KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

20 H7451 Shall evil H7999 be recompensed [H8792] H2896 for good H3738 ? for they have digged [H8804] H7745 a pit H5315 for my soul H2142 . Remember [H8798] H5975 that I stood [H8800] H6440 before H1696 thee to speak [H8763] H2896 good H7725 for them, and to turn away [H8687] H2534 thy wrath from them.

21 H5414 Therefore deliver up [H8798] H1121 their children H7458 to the famine H5064 , and pour out [H8685] H3027 their blood by the force H2719 of the sword H802 ; and let their wives H7909 be bereaved H490 of their children, and be widows H582 ; and let their men H2026 be put [H8803] H4194 to death H970 ; let their young men H5221 be slain [H8716] H2719 by the sword H4421 in battle.

22 H2201 Let a cry H8085 be heard [H8735] H1004 from their houses H935 , when thou shalt bring [H8686] H1416 a troop H6597 suddenly H3738 upon them: for they have digged [H8804] H7745 a pit [H8675] H7882 H3920 to take [H8800] H2934 me, and hid [H8804] H6341 snares H7272 for my feet.

23 H3068 Yet, LORD H3045 , thou knowest [H8804] H6098 all their counsel H4194 against me to slay H3722 me : forgive [H8762] H5771 not their iniquity H4229 , neither blot out [H8686] H2403 their sin H6440 from thy sight H3782 , but let them be overthrown [H8716] H6440 before H6213 thee; deal [H8798] H6256 thus with them in the time H639 of thine anger.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy fury from them. ²¹ Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, [and] their young men smitten of the sword in battle. ²² Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. ²³ Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me; forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight: but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thou with them in the time of thine anger.
