12 Even if they rear children,

I will bereave them of every one.

Woe to them

when I turn away from them!

12 Even if they bring up children,

I will bereave them till none is left.

Woe to them

when I depart from them!

12 Though they bring up their children,

Yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left:

Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

12 Even if you do have children who grow up,

I will take them from you.

It will be a terrible day when I turn away

and leave you alone.

12 Though they bring up their children,

Yet I will bereave them to the last man.

Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!

12 But even if the Israelites bring up children,

I will take them all away.

How terrible it will be for them

when I go away from them!

12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

12 For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that not a man remain: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!

12 Even if they bring up children, 

I will take those children away before they grow up. 

Yes, how horrible it will be for them when I leave them. 

12 Even if they raise children,

I will bereave them of each one.

Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!

12 Even if they bring up children,

I will bereave them until no one is left.

Woe to them indeed

when I depart from them!

12 Even though they bring up their children,

I will bereave them before maturity.

Woe to them indeed,

when I depart from them!

12 But suppose they do have children.

Then I will kill every one of them.

How terrible it will be for them

when I turn away from them!”
