| 10He struck down many nations, killing many kings— | 10He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings— |
| 11Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and every kingdom of Canaan— | 11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. |

| 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, worked by the hands of human beings. | 15The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. |
| 16Mouths are attributed to them, but they cannot speak; sight is attributed to them, but they cannot see; | 16They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. |
