21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,

so that they die without wisdom?’

21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them,

do they not die, and that without wisdom?’

21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? They die, even without wisdom.

21 Their tent-cords are pulled and the tent collapses,

and they die in ignorance.

21 Does not their own excellence go away?

They die, even without wisdom.’

21 The ropes of their tents are pulled up,

and they die without wisdom.’

21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?

They die, and that without wisdom.

21 Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they die, and without wisdom.

21 Haven’t the ropes of their tent been loosened? 

Won’t they die without wisdom? 

21 Are their tent cords not pulled up?

They die without wisdom.

21 Their tent-cord is plucked up within them,

and they die devoid of wisdom.’

21 Is not their tent cord pulled up within them?

They die, but not in wisdom.’

21 Like a tent that falls down, they get weak.

They die because they didn’t follow God’s wisdom.’ ”
