14 If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
14 Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.
14 If you wake your friend in the early morning by shouting "Rise and shine!" It will sound to him more like a curse than a blessing.
14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It will be counted a curse to him.
14 A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse!
