Behold, He put no trust in His servants, and His angels He charged with folly:
Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants; And his angels he chargeth with folly:
‘God puts no trust or confidence, even in His [heavenly] servants, And He charges His angels with error.
Even in His [heavenly] servants He puts no trust or confidence, and His angels He charges with folly and error—
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
If God puts no trust in his servants and he charges his angels with foolishness,
If God puts no trust in his servants and he charges his angels with foolishness,
If he doesn’t trust his servants and levels a charge against his messengers,
[God] doesn’t trust his own servants, he finds fault even with his angels;
He finds fault with his servants and even with his angels.
Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly:
Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:
Look, God cannot even trust his heavenly servants. He sees faults even in his angels.
God knows that even his angels make mistakes. They may do foolish things.
If God does not trust his own servants, if he charges his messengers with error,
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
God does not trust his ·angels [L servants]; he blames ·them [L angels] for mistakes.
Behold, he found no steadfastness in his servants, and laid folly upon his Angels.
“You see, God doesn’t trust his own servants, and he accuses his angels of making mistakes.
God does not trust his heavenly servants; he finds fault even with his angels.
If God puts no trust in His servants and He charges His angels with foolishness,
God does not trust his servants. He even blames his angels for mistakes.
“Indeed, since he doesn’t trust his servants, since he charges his angels with error,
Behold, he put no trust in his slaves, and his angels he charged with folly.
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
He puts no trust even in His slaves; And against His angels He charges error.
Look, he does not trust in his servants and he charges his angels with error.
“If God cannot trust his own messengers (for even angels make mistakes), how much less men made of dust, who are crushed to death as easily as moths!
“‘How can mere mortals be more righteous than God? How can humans be purer than their Creator? Why, God doesn’t even trust his own servants, doesn’t even cheer his angels, So how much less these bodies composed of mud, fragile as moths? These bodies of ours are here today and gone tomorrow, and no one even notices—gone without a trace. When the tent stakes are ripped up, the tent collapses— we die and are never the wiser for having lived.’”
He does not trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error;
“You see, Eloah doesn’t trust his own servants, and he accuses his angels of making mistakes.
Look, he puts no trust in his servants, and even with his messengers he finds fault.
He puts no trust even in His servants; And He accuses His angels of error.
‘He puts no trust even in His servants; And against His angels He charges error.
God places no trust in his servants, and he finds fault even with his angels.
God does not trust his angels; he blames them for mistakes.
If God puts no trust in his servants and attributes folly to his angels,
God doesn’t trust those who serve him. He even brings charges against his angels.
If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,
If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,
If He puts no trust in His servants, If He charges His angels with error,
He puts no trust even in His servants. He finds mistakes among His angels.
“If God does not trust his own angels and has charged his messengers with foolishness,
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
Behold, He puts no trust in His avadim, and His malachim (angels) He charged with toholah (error).
‘Behold, he found no steadfastness in his servants, and laid folly upon his angels.
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
If He puts no trust in His servants and accuses His angels of error,
If God is unsure of His own servants, and in His holy attendants He finds fault,
Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
Lo! they that serve him be not steadfast; and he hath found shrewdness in his angels. (Lo! they who serve him be not trustworthy; and he hath found depravity even in his angels.)
Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'
