他们却非常惧怕，说：“看哪，两个王在他面前尚且站立不住，我们怎能站立得住呢？”

他们都十分害怕，彼此商议说：“两位王都不能抵挡他，我们怎能抵挡呢？”

他们就十分害怕，说：“看哪，两个王尚且不能在他面前站立得住，我们又怎能站得住呢？”

首領們卻懼怕得不得了，說：『看哪，兩個王在他面前尚且站立不住，我們怎能站得住呢？』

彼眾懼甚、曰、二王不能禦之、我儕何能禦乎、

當事者懼甚、曰、二王敵耶戶、尚為所敗、我焉能禦之。

彼皆懼甚、相語曰、二王尚不能立於其前、我儕焉能敵耶、

But they were terrified and said,“ If two kings could not resist him, how can we?”

The leaders of Samaria were terrified. They said,“ King Joram and King Ahaziah couldn’t stand up against Jehu. So how can we?”

But they were exceedingly afraid and said,“ Behold, the two kings could not stand before him. How then can we stand?”

However, they were terrified and reasoned,“ Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we?”

But they feared greatly and said,“ Behold, the two kings did not stand firm before him; how then can we stand?”

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said,“ Look, two kings could not stand up to him; how then can we stand?”

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

However, they were terrified and reasoned,“ Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we?”

But Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he sank down dead in his chariot.

My anger will be gone. If I find briers and thorns growing, I will attack them; I will burn them up—

I will come like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan, leaping on the sheep in the pasture. I will chase Edom from its land, and I will appoint the leader of my choice. For who is like me, and who can challenge me? What ruler can oppose my will?”

“ Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him?

Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.
