Verräter sind in dir, auf daß sie Blut vergießen. Sie essen auf den Bergen und handeln mutwillig in dir;
Calumniadores hubo en ti para derramar sangre; y sobre los montes comieron en ti: hicieron en medio de ti suciedades.
En ti ha habido calumniadores para derramar sangre; en ti han comido en los montes; en medio de ti han cometido depravaciones.
Il y a chez toi des calomniateurs pour répandre le sang; chez toi, l'on mange sur les montagnes; on commet le crime dans ton sein.
Uomini sparlatori, e calunniatori sono stati in mezzo di te, per ispandere il sangue; e si è mangiato in te sopra i monti; si son commesse scelleratezze in mezzo di te.
Homens caluniadores se acharam em ti, para derramarem sangue; e em ti sobre os montes comeram; perversidade cometeram no meio de ti.
