Do not disobey the fear of the Lord;
do not approach him with a divided heart.

and what pleases him is faithfulness and gentleness.
Do not stand out against fear of the Lord, 
do not practice it with a double heart.

and what pleases him is faithfulness and gentleness.
Do not be unsubmissive to the fear of the Lord,
do not practice it with a double heart.

fidelity and gentleness are his delight.
Do not disregard the fear of the Lord,
or approach him without sincerity.

Be not faithless to the fear of the LORD, 
nor approach it with duplicity of heart.
