Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Jehovah hath not done all this.

Were it not² that¹ I fearedª° the wrathª of the enemy,ª° lest¹ their adversariesª should behave themselves strangely,ª° [and] lest¹ they should say,ª° Our handª [is] high,ª° and the LORDª hath not¹ doneª° all¹ this.¹

Were it not² that¹ I fearedª° the wrathª of the enemie,ª° lest¹ their aduersariesª should behaue themselues strangely,ª° [and] lest¹ they should say,ª° Our handeª is high,ª° and the LORDª hath not¹ doneª° all¹ this.¹

Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.

Were it not² that¹ I fearedª° the wrathª of the enemy,ª° lest¹ their adversariesª should behave themselves strangely,ª° [and] lest¹ they should say,ª° Our handª [is] high,ª° and Yähwè יָהוֶהª hath not¹ doneª° all¹ this.¹
