To which of the holy ones will you turn? | 1 "Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn? | 1 Call, I pray thee! Is there any that answereth thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn? | 2 "For anger slays the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple. | 2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. | 2 Certainly, anger kills a stubborn fool, and jealousy murders a gullible person. | 2 For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple. | 2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the simple. | 3 "I have seen the foolish taking root, And I cursed his abode immediately. | 3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. | 3 I have seen a stubborn fool take root, but I quickly cursed his house. | 3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation. | 3 I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation. | 4 "His sons are far from safety, They are even oppressed in the gate, And there is no deliverer. | 4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. | 4 His children are far from help. They are crushed at the city gate, and no one is there to rescue them. | 4 His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them, | 4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer: | 5 "His harvest the hungry devour And take it to a place of thorns, And the schemer is eager for their wealth. | 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. | 5 What a stubborn fool gathers, hungry people eat. They take it even from among the thorns, and thirsty people pant after his wealth. | 5 whose harvest the hungry eats up, and take it even out of the thorns. The snare gapes for their substance. | 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
