In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
In that thou lovest {H157} thine enemies {H8130}, and hatest {H8130} thy friends {H157}. For thou hast declared {H5046} this day {H3117}, that thou regardest neither princes {H8269} nor servants {H5650}: for this day {H3117} I perceive {H3045}, that if {H3863} Absalom {H53} had lived {H2416}, and all we had died {H4191} this day {H3117}, then it had pleased thee well {H3477}{H5869}.
But you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. Today you said that princes and servants mean nothing to you - for I can see today that it would have pleased you more if Avshalom had lived today, and we had all died!
You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! For you have made it clear today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that princes and servants are nought unto thee: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
