For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt.
They tell lies under oath and expect no punishment, because the idols they put their trust in are lifeless.
For as their trust is in lifeless idols, they expect no harm when they have sworn falsely.
Since they place their trust in lifeless idols, they have no fear of punishment in swearing false oaths.
for because they trust in lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
for because they trust in lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
for because they trust in lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
for because they trust in lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
for because they trust in lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
for because they trust in lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer no harm.
For the while they trust in idols, that be without soul, they swear evil, and hope not, that they shall be annoyed (or harmed). [While forsooth they trust in maumets, that be without soul, evil swearing, they hope not themselves to be annoyed (or harmed).]
