¹⁰ Though they were like thorns intertwined, and as drunkards drenched with their drink, yet have they been devoured, like stubble fully dry.

¹² Thus, saith Yahweh, Though they be in full force, and so in great numbers, yet, even so, have they been cut off, and have passed away, - If I humble thee once , I will not humble thee again.

¹² Thus says the Lord,“Though they are at full strength and likewise many,Even so, they will be ^(AD)cut off and pass away.Though I have afflicted you,I will afflict you ^(AE)no longer.

¹² Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

¹² This is what the Lord says:Though they are strong^(h) and numerous,they will still be mowed down,and he⁽ⁱ⁾ will pass away.Though I have afflicted you,^(j)(L)I will afflict you no longer.^(M)

¹² This is what the LORD says: "No matter how strong they are, and no matter how numerous, they will surely be annihilated and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will do so no more.

¹⁴ Then will Yahweh give command concerning thee, None of thy name shall be sown any more, - out of the house of thy gods, will I cut off carved image and molten image, I will appoint thy grave, for thou art of little esteem.

¹⁴ The Lord has issued a command concerning ^(e)you:“^(f)Your name will ^(AG)no longer be perpetuated.I will cut off ^(g)(AH)idol and ^(h)imageFrom the house of your gods.I will prepare your ^(AI)grave,For you are contemptible.”

¹⁴ And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.

¹⁴ The Lord has issued an order concerning you:There will be no offspringto carry on your name.^(k)(N)I will eliminate the carved idol and cast imagefrom the house of your gods;^(O)I will prepare your grave,for you are contemptible.
