And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

daß sie hin und her von einem Meer zum andern, von Mitternacht gegen Morgen umlaufen und des HERRN Wort suchen, und doch nicht finden werden.
E irán errantes de mar a mar: desde el norte hasta el oriente discurrirán buscando palabra de Jehová, y no la hallarán.
Ils seront alors errants d'une mer à l'autre, Du septentrion à l'orient, Ils iront çà et là pour chercher la parole de l'Eternel, Et ils ne la trouveront pas.
Ed essi si moveranno da un mare all’altro, e dal Settentrione fino all’Oriente; andranno attorno, cercando la parola del Signore, e non la troveranno.
E irão errantes de um mar até outro mar, e do norte até ao oriente; correrão por toda a parte, buscando a palavra do SENHOR, mas não a acharão.
他們必飄流,從這海到那海, 從北邊到東邊,往來奔跑, 尋求耶和華的話, 卻尋不著。
