If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
World English Bible (WEB)
If we say{H559}{(H8804)}, We will enter{H935}{(H8799)} into the city{H5892}, then the famine{H7458} is in the city{H5892}, and we shall die{H4191}{(H8804)} there: and if we sit still{H3427}{(H8804)} here, we die{H4191}{(H8804)} also. Now therefore come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us fall{H5307}{(H8799)} unto the host{H4264} of the Syrians{H758}: if they save us alive{H2421}{(H8762)}, we shall live{H2421}{(H8799)}; and if they kill{H4191}{(H8686)} us, we shall but die{H4191}{(H8804)}.
Strong's King James
if we have said, We go in to the city, then the famine is in the city, and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we fall unto the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.’
