然而，在他能明辨是非之前，你所惧怕的这二王的国土必荒废。

因为在这孩子晓得弃恶择善之先，你所畏惧的那两个王之地，早就被弃绝了。

因为在这孩子知道弃恶择善之前，你所惧怕的那两个王的土地必被遗弃。

因為在這孩子還不曉得棄惡擇善之先，你所憎惡的那二王之地必致見棄。

然而，在他能明辨是非之前，你所懼怕的這二王的國土必荒廢。

因為在這孩子曉得棄惡擇善之先，你所畏懼的那兩個王之地，早就被棄絕了。

因為在這孩子知道棄惡擇善之前，你所懼怕的那兩個王的土地必被遺棄。

蓋此子未知棄惡擇善之先、爾所疾之二王、其國為墟、

當其年華未富、明睿未開之日、爾所懼之二王、其國必為墟、

蓋此子尚未明棄惡擇善之先、爾所懼之二王、其國必荒蕪、

for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.

Even before then, the lands of the two kings you fear will be ruined.

For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

For before the child is that old, the lands of the two kings you fear so much will both be deserted.

For before the boy knows to reject what is bad and choose what is good, the land of the two kings you dread will be abandoned.

For before the boy knows enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned.

For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken.

For before the boy knows to reject what is bad and choose what is good, the land of the two kings you dread will be abandoned.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

for before the child knows how to cry out,‘ My father’ or‘ My mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”

The king of Assyria responded favorably to his request; he attacked Damascus and captured it. He deported the people to Kir and executed Rezin.

This is what the LORD says:“ Because Damascus has committed three crimes– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They ripped through Gilead like threshing sledges with iron teeth.So I will set Hazael’s house on fire; fire will consume Ben Hadad’s fortresses.I will break the bar on the gate of Damascus.
