The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

Der HERR hat dich zum Priester gesetzt anstatt des Priesters Jojada, daß ihr sollt Aufseher sein im Hause des HERRN über alle Wahnsinnigen und Weissager, daß du sie in den Kerker und Stock legst.

“Jehová te ha puesto como sacerdote en lugar del sacerdote Joiada, para que estés a cargo en la casa de Jehová de todo loco que profetice, y lo pongas en el cepo y la argolla.
L'Eternel t'a établi sacrificateur à la place de Jehojada, le sacrificateur, afin qu'il y ait dans la maison de l'Eternel des inspecteurs pour surveiller tout homme qui est fou et se donne pour prophète, et afin que tu le mettes en prison et dans les fers.
Il Signore ti ha costituito sacerdote in luogo del sacerdote Gioiada; acciocchè voi siate sopraintendenti della Casa del Signore, avendo podestà sopra ogni uomo forsennato, e che fa il profeta, per metterlo in carcere, e ne’ ceppi;
O SENHOR te pôs por sacerdote em lugar de Joiada, o sacerdote, para que sejas encarregado da casa do SENHOR sobre todo o homem fanático, e que profetiza, para o lançares na prisão e no tronco.
