New International Version (NIV)

12The groans of the dying rise from the city,

and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.

But God charges no one with wrongdoing.

12“From the city people groan,

And the souls of the wounded cry for help;

Yet God does not pay attention to the offensiveness.

12“From the [populous and crowded] city men groan,

And the souls of the wounded cry out for help;

Yet God [seemingly] does not pay attention to the wrong [done to them].

12From the city, men groan,

and the souls of the wounded cry out,

yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.

12From out of the populous city men groan,

And the soul of the wounded crieth out:

Yet God regardeth not the folly.

12Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.

12From out of the populous city, men groan.

The soul of the wounded cries out,

yet God doesn’t regard the folly.

12The groans of those who are dying are heard from the city.

Those who are wounded cry out for help.

But God doesn’t charge anyone with doing what is wrong.

12In the cities, people who are dying cry with pain.

They call for help,

but God does not punish the people who have hurt them.

12Men groan because of enmity, || And the soul of pierced ones cries, || And God does not give praise.
