18 Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,

and wickedness as with cart ropes,

18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity,

And sin as it were with a cart rope:

18 What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them

with ropes made of lies,

who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!

18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity,

And sin as if with a cart rope;

18 How terrible it will be for those people!

They pull their guilt and sins behind them

as people pull wagons with ropes.

18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;

18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!

18 How horrible it will be for those 

who string people along with lies and empty promises, 

whose lives are sinful. 

18 Woe to those who drag wickedness

with cords of deceit

and pull sin along with cart ropes,

18 Ah, you who drag iniquity along with cords of falsehood,

who drag sin along as with cart ropes,

18 Ah! Those who drag iniquity along with the cords of falsehood

and sin as with rope of the cart,

18 How terrible it will be for those who continue to sin

and lie about it!

How terrible for those who keep on doing what is evil

as if they were tied to it!

18 Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,

And sin as if with cart ropes;
