A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”

And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
