Bible in Basic English
"A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:"
— Deuteronomy 28:50, Bible in Basic English
“A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:”
“a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not respect the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,”
“a nation of stern appearance that will have no regard for the elderly or pity for the young.”
Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;
For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.
The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;
A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:
He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.
Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you.
And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.
