Genesis 34:30

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

And Jacob {H3290} said {H559} to Simeon {H8095} and Levi {H3878}, Ye have troubled {H5916} me to make me to stink {H887} among the inhabitants {H3427} of the land {H776}, among the Canaanites {H3669} and the Perizzites {H6522}: and I being few {H4962} in number {H4557}, they shall gather themselves together {H622} against me, and slay me {H5221}; and I shall be destroyed {H8045}, I and my house {H1004}.

But Ya'akov said to Shim'on and Levi, "You have caused me trouble by making me stink in the opinion of the local inhabitants, the Kena'ani and the P'rizi. Since I don't have many people, they'll align themselves together against me and attack me; and I will be destroyed, I and my household."

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
