13This is the portion of a wicked man with God,

And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword;

And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death,

And his widows shall make no lamentation.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,

and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:

If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword,

and his descendants have not enough bread.

Those who survive him the pestilence buries,

and his widows do not weep.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,

the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:

However many his children, their fate is the sword;

his offspring will never have enough to eat.

The plague will bury those who survive him,

and their widows will not weep for them.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

This is a wicked man’s lot from God,

the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword;

his descendants will never have enough food.

Those who survive him will be buried by the plague,

yet their widows will not weep for them.

NLTNew Living Translation

“This is what the wicked will receive from God;

this is their inheritance from the Almighty.

They may have many children,

but the children will die in war or starve to death.

Those who survive will die of a plague,

and not even their widows will mourn them.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“This is the portion of the wicked human being with God,

and they receive from Shaddai the inheritance of the ruthless.

If their children multiply, it is for the sword,

and his offspring do not have enough to eat.

Their survivors are buried through the plague,

and their widows do not weep.

KJV 1900King James Version

And the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword:

And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:

And his widows shall not weep.
