In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

I gave your children blows to no purpose; they got no good from training: your sword has been the destruction of your prophets, like a death-giving lion.

Εις ματην επαταξα τα τεκνα σας· δεν εδεχθησαν διορθωσιν· η μαχαιρα σας κατεφαγε τους προφητας σας ως λεων εξολοθρευων.

In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
