Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.

World English Bible (WEB)

I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.

King James Version (KJV)

I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

American Standard Version (ASV)

I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for [the men] themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people that doth not understand shall be overthrown.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)

No visitaré sobre vuestras hijas cuando fornicaren, ni sobre vuestras nueras cuando adulteraren: porque ellos ofrecen con las rameras, y con las malas mujeres sacrifican: por tanto, el pueblo sin entendimiento caerá.

Sagradas Escrituras 1569 (SE 1569)

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Pero, ¿por qué habré de castigarlas a ellas? Pues ustedes los hombres están haciendo lo mismo; ustedes se acuestan con las prostitutas que ofrecen sus cuerpos como culto a sus dioses, y junto con ellas ofrecen sacrificios rituales a esos dioses. ¡Por eso es que el pueblo, carente del verdadero conocimiento de Dios, actúa tan mal y se destruye a sí mismo!
