11You divided the sea before them, and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into raging waters.
“And you divided the sea before them so that they went through the midst of the sea on dry land and you cast their pursuers into the depths as a stone into mighty waters.”

23You multiplied their descendants like the stars of heaven and brought them to the land You had told their fathers to enter and possess.
“Their children also multiplied thou as the stars of heaven and broughtest them into the land concerning which thou hast promised to their fathers that they should go in and to possess it.”

“So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduest before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them unto their hands with their kings and the people of the land, that they might do with them…”

26But they were disobedient and rebelled against You; they flung Your law behind their backs. They killed Your prophets, who had admonished them to return to You. They committed terrible blasphemies.
“They were disobedient and rebelled against you and cast your law behind their back and killed your prophets who had warned them in order to turn them back to you, and they committed great blasphemies.”
“Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.”
“Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against you and cast your law behind their back and killed your prophets who had warned them in order to turn them back to you and they committed great blasphemies.”
“Nevertheless, they were disobedient verse 26 and rebelled against thee and cast our law behind their backs and they slew thy prophets. Which testified against them to turn them to thee and they wrought great provocations.”
27So You delivered them into the hands of enemies who oppressed them, and in their time of distress they cried out to You. From heaven You heard them, and in Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who saved them from the hands of their enemies.
“Therefore, you gave them into the hand of their enemies who made them suffer. And in the time of their suffering, they cried out to you, and you heard them from heaven. And according to your great mercies, you gave them saviors…”

“Therefore thou delivers them into the hand of the enemies who vexed them and in the time of their trouble when they cried unto thee Thou heardest them from heaven and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviors who…”
28But as soon as they had rest, they again did evil in Your sight. So You abandoned them to the hands of their enemies, who had dominion over them. When they cried out to You again, You heard from heaven, and You delivered them many times in Your compassion.
“but after they had rest, they did evil again before you and you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies so that they had dominion over them. Yet, when they turned and cried to you, you heard from heaven and many times you…”
“But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee. Therefore thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they returned and cried unto thee, thou hurtest them from heaven,…”
“But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee. Therefore left thou them in the land of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they returned and cried unto thee, thou hurtest them from heaven, and…”
29You admonished them to turn back to Your law, but they were arrogant and disobeyed Your commandments. They sinned against Your ordinances, by which a man will live if he practices them. They stubbornly shrugged their shoulders; they stiffened their necks and would not obey.
“and you warned them in order to turn them back to your law, yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments but sinned against your rules which if a person does them, he shall live by them and turn a stubborn…”
30You were patient with them for many years, and Your Spirit admonished them through Your prophets. Yet they would not listen, so You gave them into the hands of the neighboring peoples.
“Many years you bore with them and warned them by your spirit through your prophets, yet they would not give ear. Therefore, you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.”
“many years, they say, you, God, bore with them and warned them by your spirit through your prophets, yet they would not give ear. Therefore, you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the land.”
31But in Your great compassion, You did not put an end to them; nor did You forsake them, for You are a gracious and compassionate God.
“Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them for your, or forsake them for you are a gracious and a merciful God.”
“in your great mercies, you did not make an end of them or forsake them for you are a gracious and merciful God.”
“Nevertheless, in your great mercies, you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you're a gracious and merciful God.”
32So now, our God, the great and mighty and awesome God who keeps His gracious covenant, do not view lightly all the hardship that has come upon us, and upon our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.
“Now therefore our God, the great, the mighty, the terrible God, who keepeth covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our…”
33You are just in all that has befallen us, because You have acted faithfully, while we have acted wickedly.
“Yet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us for you have dealt faithfully and we have acted wickedly.”
“Yet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us, for you have dealt faithfully, and we have acted wickedly.”
34Our kings and leaders and priests and fathers did not obey Your law or listen to Your commandments and warnings that You gave them.
“Our kings, our princes, our priests and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them”
35For even while they were in their kingdom, with the abundant goodness that You had given them, and in the spacious and fertile land that You had set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways.
“even in their own kingdom, enjoying your great goodness that you gave them. And in the large and rich land that you set before them, they did not serve you or turn from their wicked works.”
36So here we are today as slaves in the land You gave our fathers to enjoy its fruit and goodness— here we are as slaves!
“Behold, we are slaves this day in the land that you gave to our fathers to enjoy its fruits and its good gifts. Behold, we are slaves”
“we are slaves this day in the land that you gave to our fathers to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts. Behold, we are slaves”
“behold we are servants this day for the land that you gave unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof behold we are servants in it”
“Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof. Behold, we are servants in it.”
“Behold, we are slaves today. In the land that you gave to our fathers to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts, behold, we are slaves.”
37Its abundant harvest goes to the kings You have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies and our livestock as they please. We are in great distress.
“and its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and over our livestock as they please, and we are in great distress.”
“and it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou has set over us because of our sin also they have dominion over our bodies and over our cattle and over our and at their pleasure and we are in great distress.”
“and its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and over our livestock as they please and we are in great distress.”
“its abundant produce. Our produce is for the king whom thou has set over us because of our sin. They also rule over our bodies and over our cattle as they please. So we are in great distress.”
“And its rich yield goes to the kings whom you've set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and even over our livestock as they please, and we are in great distress”
38In view of all this, we make a binding agreement, putting it in writing and sealing it with the names of our leaders, Levites, and priests."
“Because of all this, we make a firm covenant in writing on the sealed document are the names of our princes, our Levites and our priests.”
“Because of all this, we make a firm covenant in writing. On the sealed document are the names of our princes, our Levites, and our priests.”
“Now because of all this we are making an agreement and writing. And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders our Levites and our priests.”
