3 I hear a rebuke that dishonors me,

and my understanding inspires me to reply.

3 I have heard the check of my reproach,

And the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

3 I’ve had to endure your insults,

but now my spirit prompts me to reply.

3 I have heard the rebuke that reproaches me,

And the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.

3 You correct me and I am insulted,

but I understand how to answer you.

3 I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame;

And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.

3 I hear a reproof putting me to shame; and my spirit answereth me by mine understanding.

3 I have heard criticism that makes me ashamed, 

but a spirit beyond my understanding gives me answers. 

3 I have heard a rebuke that insults me,

and my understanding makes me reply.

3 I hear censure that insults me,

and a spirit beyond my understanding answers me.

3 I hear discipline that insults me,

and a spirit beyond my understanding answers me.

3 What you have just said makes fun of me.

So I really have to reply to you.

3 “I listened to the reproof which insults me,

And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.
