| 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? | 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, You deceitful tongue? |
| 4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! | 4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning coals of the broom tree. |
