Common English Bible

⁶ If they can repay, their creditors will barely recover half the amount, and the creditors will consider that much a windfall; but if they can’t pay, they have defrauded their creditors of their money, and they have made enemies out of them needlessly. They will repay their creditors with curses and insults, and they will repay them with dishonor rather than glory.

Catholic Public Domain Version

⁶ But at the time of repayment, they will ask for more time, and they will speak annoying and complaining words, and they will make excuses for the time.

Good News Translation (US Version)

⁶ If the lender insists on being paid, he can count himself lucky to get back half. If he doesn't insist, the borrower has robbed him and made an unnecessary enemy. All the lender will get from him are curses, insults, and disrespect, but never any gratitude.

World English Bible - American English Edition - without Strong's Numbers

⁶ If he prevails, the creditor will hardly receive half; and he will count it as a windfall. If not, he has deprived him of his money, and he has gotten him for an enemy without cause. He will pay him with cursing and railing. Instead of honor, he will pay him disgrace.

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

⁶ Sometimes they feel lucky to get back half of the money they lent. And instead of respect, a lender often gets nothing but curses and angry words from a borrower who is robbing the lender by not paying back the loan.
