Psalms 73:15 - Compare All Versions

If I’d have given in and talked like this, I would have betrayed your dear children. Still, when I tried to figure it out, all I got was a splitting headache . . . Until I entered the sanctuary of God. Then I saw the whole picture: The slippery road you’ve put them on, with a final crash in a ditch of delusions. In the blink of an eye, disaster! A blind curve in the dark, and—nightmare! We wake up and rub our eyes. . . . Nothing. There’s nothing to them. And there never was.

If I say, I will speak thus; Behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

God, if I had decided to talk like this, I would have let your people down.

If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

¶If I had said, “I will say this,” [and expressed my feelings], I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

If I had really spoken this way to others, I would have been a traitor to your people.

If I had given in to my pain and spoken of what I was really feeling, it would have sounded like unfaithfulness to the next generation.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
