7–8“ ‘The blood from murders

has stained the whole city;

Blood runs bold on the street stones,

with no one bothering to wash it off—

Blood out in the open to public view

to provoke my wrath,

to trigger my vengeance.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“ ‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:

She poured it on the bare rock;

she did not pour it on the ground,

where the dust would cover it.

To stir up wrath and take revenge

I put her blood on the bare rock,

so that it would not be covered.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

For the blood she shed is still within her.

She put it out on the bare rock;

she didn’t pour it on the ground

to cover it with dust.

In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance,

I have put her blood on the bare rock,

so that it would not be covered.

NLTNew Living Translation

For the blood of her murders

is splashed on the rocks.

It isn’t even spilled on the ground,

where the dust could cover it!

So I will splash her blood on a rock

for all to see,

an expression of my anger

and vengeance against her.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For her blood was in the midst of her; she put it on a bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust. To stir up rage, to avenge myself through vengeance, I placed its blood on the barrenness of a rock, so that it may not be covered.”

KJV 1900King James Version

For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
