10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!

A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!

10 “Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.

10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully,

And cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

10 Cursed are those who refuse to do the Lord’s work,

who hold back their swords from shedding blood!

10 Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,

And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

10 A curse will be on anyone who doesn’t do what the Lord says,

and a curse will be on anyone who holds back his sword from killing.

10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood!

10 Cursed are those who neglect doing the Lord’s work. 

Cursed are those who keep their swords from killing. 

10 The one who does

the Lord’s business deceitfully is cursed,

and the one who withholds

his sword from bloodshed is cursed.

10 Accursed is the one who is slack in doing the work of the Lord; and accursed is the one who keeps back the sword from bloodshed.

10 The one who does the work of Yahweh with slackness is cursed,

and the one who keeps away blood from his sword is cursed.

10 “May a person who is lazy when he does my work

be under my curse!

May anyone who keeps his sword from killing

be under my curse!
