וָאֹמַ֗ר לֹ֤א טוֹב֙ הַדָּבָ֣ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר אַתֶּ֣ם עֹשִׂ֑ים הֲל֞וֹא בְּיִרְאַ֣ת אֱלֹהֵ֣ינוּ תֵּלֵ֡כוּ מֵ֣חֶרְפַּ֡ת הַגּוֹיִ֡ם אוֹיְבֵֽינוּ׃
vaʾomar loʾ ṭvob hadabar ʾasher ʾatem ʿoshiym halvoʾ byirʾat ʾeloheynv telekv meḥerpat hagvoyim ʾvoybeynv
King James Version (KJV)

Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

Modern English

So I said: The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?
