Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Kings. Elijah confronts Ahab in Naboth’s vineyard and announces judgment against him and his house. Ahab humbles himself, and God acknowledges his response by postponing part of the punishment until his son’s days. The scene does not remove the seriousness of the crime, but shows that even a guilty king can experience a measure of mercy when he humbles himself. Judgment against Ahab’s house, however, remains announced.

¿No has visto como Achâb se ha humillado delante de mí? Pues por cuanto se ha humillado delante de mí, no traeré el mal en sus días: en los días de su hijo traeré el mal sobre su casa.
As-tu vu comment Achab s'est humilié devant moi? Parce qu'il s'est humilié devant moi, je ne ferai pas venir le malheur pendant sa vie; ce sera pendant la vie de son fils que je ferai venir le malheur sur sa maison.
Hai tu veduto come Achab si è umiliato davanti a me? Perciocchè egli si è umiliato davanti a me, io non farò venir quel male a’ suoi dì; io lo farò venir sopra la casa sua, a’ dì del suo figliuolo
Não viste que Acabe se humilha perante mim? Por isso, porquanto se humilha perante mim, não trarei este mal nos seus dias, mas nos dias de seu filho o trarei sobre a sua casa.
「 亞哈 在我面前這樣謙卑,你看見了嗎?因為他在我面前謙卑,所以在他的日子,我不降這禍;到他兒子的時候,我必降這禍於他的家。」
