New International Version (NIV)

16Slash to the right, you sword,

then to the left,

wherever your blade is turned.

16Prove yourself sharp, go to the right; set yourself; go to the left, wherever your edge is ordered.

16Turn O sword and cut right or cut left, whichever way your thirst for blood and your edge direct you.

16Slash to the right;

set your blade to the left—

wherever your blade is directed.

16Gather thee together, go to the right, set thyself in array, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is set.

16Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.

16Gather yourselves together.

Go to the right.

Set yourselves in array.

Go to the left,

wherever your face is set.

16Sword, cut to the right.

Then cut to the left.

Strike down people everywhere your blade is turned.

16My sword, attack quickly on your right side!

Now turn and attack on your left side!

Attack in every direction that you turn!

16Take possession of the right, place yourself at the left, || To where your face is appointed.
