3 “Do not keep talking so proudly

or let your mouth speak such arrogance,

for the Lord is a God who knows,

and by him deeds are weighed.

4 “The bows of the warriors are broken,

but those who stumbled are armed with strength.

5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,

but those who were hungry are hungry no more.

She who was barren has borne seven children,

but she who has had many sons pines away.

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly;

Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:

For the Lord is a God of knowledge,

And by him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken,

And they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

And they that were hungry ceased:

So that the barren hath born seven;

And she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

3 “Stop acting so proud and haughty!

Don’t speak with such arrogance!

For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done;

he will judge your actions.

4 The bow of the mighty is now broken,

and those who stumbled are now strong.

5 Those who were well fed are now starving,

and those who were starving are now full.

The childless woman now has seven children,

and the woman with many children wastes away.

3 “Talk no more so very proudly;

Let no arrogance come from your mouth,

For the Lord is the God of knowledge;

And by Him actions are weighed.

4 “The bows of the mighty men are broken,

And those who stumbled are girded with strength.

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,

And the hungry have ceased to hunger.

Even the barren has borne seven,

And she who has many children has become feeble.

3 “Don’t continue bragging,

don’t speak proud words.

The Lord is a God who knows everything,

and he judges what people do.

4 “The bows of warriors break,

but weak people become strong.

5 Those who once had plenty of food now must work for food,

but people who were hungry are hungry no more.

The woman who could not have children now has seven,

but the woman who had many children now is sad.

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly;

Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth;

For Jehovah is a God of knowledge,

And by him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken;

And they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

And they that were hungry have ceased to hunger:

Yea, the barren hath borne seven;

And she that hath many children languisheth.

3 Do not multiply your words of pride, let not vain-glory come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a •God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4 The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 5 They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are so no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

3 “Do not boast 

⸤or⸥ let arrogance come out of your mouth 

because the Lord is a God of knowledge, 

and he weighs ⸤our⸥ actions. 

4 “The bows of the warriors are broken, 

but those who stumble are armed with strength. 

5 Those who were well-fed hire themselves out for a piece of bread, 

but those who were hungry hunger no more. 

Even the woman who was childless gives birth to seven children, 

but the mother of many children grieves all alone. 

3 Do not boast so proudly,

or let arrogant words come out of your mouth,

for the Lord is a God of knowledge,

and actions are weighed by Him.

4 The bows of the warriors are broken,

but the feeble are clothed with strength.

5 Those who are full hire themselves out for food,

but those who are starving hunger no more.

The woman who is childless gives birth to seven,

but the woman with many sons pines away.

3 Talk no more so very proudly,

let not arrogance come from your mouth;

for the Lord is a God of knowledge,

and by him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of the mighty are broken,

but the feeble gird on strength.

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,

but those who were hungry are fat with spoil.

The barren has borne seven,

but she who has many children is forlorn.

3 Do not increase speaking very proud words!

Let no arrogance go forth from your mouth,

for Yahweh is a God of knowledge

whose deeds are not weighed.

4 The bows of mighty warriors are shattered,

but those who stumble gird themselves with strength.

5 Those who were full must hire themselves out for bread,

but those who are hungry will become fat.

As for the infertile, she will bear seven,

but she who has many sons withers away.

3 “Don’t keep talking so proudly.

Don’t let your mouth say such proud things.

The Lord is a God who knows everything.

He judges everything people do.

4 “The bows of great heroes are broken.

But those who trip and fall are made strong.

5 Those who used to be full have to work for food.

But those who used to be hungry aren’t hungry anymore.

The woman who couldn’t have children has seven of them now.

But the woman who has had many children is sad now because hers have died.

3 “Boast no more so very proudly,

Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;

For the Lord is a God of knowledge,

And with Him actions are weighed.

4 “The bows of the mighty are shattered,

But the feeble gird on strength.

5 “Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,

But those who were hungry cease to hunger.

Even the barren gives birth to seven,

But she who has many children languishes.
