New American Standard Bible
"I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know."

King James Bible
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
I will go down to see if what they have done justifies the cry that has come up to Me. If not, I will find out."
