And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye contend for Baal? or will ye save him? he that will contend for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath broken down his altar.

But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of the pulling down of his altar.

Και ειπεν ο Ιωας προς παντας τους εξανισταμενους εναντιον αυτου, Μηπως σεις θελετε διεκδικησει υπερ του Βααλ; η σεις θελετε σωσει αυτον; οστις διεκδικηση υπερ αυτου θελει θανατωθη εως πρωιας· εαν ουτος ηναι Θεος, ας διεκδικηση υπερ εαυτου, διοτι εκρημνισαν τον βωμον αυτου.

And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
