6 But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,

which are not gathered with the hand.

7 Whoever touches thorns

uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;

they are burned up where they lie.”

6 But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away,

for they cannot be taken with the hand;

7 but the man who touches them

arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,

and they are utterly consumed with fire.”

6 But the godless are like thorns to be thrown away,

for they tear the hand that touches them.

7 One must use iron tools to chop them down;

they will be totally consumed by fire.”

6 But the sons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away,

Because they cannot be taken with hands.

7 But the man who touches them

Must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,

And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.”

6 “But all evil people will be thrown away like thorns

that cannot be held in a hand.

7 No one can touch them

except with a tool of iron or wood.

They will be thrown in the fire and burned where they lie.”

6 But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away,

Because they cannot be taken with the hand;

7 But the man that toucheth them

Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear:

And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.

6 But the sons of Belial are all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands; 7 And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.

6 “Worthless people are like thorns. 

All of them are thrown away, because they cannot be picked by hand. 

7 A person who touches them uses iron ⸤tools⸥ 

or the shaft of a spear. 

Firewill burn them up completely wherever they are.” 

6 But all the wicked are like thorns raked aside;

they can never be picked up by hand.

7 The man who touches them

must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear.

They will be completely burned up on the spot.

6 But the godless are all like thorns that are thrown away;

for they cannot be picked up with the hand;

7 to touch them one uses an iron bar

or the shaft of a spear.

And they are entirely consumed in fire on the spot.

6 But evil persons are like thorns cast aside; all of them, because they cannot be picked up in the hand. 7 And if a man wants to touch them, he must use an iron instrument or the shaft of a spear; then they are consumed entirely with fire on the spot.”

6 But evil people are like thorns that are thrown away.

You can’t pick them up with your hands.

7 Even if you touch them,

you must use an iron tool or a spear.

Thorns are burned up right where they are.”

6 “But the worthless, every one of them will be thrust away like thorns,

Because they cannot be taken in hand;

7 But the man who touches them

Must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,

And they will be completely burned with fire in their place.”
