But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆绑，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他們若被鎖鍊捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鏈捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鏈捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鏈捆綁，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鍊捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鍊捆鎖着，若被苦難的繩索纏住，

若繫於縲絏、拘於困苦之索、

But if people are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,

But some people are held by chains. Their pain ties them up like ropes.

And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction,

If they are bound in chains and caught up in a web of trouble,

If people are bound with chains and trapped by the cords of affliction,

And if they are bound in shackles, And are caught in the snares of misery,

And if they are bound in fetters, Held in the cords of affliction,

And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of affliction;

If people are bound with chains and trapped by the cords of affliction,

And if[ they be] bound in fetters,[ and] be holden in cords of affliction;

If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,

They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains,

The wicked will be captured by his own iniquities, and he will be held by the cords of his own sin.

The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me.

The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.

And you put my feet in the stocks and you watch all my movements; you put marks on the soles of my feet.

know then that God has wronged me and encircled me with his net.
