As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

Sie haben aus ihren edlen Kleinoden, damit sie Hoffart trieben, Bilder ihrer Greuel und Scheuel gemacht; darum will ich's ihnen zum Unflat machen
Por cuanto la gloria de su ornamento pusieron en soberbia, e hicieron en ella imágenes de sus abominaciones, de sus estatuas: por eso se la torné a ellos en alejamiento;
Convirtieron la belleza de su adorno en orgullo e hicieron con él imágenes de sus abominaciones, sus ídolos detestables. Por eso lo convertiré para ellos en algo impuro.
Ils étaient fiers de leur magnifique parure, Et ils en ont fabriqué les images de leurs abominations, de leurs idoles. C'est pourquoi je la rendrai pour eux un objet d'horreur;
Ed esso ha impiegata la gloria del suo ornamento a superbia, e ne han fatte delle immagini delle loro abbominazioni, le lor cose esecrabili; perciò, farò che quelle cose saranno loro come una immondizia.
E a glória do seu ornamento ele a pôs em magnificência, mas eles fizeram nela imagens das suas abominações e coisas detestáveis; por isso eu lha tenho feito coisa imunda.
他們用所誇耀華美的妝飾製造可憎可厭的偶像,所以我使他們看它如污穢之物。
