Denn der Herr, HERR hat geschworen bei seiner Seele, spricht der HERR, der Gott Zebaoth: Mich verdrießt die Hoffart Jakobs, und ich bin ihren Palästen gram; und ich will auch die Stadt übergeben mit allem, was darin ist.
El Señor Jehová juró por su alma, Jehová Dios de los ejércitos ha dicho: Tengo en abominación la grandeza de Jacob, y aborrezco sus palacios: y la ciudad y su plenitud entregaré al enemigo.
Le Seigneur, l'Eternel, l'a juré par lui-même; L'Eternel, le Dieu des armées, a dit: J'ai en horreur l'orgueil de Jacob, Et je hais ses palais; Je livrerai la ville et tout ce qu'elle renferme.
Il Signore Iddio ha giurato per l’anima sua, dice il Signore Iddio degli eserciti: Io abbomino l’alterezza di Giacobbe, e odio i suoi palazzi, e darò in man del nemico la città, e tutto ciò che vi è dentro.
Jurou o Senhor DEUS por si mesmo, diz o SENHOR, o Deus dos Exércitos: Abomino a soberba de Jacó, e odeio os seus palácios; por isso entregarei a cidade e tudo o que nela há.
