New International Version (NIV)

57Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless,

as unreliable as a faulty bow.

57But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;

They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

57But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;

They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

57They turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;

They were twisted like a warped bow [that will not respond to the archer’s aim].

57They turned back and were faithless like their fathers,

twisted like a faulty bow.

57They were like their people who lived long ago.

They turned away from him and were not faithful.

They were like a bow that doesn’t shoot straight.

They couldn’t be trusted.
