Denn siehe, der HERR hat geboten, daß man die großen Häuser schlagen soll, daß sie Risse gewinnen, und die kleinen Häuser, daß sie Lücken gewinnen.
Porque he aquí, Jehová mandará, y herirá con hendiduras la casa mayor, y la casa menor con aberturas.
Porque, miren, Jehová da la orden: hará añicos la casa grande y abrirá grietas en la casa pequeña.
Car voici, l'Eternel ordonne: Il fera tomber en ruines la grande maison, Et en débris la petite maison.
Perciocchè, ecco, il Signore dà commissione di percuotere le case grandi di ruine, e le case piccole di rotture.
Porque, eis que o SENHOR ordena, e ferirá a casa grande de brechas, e a casa pequena de fendas.
看哪,耶和華發命令, 把大房子拆成碎片, 小屋子裂為小塊。
