The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.

The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.

Ο καλητερος αυτων ειναι ως ακανθα· ο ευθυς οξυτερος φραγμου ακανθωδους· η ημερα των φυλακων σου, η επισκεψις σου εφθασε· τωρα θελει εισθαι η αμηχανια αυτων.

The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
