彼眾礪舌如刃、以苦語為矢、而擬準兮、

他们磨舌如刀，发出苦毒的言语，好像比准了的箭，

他们磨舌如刀，发出苦毒的言语，好像瞄准了的箭，

他们磨舌如刀，发出苦毒的言语，好像瞄准了的箭，

他们舌头锋利如刀，言语恶毒如箭穿心。

他们磨快自己的舌头，如同刀剑；他们吐出恶毒的言语，好像利箭，

他们磨快自己的舌头，如同刀剑；他们发出苦毒的话语，好像弦上的箭，

他們磨舌如刀，發出苦毒的言語，好像比準了的箭，

他們磨舌如刀，發出苦毒的言語，好像瞄準了的箭，

他們磨舌如刀，發出苦毒的言語，好像瞄準了的箭，

他們舌頭鋒利如刀，言語惡毒如箭穿心。

他們磨快自己的舌頭，如同刀劍；他們吐出惡毒的言語，好像利箭，

他們使舌頭尖銳如刀，比準了他們的箭，就是苦毒的話，

他們磨快自己的舌頭，如同刀劍；他們發出苦毒的話語，好像弦上的箭，

彼世人兮、礪其舌鋒、猶之利刃、出其語剌、無異發矢兮、

彼眾礪其舌鋒、猶如利刃、毒言出口、如箭離弦、

群小紛紜。橫行無度。祈主保我。莫為所誣。

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.

They make their tongues like sharp swords. They aim their mean words like deadly arrows.

who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows.

who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,

Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,

Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows— bitter words,

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,

Who whet their tongue like a sword,[ and] bend[ their bows to shoot] their arrows,[ even] bitter words:

They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

願彼消融、如水急流、如射擬準、而折其矢兮、

浮躁之言、如鋒刃之刺、智者之舌、有療疾之能、

我處獅中、與火性之世人共臥、其齒為戈矢、其舌為利刃兮、

舌乃火、於百體中為不義之寰區、玷污一身、爇畢生之行動、其火乃由地獄也、蓋凡禽獸昆蟲鱗介皆可制、且已為人制、惟舌莫能制、乃不息之惡、充以死毒焉、

惡者彎弓、注矢於弦、暗射心正之人、

凡為攻爾所製之器、必不利達、凡為鞫爾而動之舌、爾必罪之、斯為耶和華諸僕之益、亦為其義、乃本乎我、耶和華言之矣、

彼彎舌如弓、以發誑言、在國中為強大、而不行信實、行惡有加無已、而不我識、耶和華言之矣、

有人牙如劍、齒如刀、欲盡噬世上之困苦者、及人間之窮乏者、○
