Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
World English Bible (WEB)
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondservants and bondmaids, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”
Strong's King James
For we are sold{H4376}{(H8738)}, I and my people{H5971}, to be destroyed{H8045}{(H8687)}, to be slain{H2026}{(H8800)}, and to perish{H6}{(H8763)}. But if{H432} we had been sold{H4376}{(H8738)} for bondmen{H5650} and bondwomen{H8198}, I had held my tongue{H2790}{(H8689)}, although the enemy{H6862} could not countervail{H7737}{(H8802)} the king's{H4428} damage{H5143}.
The F.O.G *
For we have been sold, I and my people to be exterminated, to be killed and to perish. Now if we were only sold as slave men and women, I would have remained silent. For the enemy couldn't compensate for the damage to the king."
The F.O.G Message *
Young's Literal Translation
for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for men-servants and for maid-servants we had been sold I had kept silent—but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king.’
