他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆绑，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他们若被锁链捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住，

他們若被鎖鍊捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鏈捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鏈捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鏈捆綁，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鍊捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住，

他們若被鎖鍊捆鎖着，若被苦難的繩索纏住，

And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of affliction;

If people are bound with chains and trapped by the cords of affliction,

And if[ they be] bound in fetters,[ and] be holden in cords of affliction;

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

If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
