and to the land of our birth,

because of the sword of the oppressor.’

They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.

to our own people and our native lands,

away from the sword of the oppressor.’

and to our native land,

away from the oppressor’s sword.”

‘Come, let’s go back to our people,

Let’s get away from the sword of the enemy!’

He did not stand because Yahweh thrust him down.

He multiplied the ones stumbling.

Furthermore, each one fell to his neighbor,

and said, ‘Stand up, and let us return to our people

and to the land of our birth,

because of the presence of the sword of the oppressor.’

KJV 1900King James Version

Why are thy valiant men swept away?

They stood not, because the Lord did drive them.

Yea, one fell upon another:

And they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people,

And to the land of our nativity,

From the oppressing sword.
