12 If he does not relent,

he will sharpen his sword;

he will bend and string his bow.

13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;

he makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil

conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.

15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out

falls into the pit they have made.

12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;

he has bent and readied his bow;

13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,

making his arrows fiery shafts.

14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil

and is pregnant with mischief

and gives birth to lies.

15 He makes a pit, digging it out,

and falls into the hole that he has made.

12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword;

He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,

And hath conceived mischief,

And brought forth falsehood.

15 He made a pit, and digged it,

And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

12 If a person does not repent,

God will sharpen his sword;

he will bend and string his bow.

13 He will prepare his deadly weapons

and shoot his flaming arrows.

14 The wicked conceive evil;

they are pregnant with trouble

and give birth to lies.

15 They dig a deep pit to trap others,

then fall into it themselves.

12 If he does not turn back,

He will sharpen His sword;

He bends His bow and makes it ready.

13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;

He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.

14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity;

Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

15 He made a pit and dug it out,

And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

12 If they do not change their lives,

God will sharpen his sword;

he will string his bow and take aim.

13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;

he has made his flaming arrows.

14 There are people who think up evil

and plan trouble and tell lies.

15 They dig a hole to trap others,

but they will fall into it themselves.

12 If a man turn not, he will whet his sword;

He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;

13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.

14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity;

Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

15 He hath made a pit, and digged it,

And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

12 If a person does not change, God sharpens his sword. 

By bending his bow, he makes it ready ⸤to shoot⸥. 

13 He prepares his deadly weapons 

and turns them into flaming arrows. 

14 See how that person conceives evil, 

is pregnant with harm, 

and gives birth to lies. 

15 He digs a pit and shovels it out. 

Then he falls into the hole that he made ⸤for others⸥. 

12 If anyone does not repent,

God will sharpen His sword;

He has strung His bow and made it ready.

13 He has prepared His deadly weapons;

He tips His arrows with fire.

14 See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,

conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.

15 He dug a pit and hollowed it out

but fell into the hole he had made.

12 If one does not repent, God will whet his sword;

he has bent and strung his bow;

13 he has prepared his deadly weapons,

making his arrows fiery shafts.

14 See how they conceive evil,

and are pregnant with mischief,

and bring forth lies.

15 They make a pit, digging it out,

and fall into the hole that they have made.

12 If he does not repent, he will sharpen his sword.

He has bent his bow and he has strung it.

13 And he has prepared for him weapons of death.

He has made his arrows fiery shafts.

14 See, he travails with evil.

He is pregnant with trouble,

and he gives birth to deception.

15 He makes a pit and digs it out,

then falls in the trap he has made.

12 If evil people don’t change their ways,

God will sharpen his sword.

He will get his bow ready to use.

13 He has prepared his deadly weapons.

He has made his flaming arrows ready.

14 Anyone who is full of evil

plans trouble and ends up telling lies.

15 Anyone who digs a hole and shovels it out

falls into the pit he has made.

12 If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword;

He has bent His bow and made it ready.

13 He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons;

He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

14 Behold, he travails with wickedness,

And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.

15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,

And has fallen into the hole which he made.
