I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

Ich kehrte unter euch um, wie Gott Sodom und Gomorra umkehrte, daß ihr waret wie ein Brand, der aus dem Feuer gerissen wird; doch bekehrtet ihr euch nicht zu mir, spricht der HERR.
Trastorneos, como cuando Dios trastornó a Sodoma y a Gomorra, y fuisteis como tizón escapado del fuego: mas no os tornasteis a mí, dice Jehová.
Causé destrucción entre ustedes como Dios destruyó a Sodoma y a Gomorra, y fueron como un tizón rescatado del incendio; pero no volvieron a mí —declara Jehová—.
Je vous ai bouleversés, Comme Sodome et Gomorrhe, que Dieu détruisit; Et vous avez été comme un tison arraché de l'incendie. Malgré cela, vous n'êtes pas revenus à moi, dit l'Eternel...
Io vi ho sovvertiti, come Iddio sovvertì Sodoma e Gomorra; e siete stati come un tizzone salvato da un incendio; e pur voi non vi siete convertiti a me, dice il Signore.
Subverti a alguns dentre vós, como Deus subverteu a Sodoma e Gomorra, e vós fostes como um tição arrebatado do incêndio; contudo não vos convertestes a mim, disse o SENHOR.
「我傾覆你們, 如同上帝從前傾覆 所多瑪 、 蛾摩拉 一樣; 你們好像從火中搶救出來的一根柴, 你們仍不歸向我。」 這是耶和華說的。
