4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;

they never call on God.

5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,

where there was nothing to dread.

God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;

you put them to shame, for God despised them.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread: They have not called upon God. 5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

4 Will those who do evil never learn?

They eat up my people like bread

and wouldn’t think of praying to God.

5 Terror will grip them,

terror like they have never known before.

God will scatter the bones of your enemies.

You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

And do not call upon God?

5 There they are in great fear

Where no fear was,

For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;

You have put them to shame,

Because God has despised them.

4 Don’t the wicked understand?

They destroy my people as if they were eating bread.

They do not ask God for help.

5 The wicked are filled with terror

where there had been nothing to fear.

God will scatter the bones of your enemies.

You will defeat them,

because God has rejected them.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

And call not upon God?

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was;

For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee:

Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? they call not upon God. 5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, for God hath despised them.

4 Are all those troublemakers, 

those who devour my people as if they were devouring food, 

so ignorant that they do not call on God? 

5 There they are—panic-stricken— 

⸤but⸥ there was no reason to panic, 

because God has scattered the bones 

of those who set up camp against you. 

You put them to shame. 

After all, God has rejected them. 

4 Will evildoers never understand?

They consume My people as they consume bread;

they do not call on God.

5 Then they will be filled with terror—

terror like no other —

because God will scatter

the bones of those who besiege you.

You will put them to shame,

for God has rejected them.

4 Have they no knowledge, those evildoers,

who eat up my people as they eat bread,

and do not call upon God?

5 There they shall be in great terror,

in terror such as has not been.

For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly;

they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them.

4 Do not evildoers know,

they who eat my people as though they were eating bread?

They do not call on God.

5 There they are very fearful

where no fear had been,

because God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you.

You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

4 Won’t those who do evil ever learn?

They eat up my people as if they were eating bread.

They don’t call out to God for help.

5 Just look at them! They are filled with terror

even when there is nothing to be afraid of!

People of Israel, God will scatter the bones of those who attack you.

You will put them to shame, because God hates them.

4 Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge,

Who eat up My people as though they ate bread

And have not called upon God?

5 There they were in great fear where no fear had been;

For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you;

You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.
