16 May that man be like the towns

the Lord overthrew without pity.

May he hear wailing in the morning,

a battle cry at noon.

16 And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not:

And let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

16 Let him be destroyed like the cities of old

that the Lord overthrew without mercy.

Terrify him all day long with battle shouts,

16 And let that man be like the cities

Which the Lord—overthrew, and did not relent;

Let him hear the cry in the morning

And the shouting at noon,

16 Let that man be like the towns

the Lord destroyed without pity.

Let him hear loud crying in the morning

and battle cries at noon,

16 And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

16 And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,

16 May that man be like the cities 

that the Lord destroyed without pity. 

May he hear a cry of alarm in the morning 

and a battle cry at noon. 

16 Let that man be like the cities

the Lord demolished without compassion.

Let him hear an outcry in the morning

and a war cry at noontime

16 Let that man be like the cities

that the Lord overthrew without pity;

let him hear a cry in the morning

and an alarm at noon,

16 And let that man be like the cities

that Yahweh demolished without regret,

and let him hear a cry for help in the morning,

and an alarm at the time of noon.

16 May that man be like the towns

the Lord destroyed without pity.

May that man hear loud sobs in the morning.

May he hear a battle cry at noon.

16 But let that man be like the cities

Which the Lord overthrew without relenting,

And let him hear an outcry in the morning

And a shout of alarm at noon;
