34 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her-how often I wanted to gather your children together in the manner that a hen gathers her brood of chicks under her wings, but you people did not want [it]! 35 Look! Your house is abandoned to you. [Jer. 22:5] I tell you, you will by no means see me until you say, 'Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's name.'" [Psa. 118:26]

[Jer. 22:5] You won't see me again until the time when you say, "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD." [Psa. 118:26]

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
