18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;

but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.

18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,

but blessed is he who keeps the law.

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish:

But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

18 When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.

But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;

But happy is he who keeps the law.

18 Where there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled,

but those who obey what they have been taught are happy.

18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint;

But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

18 Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint; but happy is he that keepeth the law.

18 Without prophetic vision people run wild, 

but blessed are those who follow ⸤God’s⸥ teachings. 

18 Without revelation people run wild,

but one who listens to instruction will be happy.

18 Where there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,

but happy are those who keep the law.

18 When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,

but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.

18 Where there is no message from God, the people don’t control themselves.

But blessed are those who obey the law.
