| Verse | KJV | BSB | ASV |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? | Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?” | Thy heart shall muse on the terror: Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed the tribute? where is he that counted the towers? |
