tent pegs for the tabernacle and tent pegs for the courtyard and their ropes;

They made for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold,

But if they are bound in chains, ¹  and held captive by the cords of affliction,

The Lord is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked.” ¹ 

“You are to make for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold,

Those who pull evil along using cords of emptiness are as good as dead, ¹  who pull sin as with cart ropes. ² 

The ropes of Sheol ¹  tightened around me; ²  the snares of death trapped me. ³ 

Can you tie the bands ¹  of the Pleiades, or release the cords of Orion?

They say, ¹  “Let’s tear off the shackles they’ve put on us! ²  Let’s free ourselves from ³  their ropes!”

The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, ¹  the snares of death trapped me. ² 

and the pillars of the courtyard all around, with their sockets, their pegs, and their ropes.

The wicked ¹  will be captured by his ²  own iniquities, ³  and he will be held ⁴  by the cords of his own sin. ⁵ 

The waves ¹  of death engulfed me, the currents ²  of chaos ³  overwhelmed me. ⁴ 

They traded with you choice garments, purple clothes and embroidered work, and multicolored carpets, bound and reinforced with cords; these were among your merchandise.

You are to attach the two gold chains to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece;

They attached the two gold chains to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece;

The ropes of the wicked tighten around ¹  me, but I do not forget your law.

Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men ¹  spread a net by the path; they set traps for me. (Selah)

Make your tent larger, stretch your tent curtains farther out! ¹  Spare no effort, lengthen your ropes, and pound your stakes deep. ² 

and two braided chains of pure gold, like a cord, and attach the chains to the settings.
