ESVEnglish Standard Version

Therefore pride is their necklace;

violence covers them as a garment.

Their eyes swell out through fatness;

their hearts overflow with follies.

They scoff and speak with malice;

loftily they threaten oppression.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Therefore pride is their necklace;

they clothe themselves with violence.

From their callous hearts comes iniquity;

their evil imaginations have no limits.

They scoff, and speak with malice;

with arrogance they threaten oppression.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Therefore, pride is their necklace,

and violence covers them like a garment.

Their eyes bulge out from fatness;

the imaginations of their hearts run wild.

They mock, and they speak maliciously;

they arrogantly threaten oppression.

NLTNew Living Translation

They wear pride like a jeweled necklace

and clothe themselves with cruelty.

These fat cats have everything

their hearts could ever wish for!

They scoff and speak only evil;

in their pride they seek to crush others.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Therefore pride is their necklace;

an outfit of violence covers them.

Their eye bulges from fat.

Imaginings overflow their heart.

They mock and speak maliciously of oppression;

they speak as though from on high.
