For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, they that watch for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

Διοτι ηκουσα υβριν παρα πολλων· τρομος πανταχοθεν· Κατηγορησατε, λεγουσι, και θελομεν κατηγορησει αυτον. Παντες οι ειρηνευοντες μετ' εμου παρεφυλαττον το προσκομμα μου, λεγοντες, Ισως δελεασθη, και θελομεν υπερισχυσει εναντιον αυτου και εκδικηθη κατ' αυτου.

For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

For I have heard the defaming of many, “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
