Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Seid böse, ihr Völker, und gebt doch die Flucht! Höret's alle, die ihr in fernen Landen seid! Rüstet euch, und gebt doch die Flucht; rüstet euch und gebt doch die Flucht!
Juntaos, pueblos, y seréis quebrantados; oíd todos los que sois de lejanas tierras: poneos a punto, y seréis quebrantados; apercibíos, y seréis quebrantados.
Reúnanse, pueblos, y serán quebrantados; escuchen, todos los confines de la tierra. Prepárense, y serán quebrantados; prepárense, y serán quebrantados.
Poussez des cris de guerre, peuples! et vous serez brisés; Prêtez l'oreille, vous tous qui habitez au loin! Préparez-vous au combat, et vous serez brisés; Préparez-vous au combat, et vous serez brisés.
Fate pur lega tra voi, o popoli, sì sarete fiaccati; voi tutti che siete di lontani paesi, porgete gli orecchi; apparecchiatevi pure, sì sarete fiaccati; apparecchiatevi pure, sì sarete fiaccati.
Ajuntai-vos, ó povos, e sereis quebrantados; dai ouvidos, todos os que sois de terras longínquas; cingi-vos e sereis feitos em pedaços, cingi-vos e sereis feitos em pedaços.
萬民哪,任憑你們行惡 ,終必毀滅; 遠方的眾人哪,當側耳而聽! 任憑你們束腰,終必毀滅; 你們束起腰來,終必毀滅。
