17 Nevertheless, my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or make a full end of them in the wilderness.

17 Nevertheless, I took pity on them and held back from destroying them in the wilderness.

17 But I had pity on them. I did not destroy them or put an end to them in the desert.

17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them, and I destroyed them not, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

17 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or make an end of them in the wilderness.

17 But my eye took pity on them by not destroying them, and I did not completely destroy them in the desert.
