3 O you who put far away the day of disaster

and bring near the seat of violence?

3 Ye that put far away the evil day,

And cause the seat of violence to come near;

3 You push away every thought of coming disaster,

but your actions only bring the day of judgment closer.

3 Woe to you who put far off the day of doom,

Who cause the seat of violence to come near;

3 You put off the day of punishment,

but you bring near the day when you can do evil to others.

3 —ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

3 How horrible it will be for those who think that a day of disaster is far away. 

They bring the reign of violence closer. 

3 You dismiss any thought of the evil day

and bring in a reign of violence.

3 O you that put far away the evil day,

and bring near a reign of violence?

3 You that put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of violence!

3 You are trying to avoid the time

when trouble will come.

But you are only bringing closer

the Assyrian rule of terror.

3 Do you put off the day of calamity,

And would you bring near the seat of violence?
