28 I look but there is no one—

no one among the gods to give counsel,

no one to give answer when I ask them.

28 But when I look, there is no one;

among these there is no counselor

who, when I ask, gives an answer.

28 Not one of your idols told you this.

Not one gave any answer when I asked.

28 For I looked, and there was no man;

I looked among them, but there was no counselor,

Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

28 I look at the idols, but there is not one that can answer.

None of them can give advice;

none of them can answer my questions.

28 And when I look, there is no man: even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word.

28 And I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, —and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

28 When I look, there is no one. 

There is no one to advise them. 

When I ask them a question, 

will they give an answer? 

28 When I look, there is no one;

there is no counselor among them;

when I ask them, they have nothing to say.

28 But when I look there is no one;

among these there is no counselor

who, when I ask, gives an answer.

28 But I look and there is no man,

and I look among these and there is no counselor,

that I might ask them and they might answer a word.

28 I look, but there is no one

among the gods that can give me advice.

None of them can answer

when I ask them the simplest question.

28 “But when I look, there is no one,

And there is no counselor among them

Who, if I ask, can give an answer.
