Because you have raged against me

and your complacency has come to my ears,

I will put my hook in your nose

and my bit in your mouth,

and I will turn you back on the way

by which you came.’

Because you rage against me

and because your insolence has reached my ears,

I will put my hook in your nose

and my bit in your mouth,

and I will make you return

by the way you came.

Because your raging against me

and your arrogance have reached my ears,

I will put my hook in your nose

and my bit in your mouth;

I will make you go back

the way you came.

And because of your raging against me

and your arrogance, which I have heard for myself,

I will put my hook in your nose

and my bit in your mouth.

I will make you return

by the same road on which you came.”

Because you were enraged against me,

and your noise has come up to my ears,

I will put my hook in your nose

and my bridle on your lips,

and I will turn you back

on the way by which you came.

Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears,

Therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips,

And I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
