For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, [say] all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror on every side! Report! Let us report him!” Every man of my peace, the watchers of my stumbling: “Perhaps he will be deceived, then we will prevail against him and we will take our vengeance on him.”
