And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Ich suchte unter ihnen, ob jemand sich zur Mauer machte und wider den Riß stünde vor mir für das Land, daß ich's nicht verderbte; aber ich fand keinen.
Y busqué de ellos hombre que hiciese vallado y que se pusiese al portillo delante de mí por la tierra, para que yo no la destruyese; y no lo hallé.
Busqué entre ellos a un hombre que levantara un muro y se pusiera en la brecha delante de mí, a favor de la tierra, para que yo no la destruyera, pero no lo encontré.
Je cherche parmi eux un homme qui élève un mur, qui se tienne à la brèche devant moi en faveur du pays, afin que je ne le détruise pas; mais je n'en trouve point.
Ed io ho cercato d’infra loro alcuno che facesse alcun riparo; e che si presentasse davanti a me alla rottura, per lo paese; acciocchè io non lo desertassi; ma non ne ho trovato alcuno.
E busquei dentre eles um homem que estivesse tapando o muro, e estivesse na brecha perante mim por esta terra, para que eu não a destruísse; porém a ninguém achei.
我在他們中間尋找一人重修城牆,在我面前為這地站在缺口上,使我不致滅絕它,卻連一個也找不著。
