And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

und wenn sie sich gleich versteckten oben auf dem Berge Karmel, will ich sie doch daselbst suchen und herabholen; und wenn sie sich vor meinen Augen verbürgen im Grunde des Meeres, so will ich doch den Schlangen befehlen, die sie daselbst stechen sollen;
Y si se escondieren en la cumbre del Carmelo, allí los buscaré y los tomaré; y aunque se escondieren de delante de mis ojos en el profundo de la mar, allí mandaré a la culebra, y morderalos.
Aunque se escondan en la cumbre del Carmelo, allí los buscaré y los tomaré; aunque se oculten de mis ojos en el fondo del mar, allí ordenaré a la serpiente que los muerda.
S'ils se cachent au sommet du Carmel, Je les y chercherai et je les saisirai; S'ils se dérobent à mes regards dans le fond de la mer, Là j'ordonnerai au serpent de les mordre.
Ed avvegnachè si nascondessero in su la sommità di Carmel, io li investigherò e li torrò di là; ed avvegnachè si occultassero dal mio cospetto nel fondo del mare, di là comanderò al serpente che li morda.
E, se se esconderem no cume do Carmelo, buscá-los-ei, e dali os tirarei; e, se dos meus olhos se ocultarem no fundo do mar, ali darei ordem à serpente, e ela os picará.
雖然藏在 迦密山 頂, 我必在那裏搜尋,擒拿他們; 雖然離開我眼前藏在海底, 我必在那裏命令蛇咬他們;
