24 From our youth shameful gods have consumed

the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—

their flocks and herds,

their sons and daughters.

24 “But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our fathers labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

24 From childhood we have watched

as everything our ancestors worked for—

their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters—

was squandered on a delusion.

24 Since our youth, shameful gods have eaten up in sacrifice

everything our ancestors worked for—

their flocks and herds,

their sons and daughters.

24 But the shameful thing hath devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

24 But shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

24 Ever since we were young, 

the shameful worship ⸤of Baal⸥ 

has taken everything our ancestors worked for, 

their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters. 

24 From the time of our youth

the shameful one has consumed

what our fathers have worked for—

their flocks and their herds,

their sons and their daughters.

24 “But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our ancestors had labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

24 But the shameful thing has devoured

the labor of our ancestors from our youth,

their flocks, and their cattle,

their sons and their daughters.

24 From our earliest years shameful gods have eaten up

everything our people worked for.

They have eaten up our flocks and herds.

They’ve destroyed our sons and daughters.

24 “But the shameful thing has consumed the labor of our fathers since our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
