New International Version (NIV)

14“It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—

then goes off and boasts about the purchase.

14“Bad, bad,” says the buyer,

But when he goes his way, then he boasts.

14“Bad, bad,” says the buyer,

But when he goes his way, then he boasts.

14“It is [almost] worthless, it is [almost] worthless,” says the buyer [as he negotiates the price];

But when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain].

14“Worthless, worthless!” says the buyer,

but on the way out, he gloats.

14“It’s no good. It’s no good!” says a buyer.

Then off they go and brag about what they bought.
