Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
Multiplied are their griefs, Who have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
