NEAR HAS COME the reckoning for men , but they turn away in remissness .

The people s reckoning is near , whereas they are in neglect , turned away !

Nigh unto men has drawn their reckoning , while they in heedlessness are yet turning away

There hath approached unto mankind their reckoning , while they in neglect are turning away .

Draws near for mankind their reckoning , while they turn away in heedlessness .

Mankind s reckoning has drawn near , but they turn away heedlessly .

The time of people 's reckoning has drawn near , and yet they turn aside in heedlessness .

Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind , while they turn away in heedlessness .

Mankind s reckoning has drawn near to them , yet they are disregardful in their obliviousness .

The Reckoning for mankind is drawing near , yet they are heedless and turn away .

The time of their account has approached for the people , while they are in heedlessness turning away .

The people 's day of reckoning is drawing closer , yet they are heedlessly neglectful .

Their reckoning has drawn near to men , and in heedlessness are they turning aside .

The time of reckoning has drawn near for mankind , yet they are heedless and turn away .

Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning yet they heed not and they turn away .
