17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool.

17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

17 Such boasting is not from the Lord, but I am acting like a fool.

17 What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

17 When I brag because I feel sure of myself, I am not talking as the Lord would talk but as a fool.

17 That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.

17 What I speak I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting.

17 What I say as I start bragging is foolishness. It’s not something I would say if I were speaking for the Lord.

17 What I say in this matter of boasting, I don’t speak as the Lord would, but foolishly.

17 What I am saying in regard to this boastful confidence, I am saying not with the Lord’s authority, but as a fool;

17 What I am saying in this project of boasting, I am not saying as the Lord would say, but as in foolishness.

17 When I brag about myself like this, I’m not talking the way the Lord would. I’m talking like a fool.

17 What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
