18 “Yet they are foam on the surface of the water;

their portion of the land is cursed,

so that no one goes to the vineyards.

18 “You say, ‘Swift are they on the face of the waters;

their portion is cursed in the land;

no treader turns toward their vineyards.

18 He is swift as the waters;

Their portion is cursed in the earth:

He beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

18 “But they disappear like foam down a river.

Everything they own is cursed,

and they are afraid to enter their own vineyards.

18 “They are like foam floating on the water.

Their part of the land is cursed;

no one uses the road that goes by their vineyards.

18 Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters;

Their portion is cursed in the earth:

They turn not into the way of the vineyards.

18 He is swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth: he turneth not unto the way of the vineyards.

18 Such people are like scum on the surface of the water. 

Their property is cursed in the land. 

People do not travel the road that goes to their vineyards. 

18 They float on the surface of the water.

Their section of the land is cursed,

so that they never go to their vineyards.

18 “Swift are they on the face of the waters;

their portion in the land is cursed;

no treader turns toward their vineyards.

18 “He himself is swift on the water’s surface;

their portion is cursed in the land.

No one turns toward the path of their vineyards.

18 “But sinners are like bubbles on the surface of water.

Their share of the land is under God’s curse.

So no one goes to their vineyards.

18 “They are insignificant on the surface of the water;

Their portion is cursed on the earth.

They do not turn toward the vineyards.
