22 Now stop your mocking,

or your chains will become heavier;

the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me

of the destruction decreed against the whole land.

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers,

Lest your bands be made strong:

For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts

A consumption, even determined

Upon the whole earth.

22 For the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

has plainly said that he is determined to crush the whole land.

So scoff no more,

or your punishment will be even greater.

22 Now therefore, do not be mockers,

Lest your bonds be made strong;

For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,

A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

22 Now, you must not make fun of these things,

or the ropes around you will become tighter.

The Lord God All-Powerful has told me

how the whole earth will be destroyed.

22 Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth.

22 Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and one determined, upon the whole land.

22 Now stop laughing, or your chains will be tightened, 

because I have heard that the Almighty Lord of Armies 

has finally determined to destroy the whole land. 

22 So now, do not mock,

or your shackles will become stronger.

Indeed, I have heard from the Lord God of Hosts

a decree of destruction for the whole land.

22 Now therefore do not scoff,

or your bonds will be made stronger;

for I have heard a decree of destruction

from the Lord God of hosts upon the whole land.

22 And now you must not scoff,

or your bonds will be strong,

for I have heard from the Lord, Yahweh of hosts:

complete destruction

decreed upon all the land.

22 Now stop making fun of me.

If you don’t, your chains will become heavier.

The Lord who rules over all has spoken to me.

The Lord has told me he has ordered that the whole land be destroyed.

22 And now do not carry on as scoffers,

Or your fetters will be made stronger;

For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts

Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
