8 But if people are bound in chains,

held fast by cords of affliction,

8 And if they be bound in fetters,

And be holden in cords of affliction;

8 If they are bound in chains

and caught up in a web of trouble,

8 And if they are bound in fetters,

Held in the cords of affliction,

8 If people are bound in chains,

or if trouble, like ropes, ties them up,

8 And if they be bound in fetters,

And be taken in the cords of afflictions;

8 And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,

8 However, if righteous people are bound in chains 

and tangled in ropes of misery, 

8 If people are bound with chains

and trapped by the cords of affliction,

8 And if they are bound in fetters

and caught in the cords of affliction,

8 “And if they are tied up with fetters,

if they are caught in the cords of misery,

8 But some people are held by chains.

They are tied up with painful ropes.

8 “And if they are bound in fetters,

And are caught in the cords of affliction,
