Psalm 120:4–5

4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,

with burning coals of the broom bush.

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,

that I live among the tents of Kedar!

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

With coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,

That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows

and burned with glowing coals.

5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech.

It pains me to live in distant Kedar.

4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,

With coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech,

That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a warrior

and with burning coals of wood.

5 How terrible it is for me to live in the land of Meshech,

to live among the people of Kedar.

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

With coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,

That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

4 He will give you a warrior’s sharpened arrows and red-hot coals. 

5 How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshech 

or to stay in the tents of Kedar. 

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal!

5 What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows,

with glowing coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe is me, that I am an alien in Meshech,

that I must live among the tents of Kedar.

4 The sharpened arrows of a warrior,

with burning charcoals from broom trees.

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier.

He will punish you with burning wood from a desert tree.

5 How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshech!

How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar!

4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,

With the burning coals of the broom tree.

5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,

For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
