18 Caravans turn aside from their routes;

they go off into the wasteland and perish.

18 The paths of their way are turned aside;

They go to nothing, and perish.

18 The caravans turn aside to be refreshed,

but there is nothing to drink, so they die.

18 The paths of their way turn aside,

They go nowhere and perish.

18 Travelers turn away from their paths

and go into the desert and die.

18 The caravans that travel by the way of them turn aside;

They go up into the waste, and perish.

18 They wind about in the paths of their course, they go off into the waste and perish.

18 They change their course. 

They go into a wasteland and disappear. 

18 Caravans turn away from their routes,

go up into the desert, and perish.

18 The caravans turn aside from their course;

they go up into the waste, and perish.

18 The paths of their way wind around;

they go up into the wasteland, and they perish.

18 Groups of traders turn away from their usual paths.

They go up into the dry and empty land.

And they die there.

18 “The paths of their course wind along,

They go up into nothing and perish.
