Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. |
You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. |
You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. |
|
You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. |
You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled, [so] you become murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as your hearts are concerned.] You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask. |
You have a passionate desire and are not realizing its fulfillment; you murder. And you covet and are filled with jealousy, and you are not able to obtain. You engage in conflicts and quarrel. You do not have because you are not praying for something to be given you. |
|
You crave for something and don’t get it; you are murderously jealous of what you can’t possess yourselves; you struggle and fight with one another. You don’t get what you want because you don’t ask God for it. |
You desire things and cannot have them, and so you commit murder. You covet things, but cannot acquire them, and so you quarrel and fight. You do not have them, because you do not ask for them. |
Ye lust, 1937 and 2532 have 2192 not: 3756 ye kill, 5407 and 2532 desire to have, 2206 and 2532 can- 1410 -not 3756 obtain: 2013 ye fight 3164 and 2532 war, 4170 yet 1161 ye have 2192 not, 3756 because ye 5209 ask 154 not. 3361 |
