ESVEnglish Standard Version

Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing,

and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress,

or all the force of your strength?

Do not long for the night,

when peoples vanish in their place.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Be careful that no one entices you by riches;

do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts

sustain you so you would not be in distress?

Do not long for the night,

to drag people away from their homes.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Be careful that no one lures you with riches;

do not let a large ransom lead you astray.

Can your wealth or all your physical exertion

keep you from distress?

Do not long for the night

when nations will disappear from their places.

Copyright 2017 Holman Bible Publishers

NLTNew Living Translation

But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth.

Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin.

Could all your wealth

or all your mighty efforts

keep you from distress?

Do not long for the cover of night,

for that is when people will be destroyed.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Yes, it is wrath, so that it will not incite you into mockery;

and do not let the ransom’s greatness turn you aside.

Will your cry for help sustain you without distress,

or all the efforts of your strength?

You must not long for the night,

to cut off people in their place.
