ESV: Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust, that you have rebelled against me?
NIV: You say you have the counsel and the might for war--but you speak only empty words. On whom are you depending, that you rebel against me?
NASB: You say— but they are only empty words—‘ I have a plan and strength for the war.’ Now on whom have you relied, that you have revolted against me?
CSB: You think mere words are strategy and strength for war. Who are you now relying on so that you have rebelled against me?
NLT: Do you think that mere words can substitute for military skill and strength? Who are you counting on, that you have rebelled against me?
KJV: Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
NKJV: You speak of having plans and power for war; but they are mere words. And in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
