| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. | 14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, which lives by itself in a forest, in fertile pasturelands. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in days long ago. |
| 15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. | 15 "As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders." |
| 16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf . | 16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their power. They will lay their hands on their mouths and their ears will become deaf. |
| 17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee. | 17 They will lick dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the ground. They will come trembling out of their dens; they will turn in fear to the LORD our God and will be afraid of you. |
