He will get no joy from the profits of his business (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein. ASV: That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice. BBE: He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading. DBY: That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice therein. JPS: That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice. WBS: That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice in it. WEB: That for which he labored he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down. According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice. YLT: He is giving back [what] he laboured for, And doth not consume [it]; As a bulwark [is] his exchange, and he exults not. | |
