One," But I say, "Woe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me! The treacherous deal treacherously, And the treacherous deal very treacherously."
KJV:
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
NASB:
"Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter, The one that remains faithful.
KJV:
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
NASB:
The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
KJV:
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
NASB:
Who cause a person to be indicted by a word, And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.
KJV:
Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
NASB:
Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know? Or from former times, that we may say, "He is right!"? Surely there was no one who declared, Surely there was no one who proclaimed, Surely there was no one who heard your words.
