Next

¶ My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

My bowels {H4578}, my bowels {H4578}! I am pained {H2342}{H3176} at my very {H7023} heart {H3820}; my heart {H3820} maketh a noise {H1993} in me; I cannot hold my peace {H2790}, because thou hast heard {H8085}, O my soul {H5315}, the sound {H6963} of the trumpet {H7782}, the alarm {H8643} of war {H4421}.

My guts! My guts! I'm writhing in pain! My heart! It beats wildly - I can't stay still! - because I have heard the shofar sound; it's the call to war.

My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain! Oh, the pain in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I cannot be silent. For I have heard the sound of the horn, the alarm of battle.

My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
