לָ֖ךְ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָגָ֑עַתְּ סֹחֲרַ֣יִךְ מִנְּעוּרַ֗יִךְ אִ֤ישׁ לְעֶבְרוֹ֙ תָּע֔וּ אֵ֖ין מוֹשִׁיעֵֽךְ
ESV
Such to you are those with whom you have labored, who have done business with you from your youth; they wander about each in his own direction; there is no one to save you.
NIV
That is all they can do for you- these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you.
NLT
And all your friends, those with whom you've done business since childhood, will go their own ways, turning a deaf ear to your cries.
