31 The mighty man will become tinder

and his work a spark;

both will burn together,

with no one to quench the fire.”

31 And the strong shall be as tow,

And the maker of it as a spark,

And they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

31 The strongest among you will disappear like straw;

their evil deeds will be the spark that sets it on fire.

They and their evil works will burn up together,

and no one will be able to put out the fire.

31 The strong shall be as tinder,

And the work of it as a spark;

Both will burn together,

And no one shall quench them.

31 Powerful people will be like small, dry pieces of wood,

and their works will be like sparks.

They will burn together,

and no one will be able to put out that fire.”

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

31 And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench them.

31 Strong people will become tinder for a fire, 

and their work will be the spark. 

Both of them will burn together, 

and there will be no one to put out the fire. 

31 The strong one will become tinder,

and his work a spark;

both will burn together,

with no one to quench the flames.

31 The strong shall become like tinder,

and their work like a spark;

they and their work shall burn together,

with no one to quench them.

31 And the strong man shall become like tinder,

and his work like a spark.

And both of them shall burn together,

and there is not one to quench them.”

31 Your strongest men will become like dry pieces of wood.

Their worship of other gods will be the spark that lights the fire.

Everything will be burned up.

No one will be there to put the fire out.

31 The strong man will become tinder,

His work also a spark.

Thus they shall both burn together

And there will be none to quench them.
