20–22If we had forgotten to pray to our God

or made fools of ourselves with store-bought gods,

Wouldn’t God have figured this out?

We can’t hide things from him.

No, you decided to make us martyrs,

lambs assigned for sacrifice each day.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

If we had forgotten the name of our God

or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

would not God discover this?

For he knows the secrets of the heart.

Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long;

we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

If we had forgotten the name of our God

or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

would not God have discovered it,

since he knows the secrets of the heart?

Yet for your sake we face death all day long;

we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

If we had forgotten the name of our God

and spread out our hands to a foreign god,

wouldn’t God have found this out,

since he knows the secrets of the heart?

Because of you we are being put to death all day long;

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

NLTNew Living Translation

If we had forgotten the name of our God

or spread our hands in prayer to foreign gods,

God would surely have known it,

for he knows the secrets of every heart.

But for your sake we are killed every day;

we are being slaughtered like sheep.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

If we had forgotten the name of our God,

or had spread out our hands in prayer to a foreign god,

would not God discover this,

for he knows the secrets of the heart?

Rather, on account of you we are killed all day long;

we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.

KJV 1900King James Version

If we have forgotten the name of our God,

Or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

Shall not God search this out?

For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;

We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
