Psalms 78:31 - Compare All Versions

God’s anger rose against them; he put to death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men of Israel.

the anger of God rose against them, and he killed the strongest of them and laid low the young men of Israel.

the anger of God rose against them, and he killed their strongest men. He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men.

God’s anger flared up against them, and he killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel’s fit young men.

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

The wrath of God came against them, And slew the stoutest of them, And struck down the choice men of Israel.

When GOD heard that, he was furious— his anger flared against Jacob, he lost his temper with Israel. It was clear they didn’t believe God, had no intention of trusting in his help. But God helped them anyway, commanded the clouds and gave orders that opened the gates of heaven. He rained down showers of manna to eat, he gave them the Bread of Heaven. They ate the bread of the mighty angels; he sent them all the food they could eat. He let East Wind break loose from the skies, gave a strong push to South Wind. This time it was birds that rained down— succulent birds, an abundance of birds. He aimed them right for the center of their camp; all round their tents there were birds. They ate and had their fill; he handed them everything they craved on a platter. But their greed knew no bounds; they stuffed their mouths with more and more. Finally, God was fed up, his anger erupted— he cut down their brightest and best, he laid low Israel’s finest young men.

The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their strongest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.

The wrath of God rose against them And killed some of the strongest of them, And subdued the choice young men of Israel.

when the anger of God flared up against them. He killed some of the strongest of them; he brought the young men of Israel to their knees.
