Thomson 1808

For my part I am for observing strictly the customs of Israel, which tend to peace; but thou art seeking to destroy a city—a mother city in Israel. Why wouldst thou swallow up an inheritance of the Lord?

Brenton 1851

I am a peaceable one of the strong ones in Israel; but thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother-city in Israel: why dost thou seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?

Greek · Brenton

Ἐγώ εἰμι εἰρηνικὰ τῶν στηριγμάτων Ἰσραήλ· σὺ δὲ ζητεῖς θανατῶσαι πόλιν καὶ μητρόπολιν ἐν Ἰσραήλ· ἱνατί καταποντίζεις κληρονομίαν Κυρίου;
