But this is worthy of honors, not torments,
LXXE
But this is worthy of honours, not of torments; hadst thou been capable of the higher feelings of men, and possessed the hope of salvation from God. Behold, now, being alien from God, thou makest war against those who are religious toward God.

LXX-Br
Ἀλλὰ ταῦτα τιμῶν, οὐ βασάνων ἐστὶν ἄξια. Εἴπερ ᾐσθάνου ἀνθρώπου πόθων, καὶ ἐλπίδα εἶχες παρὰ Θεῷ σωτηρίου· νῦν ἰδὲ ἀλλότριος ὢν Θεοῦ, πολεμεῖς τοὺς εὐσεβοῦντας εἰς τὸν Θεόν.
