New Revised Standard Version
Like vinegar on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. Like a moth in clothing or a worm in wood, sorrow gnaws at the human heart.

Contemporary English Version
Singing to someone in deep sorrow is like pouring vinegar in an open cut.

New American Bible
Like the removal of clothes on a cold day, or vinegar on soda, is the one who sings to a troubled heart.

Douay-Rheims Bible
And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
