When he cut them down, they came running for help;
they turned and pled for mercy.
They gave witness that God was their rock,
that High God was their redeemer,
But they didn’t mean a word of it;
they lied through their teeth the whole time.
They could not have cared less about him,
wanted nothing to do with his Covenant.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
When he killed them, they sought him;
they repented and sought God earnestly.
They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God their redeemer.
But they flattered him with their mouths;
they lied to him with their tongues.
Their heart was not steadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
They remembered that God was their Rock,
that God Most High was their Redeemer.
But then they would flatter him with their mouths,
lying to him with their tongues;
their hearts were not loyal to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
When he killed some of them,
the rest began to seek him;
they repented and searched for God.
They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God, their Redeemer.
But they deceived him with their mouths,
they lied to him with their tongues,
their hearts were insincere toward him,
and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

NLTNew Living Translation
When God began killing them,
they finally sought him.
They repented and took God seriously.
Then they remembered that God was their rock,
that God Most High was their redeemer.
But all they gave him was lip service;
they lied to him with their tongues.
Their hearts were not loyal to him.
They did not keep his covenant.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
When he killed some of them, then they sought him,
and repented and earnestly sought God.
And they remembered that God was their rock,
and God Most High their redeemer.
But they enticed him with their mouth
and lied to him with their tongue.
For their heart was not steadfast with him,
nor were they faithful to his covenant.

KJV 1900King James Version
When he slew them, then they sought him:
And they returned and inquired early after God.
And they remembered that God was their rock,
And the high God their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,
And they lied unto him with their tongues.
For their heart was not right with him,
Neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
