17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;

I punished them, and hid my face in anger,

yet they kept on in their willful ways.

18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;

I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners,

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him:

I hid me, and was wroth,

And he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him:

I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

17 I was angry,

so I punished these greedy people.

I withdrew from them,

but they kept going on their own stubborn way.

18 I have seen what they do,

but I will heal them anyway!

I will lead them.

I will comfort those who mourn,

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness

I was angry and struck him;

I hid and was angry,

And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him;

I will also lead him,

And restore comforts to him

And to his mourners.

17 I was angry because they were dishonest in order to make money.

I punished them and turned away from them in anger,

but they continued to do evil.

18 I have seen what they have done, but I will heal them.

I will guide them and comfort them and those who felt sad for them.

They will all praise me.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid my face and was wroth; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart. 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.

17 I was angry because of their sinful greed, 

so I punished them, hid ⸤from them⸥, and remained angry. 

But they continued to be sinful. 

18 I’ve seen their ⸤sinful⸥ ways, but I’ll heal them. 

I’ll guide them and give them rest. 

I’ll comfort them and their mourners. 

17 Because of his sinful greed I was angry,

so I struck him; I was angry and hid;

but he went on turning back to the desires of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;

I will lead him and restore comfort

to him and his mourners,

17 Because of their wicked covetousness I was angry;

I struck them, I hid and was angry;

but they kept turning back to their own ways.

18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;

I will lead them and repay them with comfort,

creating for their mourners the fruit of the lips.

17 I was angry because of his sin of gain, and I struck him;

I hid and I was angry, but he walked apostate, in the ways of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;

and I will lead him and give him and his mourners comfort as a recompense,

17 I was very angry with them.

They always longed for more and more of everything.

So I punished them for that sin.

I turned my face away from them because I was angry.

But they kept on wanting their own way.

18 I have seen what they have done.

But I will heal them.

I will guide them.

And I will comfort them just as I did before.

17 “Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him;

I hid My face and was angry,

And he went on turning away, in the way of his heart.

18 “I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;

I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners,
