15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”

I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

15 If I say, I will speak thus;

Behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

15 If I had really spoken this way to others,

I would have been a traitor to your people.

15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”

Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

15 God, if I had decided to talk like this,

I would have let your people down.

15 If I had said, I will speak thus;

Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

15 If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children.

15 If I had said, “I will continue to talk like that,” 

I would have betrayed God’s people. 

15 If I had decided to say these things aloud,

I would have betrayed Your people.

15 If I had said, “I will talk on in this way,”

I would have been untrue to the circle of your children.

15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”

behold, I would have acted treacherously

against your children’s generation.

15 What if I had said, “I will speak as evil people do”?

Then I wouldn’t have been faithful to God’s children.

15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”

Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.
