Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Take heed, turn not to iniquity, for this [the iniquity of complaining against God] you have chosen rather than [submission in] affliction.
Take care; don’t turn to evil because you’ve chosen it over affliction.
Be careful that you do not turn to iniquity; for, after your misery, you have begun to follow this.
Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.
