10 Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,

prisoners suffering in iron chains,

11 because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the plans of the Most High.

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the most High:

10 Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom,

imprisoned in iron chains of misery.

11 They rebelled against the words of God,

scorning the counsel of the Most High.

10 Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Bound in affliction and irons—

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,

And despised the counsel of the Most High,

10 Some sat in gloom and darkness;

they were prisoners suffering in chains.

11 They had turned against the words of God

and had refused the advice of God Most High.

10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Being bound in affliction and iron,

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,

And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

10 Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron, 11 Because they had rebelled against the words of •God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; …

10 Those who lived in the dark, in death’s shadow 

were prisoners in misery. 

They were held in iron chains 

11 because they had rebelled against God’s words 

and had despised the advice given by the Most High. 

10 Others sat in darkness and gloom —

prisoners in cruel chains —

11 because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the counsel of the Most High.

10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom,

prisoners in misery and in irons,

11 for they had rebelled against the words of God,

and spurned the counsel of the Most High.

10 Those who sat in darkness and gloom,

prisoners of misery and iron—

11 because they rebelled against the words of God

and spurned the counsel of the Most High,

10 Others lived in the deepest darkness.

They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.

11 That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the words of God.

They had refused to follow the advice of the Most High God.

10 There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Prisoners in misery and chains,

11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God

And spurned the counsel of the Most High.
