8 But if people are bound in chains,

held fast by cords of affliction,

9 he tells them what they have done—

that they have sinned arrogantly.

8 And if they be bound in fetters,

And be holden in cords of affliction;

9 Then he sheweth them their work,

And their transgressions that they have exceeded.

8 If they are bound in chains

and caught up in a web of trouble,

9 he shows them the reason.

He shows them their sins of pride.

8 And if they are bound in fetters,

Held in the cords of affliction,

9 Then He tells them their work and their transgressions—

That they have acted defiantly.

8 If people are bound in chains,

or if trouble, like ropes, ties them up,

9 God tells them what they have done,

that they have sinned in their pride.

8 And if they be bound in fetters,

And be taken in the cords of afflictions;

9 Then he showeth them their work,

And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

8 And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction, 9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.

8 However, if righteous people are bound in chains 

and tangled in ropes of misery, 

9 he tells them what they’ve done wrong 

and that they’ve behaved arrogantly. 

8 If people are bound with chains

and trapped by the cords of affliction,

9 God tells them what they have done

and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

8 And if they are bound in fetters

and caught in the cords of affliction,

9 then he declares to them their work

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

8 “And if they are tied up with fetters,

if they are caught in the cords of misery,

9 then he declares their work to them,

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

8 But some people are held by chains.

They are tied up with painful ropes.

9 God tells them what they’ve done.

He tells them they’ve become proud and sinned against him.

8 “And if they are bound in fetters,

And are caught in the cords of affliction,

9 Then He declares to them their work

And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.
