Job 36:12

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

But if they obey {H8085} not, they shall perish {H5674} by the sword {H7973}, and they shall die {H1478} without knowledge {H1847}.

But if they don't pay attention, they perish by the sword and die without learning their lesson.

But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.
