2 Samuel 19:35

I [am] this day fourscore years old: [and] can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

I am this day {H3117} fourscore {H8084} years {H8141} old {H1121}: and can I discern {H3045} between good {H2896} and evil {H7451}? can thy servant {H5650} taste {H2938} what {H834} I eat {H398} or what {H834} I drink {H8354}? can I hear {H8085} any more the voice {H6963} of singing men {H7891} and singing women {H7891}? wherefore then should thy servant {H5650} be yet a burden {H4853} unto my lord {H113} the king {H4428}?

I am now eighty years old. Can I tell good from bad? Can your servant even taste what he eats or drinks? Can I hear the voice of men and women singing any more? Why should your servant burden my lord the king?

I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

I am this day fourscore years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
