Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.

And he--he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For--to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.

But he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; for it is in his heart to extirpate and cut off nations not a few.
