New International Version (NIV)

7Has the Lord struck her

as he struck down those who struck her?

Has she been killed

as those were killed who killed her?

7¶Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them?

Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

7¶Like the striking by Him who has struck them, has He struck them?

Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

7Has the Lord struck Israel as He struck her oppressors?

Was she killed like those who slayed her?

7Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them?

7Hath hee smitten him as hee smote those that smote him? or is hee slaine according to the slaughter of them that were slaine by him?

7Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?

7The Lord struck down those who struck down Israel.

But he hasn’t punished Israel as much.

The Lord killed those who killed many of his people.

But he hasn’t punished his people as much.

7The Lord did not punish Israel's people as much as he punished their enemies. He did not kill them as much as he killed their enemies.

7Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
