For the name of the LORD is not to be mentioned." | 10And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. | 10A close relative and burner will remove his corpse from the house.

| 13you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar and say, "Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?" | 13you who rejoice in Lo-debar, who say, “Have we not by our own strength captured Karnaim for ourselves?” | 13You who rejoice in Lodebar, And say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?" | 13Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? | 13you who rejoice over Lo-debar and say, "Didn't we capture Karnaim for ourselves by our own strength?" |
