57 Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless,

as unreliable as a faulty bow.

57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;

they twisted like a deceitful bow.

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:

They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

57 They turned back and were as faithless as their parents.

They were as undependable as a crooked bow.

57 They turned away and were disloyal just like their ancestors.

They were like a crooked bow that does not shoot straight.

57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers:

They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

57 And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.

57 They were disloyal and treacherous like their ancestors. 

They were like arrows shot from a defective bow. 

57 They treacherously turned away like their fathers;

they became warped like a faulty bow.

57 but turned away and were faithless like their ancestors;

they twisted like a treacherous bow.

57 And they turned and were treacherous like their ancestors.

They twisted like a crooked bow.

57 Like their people who lived before them,

they turned away from him and were not faithful.

They were like a bow that doesn’t shoot straight.

They couldn’t be trusted.

57 But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;

They turned aside like a treacherous bow.
