And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

und wenn sie vor ihren Feinde hin gefangen gingen, so will ich doch dem Schwert befehlen, daß es sie daselbst erwürgen soll. Denn ich will meine Augen über sie halten zum Unglück und nicht zum Guten.
Y si fueren en cautiverio, delante de sus enemigos, allí mandaré al cuchillo, y los matará; y pondré sobre ellos mis ojos para mal, y no para bien.
Aunque vayan al cautiverio delante de sus enemigos, allí ordenaré a la espada que los mate. Pondré mi ojo sobre ellos para mal y no para bien».
S'ils vont en captivité devant leurs ennemis, Là j'ordonnerai à l'épée de les faire périr; Je dirigerai contre eux mes regards Pour faire du mal et non du bien.
E se vanno in cattività davanti a’ lor nemici, di là darò commissione alla spada che li uccida; e metterò l’occhio mio sopra loro in male, e non in bene.
E, se forem em cativeiro diante de seus inimigos, ali darei ordem à espada que os mate; e eu porei os meus olhos sobre eles para o mal, e não para o bem.
雖然被仇敵擄去, 我也必在那裏命令刀劍殺戮他們; 我必定睛在他們身上, 降禍不降福。」
