Ps.55.12

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

Ps.55.12

This isn't the neighborhood bully mocking me--I could take that. This isn't a foreign devil spitting invective--I could tune that out.

Ps.55.12

If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him.

Ps.55.12

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.
