21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,

and need not fear when destruction comes.

21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:

Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

21 You will be safe from slander

and have no fear when destruction comes.

21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,

And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

21 You will be protected from the tongue that strikes like a whip,

and you will not be afraid when destruction comes.

21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;

Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

21 Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

21 “When the tongue lashes out, you will be safe, 

and you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes. 

21 You will be safe from slander

and not fear destruction when it comes.

21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,

and shall not fear destruction when it comes.

21 From the scourge of the tongue you shall be hidden,

and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

21 He will keep you safe from words that can hurt you.

You won’t need to be afraid

when everything is being destroyed.

21 “You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,

And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
