| American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few. | 7 But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations. |
