Gaza wird kahl werden, und Askalon samt den übrigen in ihren Gründen wird verderbt. Wie lange ritzest du dich?
Sobre Gaza vino mesadura, Ascalón fue cortada, y el resto de su valle: ¿hasta cuándo te arañarás?
Gaza est devenue chauve, Askalon est dans le silence, le reste de leur plaine aussi. Jusques à quand te feras-tu des incisions? -
Raditura di capo è avvenuta a Gaza, Ascalon è perita, col rimanente della lor valle. Infino a quando ti farai tu delle tagliature addosso?
A calvície veio sobre Gaza, foi desarraigada Ascalom, com o restante do seu vale; até quando te retalharás?
迦薩 成了光禿, 亞實基倫 歸於無有。 平原 中所剩的啊, 你割劃自己,要到幾時呢?
