39 Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled

by oppression, calamity and sorrow;

39 Again, they are minished and brought low

Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

39 When they decrease in number and become impoverished

through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,

39 When they are diminished and brought low

Through oppression, affliction and sorrow,

39 Because of disaster, troubles, and sadness,

their families grew smaller and weaker.

39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down

Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

39 And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

39 They became few in number and were humiliated 

because of oppression, disaster, and sorrow. 

39 When they are diminished and are humbled

by cruel oppression and sorrow,

39 When they are diminished and brought low

through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,

39 When they become few and they are bent down

from the oppression of calamity and grief,

39 Then the number of God’s people got smaller.

They were brought low by trouble, suffering and sorrow.

39 When they are diminished and bowed down

Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
