10“A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!

And cursed is the one who restrains his sword from blood.

10Cursed be the one who does the Lord’s work negligently,

And cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.

10“Cursed is the one who does the work of the Lord negligently,

And cursed is the one who restrains his sword from blood [in executing the judgment of the Lord].

10Cursed is the one who is remiss

in doing the work of the Lord,

and cursed is he who withholds

his sword from bloodshed.

10“May anyone who is lazy when they do the Lord’s work

be under my curse!

May anyone who keeps their sword from killing

be under my curse!
