Lord, you are like a shield that keeps us safe. Don’t kill my enemies all at once. If you do, my people will forget about it. Use your power to pull my enemies up by the roots like weeds. Destroy them.

勿殺戮之、免我民遺忘之、我主我盾歟、以爾之力、使彼流離傾覆兮、

勿速翦滅、恐我民頓忘外患、求主護予、展爾巨能、使敵流離、終至隕亡兮、

莫殺戮之、恐我民遂忘、惟求護衛我之主、以大能使之流離失所、使之降為卑微、

主必迎予以仁慈兮。群兇其如予何。

But do not kill them, Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might uproot them and bring them down.

Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield!

Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons; stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees, O Lord our shield.

Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget. By your power, make them homeless wanderers and bring them down, Lord, our shield.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power and bring them down, Lord, our shield.

Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget. By Your power, make them homeless wanderers and bring them down, Lord, our shield.

Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Do not strike them dead suddenly, because then my people might forget the lesson. Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down, O Lord who shields us!

Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

Lord, you are like a shield that keeps me safe. You bring me honor. You help me win the battle.

The Lord will drive you out of your land. He will scatter you among the nations. Only a few of you will remain alive there.

You handed us over to be eaten up like sheep. You have scattered us among the nations.

God, may you be pleased with your anointed king. You appointed him to be like a shield that keeps us safe.

He promised he would scatter their children’s children among the nations. He would make them die in other lands.

He has done mighty things with his powerful arm. He has scattered those who are proud in their deepest thoughts.He has brought down rulers from their thrones. But he has lifted up people who are not considered important.

I will scatter you among the nations. I will pull out my sword and hunt you down. Your land and your cities will be completely destroyed.

So God will destroy you forever. He will grab you and pluck you from your tent. He will remove you from this life.

Then the Lord will scatter you among all the nations. He’ll spread you around from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship statues of gods made out of wood and stone. You and your people of long ago hadn’t known anything about those gods.

“ They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the nations. I will send them to other countries.But I will spare a few of them. I will save them from war, hunger and plague. In those countries they will admit they have done all kinds of evil things. I hate those things. They will know that I am the Lord.”

But some people will be left alive. Some children will be brought out of the city. They will come to you. You will see how they act and the way they live. And you will be comforted in spite of all the trouble I brought on Jerusalem.You will be comforted when you see how they act and the way they live. Then you will know that I did not do anything there without a reason,” announces the Lord and King.

People who are still alive know they’ll die. But those who have died don’t know anything. They don’t receive any more rewards. And even their name is forgotten.

In those days, people will look for a way to die but won’t find it. They will want to die, but death will escape them.

When you farm the land, it will not produce its crops for you anymore. You will be a restless person who wanders around on the earth.”Cain said to the Lord,“ You are punishing me more than I can take.Today you are driving me away from the land. I will be hidden from you. I’ll be a restless person who wanders around on the earth. Anyone who finds me will kill me.”But the Lord said to him,“ No. Anyone who kills you will be paid back seven times.” The Lord put a mark on Cain. Then anyone who found him wouldn’t kill him.

Those who are in Judea should then escape to the mountains. Those in the city should get out. Those in the country should not enter the city.

But Adoni- Bezek ran away. The men of Judah chased him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and big toes.Adoni- Bezek said,“ I cut off the thumbs and big toes of 70 kings. I made them pick up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.” The men of Judah brought Adoni- Bezek to Jerusalem. That’s where he died.

When all that happens, the Lord your God will bless you with great success again. He will be very kind to you. He’ll bring you back from all the nations where he scattered you.Suppose you have been forced to go away to the farthest land on earth. The Lord your God will bring you back even from there.

Look at proud people and make them humble. Crush evil people right where they are.

Don’t be careless. Instead, be very careful. Don’t forget the things your eyes have seen. As long as you live, don’t let them slip from your mind. Teach them to your children and their children after them.

The Lord God is like the sun that gives us light. He is like a shield that keeps us safe. The Lord blesses us with favor and honor. He doesn’t hold back anything good from those whose lives are without blame.
