12 I will destine you for the sword,

and all of you will fall in the slaughter;

for I called but you did not answer,

I spoke but you did not listen.

You did evil in my sight

and chose what displeases me.”

12 Therefore will I number you to the sword,

And ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:

Because when I called, ye did not answer;

When I spake, ye did not hear;

But did evil before mine eyes,

And did choose that wherein I delighted not.

12 now I will ‘destine’ you for the sword.

All of you will bow down before the executioner.

For when I called, you did not answer.

When I spoke, you did not listen.

You deliberately sinned—before my very eyes—

and chose to do what you know I despise.”

12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,

And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;

Because, when I called, you did not answer;

When I spoke, you did not hear,

But did evil before My eyes,

And chose that in which I do not delight.”

12 I decide your fate, and I will punish you with my sword.

You will all be killed,

because I called you, but you refused to answer.

I spoke to you, but you wouldn’t listen.

You did the things I said were evil

and chose to do things that displease me.”

12 I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.

12 I will even assign you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down in the slaughter; because I called, and ye did not answer, I spoke, and ye did not hear; but ye did what was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.

12 Now I will destine you for death. 

All of you will bow to be slaughtered. 

I called, but you didn’t answer. 

I spoke, but you didn’t listen. 

You did what I consider evil. 

You chose what I don’t like. 

12 I will destine you for the sword,

and all of you will kneel down to be slaughtered,

because I called and you did not answer,

I spoke and you did not hear;

you did what was evil in My sight

and chose what I did not delight in.

12 I will destine you to the sword,

and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter;

because, when I called, you did not answer,

when I spoke, you did not listen,

but you did what was evil in my sight

and chose what I did not delight in.

12 and I will remit you to the sword,

and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,

because I called, but you did not answer;

I spoke, but you did not listen,

but you did the evil in my eyes,

and you chose that in which I do not delight.”

12 So I will make it your fate to be killed with swords.

Each of you will die a horrible death.

That is because I called out to you, but you did not answer me.

I spoke to you, but you did not listen.

You did what is evil in my sight.

You chose to do what does not please me.”

12 I will destine you for the sword,

And all of you will bow down to the slaughter.

Because I called, but you did not answer;

I spoke, but you did not hear.

And you did evil in My sight

And chose that in which I did not delight.”
