18 Is he not the One who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’

and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’

18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked?

And to princes, Ye are ungodly?

18 For he says to kings, ‘You are wicked,’

and to nobles, ‘You are unjust.’

18 Is it fitting to say to a king, ‘You are worthless,’

And to nobles, ‘You are wicked’?

18 God is the one who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’

or to important people, ‘You are evil.’

18 Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile,

Or to nobles, Ye are wicked;

18 Shall one say to a king, Belial? to nobles, Wicked?

18 Should anyone ⸤even⸥ say to a king, 

‘You good-for-nothing scoundrel!’ 

or to nobles, ‘You wicked people!’ 

18 who says to a king, “Worthless man!”

and to nobles, “Wicked men!”?

18 who says to a king, ‘You scoundrel!’

and to princes, ‘You wicked men!’;

18 the one who says to a king,

‘You worthless man,’ to noblemen, ‘You wicked man,’

18 He says to kings, ‘You are worthless.’

He says to nobles, ‘You are evil.’

18 Who says to a king, ‘Worthless one,’

To nobles, ‘Wicked ones’;
