Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) |
whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame – who set their mind on earthly things. |
whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite (belly), and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. |
|
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. |
They are doomed and their fate is eternal misery (perdition); their god is their stomach (their appetites, their sensuality) and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party. |
whose end is utter destruction, whose god is their stomach, and that which they esteem to be their glory is their shame, who regard the things upon the earth. |
|
These men are heading for utter destruction – their god is their own appetite, they glory in their shame, and this world is the limit of their horizon. |
Their doom is destruction, their stomach is their god, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are feeding on earthly things. |
