Now that God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they throw off restraint in my presence.

松开他们的绳索苦待我，在我面前脱去辔头。

上帝松开我的弓弦使我受苦，他们就在我面前脱去辔头。

神松开我的弓弦使我受苦，他们就在我面前脱去辔头。

因为上帝苦待我，使我毫无力量，他们才在我面前肆无忌惮。

因为神把我的弓弦松开，叫我受苦，他们就在我面前任意妄为（“任意妄为”直译是“解开辔头”）。

鬆開他們的繩索苦待我，在我面前脫去轡頭。

上帝鬆開我的弓弦使我受苦，他們就在我面前脫去轡頭。

神鬆開我的弓弦使我受苦，他們就在我面前脫去轡頭。

因為上帝苦待我，使我毫無力量，他們才在我面前肆無忌憚。

因為神把我的弓弦鬆開，叫我受苦，他們就在我面前任意妄為（“任意妄為”直譯是“解開轡頭”）。

上帝既鬆開我的弓弦來挫折我，他們就在我面前脫去轡頭而放縱。

蓋彼釋其繩索、加我以苦、脫其羈勒、在於我前、

不自檢束、無所不為、以困苦加諸我。

不自約束、加我以苦、於我前縱意而行、或作天主鬆我之筋彼亦於我前縱意而行

God has made my body weak. It’s like a tent that has fallen down. So those children do what they want to in front of me.

Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.

For God has cut my bowstring. He has humbled me, so they have thrown off all restraint.

Because God has loosened my bowstring and oppressed me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.

Because He has undone my bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off the bridle before me.

Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off restraint before me.

For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.

Because God has loosened my bowstring and oppressed me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.

Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

Because God has untied my tent cord and afflicted me, people throw off all restraint in my presence.

For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.

Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped himand said,“ Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”

As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the same clan as Saul’s family came out from there. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he cursed as he came out.He pelted David and all the king’s officials with stones, though all the troops and the special guard were on David’s right and left.As he cursed, Shimei said,“ Get out, get out, you murderer, you scoundrel!The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”

He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist.

He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.

Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their headsand saying,“ You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.“ He saved others,” they said,“ but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said,‘ I am the Son of God.’”In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.

I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The Lord has afflicted me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.”

They sneer at me and say,“ Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it.”
