For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

For the Amalekites {H6003} and the Canaanites {H3669} are there before {H6440} you, and ye shall fall {H5307} by the sword {H2719}: because ye are turned {H7725} away {H310} from the LORD {H3068}, therefore the LORD {H3068} will not be with you.

The 'Amalekim and the Kena'anim are there ahead of you, and you will be struck down by the sword. The reason will be that you have turned away from following ADONAI, so that ADONAI won't be with you."

For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”

For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you.
