the threat of war will be over. Relax, those two kings that have you so worried will be out of the picture.

For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.

For before the boy knows to reject what is bad and choose what is good, the land of the two kings you dread will be abandoned.

For before the child is that old, the lands of the two kings you fear so much will both be deserted.

For before the boy knows to reject the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good,

The land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
