And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

Ich will eure Feiertage in Trauern und alle eure Lieder in Wehklagen verwandeln; ich will über alle Lenden den Sack binden und alle Köpfe kahl machen, und will ihnen ein Trauern schaffen, wie man über einen einzigen Sohn hat; und sie sollen ein jämmerlich Ende nehmen.
Y tornaré vuestras fiestas en lloro, y todos vuestros cantares en endechas; y haré poner saco sobre todos lomos, y peladura sobre toda cabeza; y tornaréla como en llanto de unigénito, y su postrimería como día amargo.
Je changerai vos fêtes en deuil, Et tous vos chants en lamentations, Je couvrirai de sacs tous les reins, Et je rendrai chauves toutes les têtes; Je mettrai le pays dans le deuil comme pour un fils unique, Et sa fin sera comme un jour d'amertume.
E cangerò le vostre feste in duolo, e tutti i vostri canti in lamento; e farò che si porrà il sacco sopra tutti i lombi, e che ogni testa sarà rasa; e metterò il paese in cordoglio, quale è quel che si fa per lo figluolo unico; e la sua fine sarà come un giorno amaro
E tornarei as vossas festas em luto, e todos os vossos cânticos em lamentações; e porei pano de saco sobre todos os lombos, e calva sobre toda cabeça; e farei que isso seja como luto por um filho único, e o seu fim como dia de amarguras.
「我要使你們的節期變為悲哀, 你們一切的歌曲變為哀歌; 我要使眾人腰束麻布, 頭上光禿; 我要使這悲哀如喪獨子, 其結局如悲痛的日子。
