ESVEnglish Standard Version

Then your covenant with death will be annulled,

and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;

when the overwhelming scourge passes through,

you will be beaten down by it.

As often as it passes through it will take you;

for morning by morning it will pass through,

by day and by night;

and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Your covenant with death will be annulled;

your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.

When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,

you will be beaten down by it.

As often as it comes it will carry you away;

morning after morning, by day and by night,

it will sweep through.”

The understanding of this message

will bring sheer terror.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Your covenant with Death will be dissolved,

and your agreement with Sheol will not last.

When the overwhelming catastrophe passes through,

you will be trampled.

Every time it passes through,

it will carry you away;

it will pass through every morning—

every day and every night.

Only terror will cause you

to understand the message.

NLTNew Living Translation

I will cancel the bargain you made to cheat death,

and I will overturn your deal to dodge the grave.

When the terrible enemy sweeps through,

you will be trampled into the ground.

Again and again that flood will come,

morning after morning,

day and night,

until you are carried away.”

This message will bring terror to your people.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And your covenant with death will be annulled,

and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;

you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through.

As often as it passes through, it will take you,

for morning by morning it will pass through,

in the day and in the night,

and understanding the message will be only terror.”

KJV 1900King James Version

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,

And your agreement with hell shall not stand;

When the overflowing scourge shall pass through,

Then ye shall be trodden down by it.

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you:

For morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night:

And it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
