18 He takes off the shackles put on by kings

and ties a loincloth around their waist.

18 He looses the bonds of kings

and binds a waistcloth on their hips.

18 He looseth the bond of kings,

And girdeth their loins with a girdle.

18 He removes the royal robe of kings.

They are led away with ropes around their waist.

18 He loosens the bonds of kings,

And binds their waist with a belt.

18 He takes off chains that kings put on

and puts a garment on their bodies.

18 He looseth the bond of kings,

And he bindeth their loins with a girdle.

18 He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter;

18 He loosens kings’ belts 

and strips them of their pants. 

18 He releases the bonds put on by kings

and fastens a belt around their waists.

18 He looses the sash of kings,

and binds a waistcloth on their loins.

18 He loosens the fetters of kings,

and he binds a loincloth on their loins.

18 “He loosens the bond of kings

And binds their loins with a girdle.
