For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him:

The taunts were not those of a foe that I could have borne; the disdain was not that of an enemy I could have shunned them:

Denn nicht ein Feind ist es, der mich höhnt, sonst würde ich es ertragen; nicht mein Hasser ist es, der wider mich großgetan hat, sonst würde ich mich vor ihm verbergen;

Porque no me afrentó un enemigo, lo cual habría soportado; ni se alzó contra mí el que me aborrecía, porque me hubiera ocultado de él:

Porque não é um inimigo o que me insulta, pois se fosse eu o suportaria; nem é alguém que me odeia o que se engrandece contra mim, pois se fosse eu me esconderia dele.

Pois não é um inimigo que me afronta, isso eu poderia suportar; nem é aquele que me odeia o que se levanta contra mim, porque dele eu teria me escondido.
