¡Cómo ha sido cortado y quebrado el martillo de toda la tierra! ¡Cómo se ha convertido Babilonia en motivo de horror entre las naciones!
Eh quoi! il est rompu, brisé, le marteau de toute la terre! Babylone est détruite au milieu des nations!
Come è stato mozzato, e rotto il martello di tutta la terra? come è stata Babilonia ridotta in desolazione fra le genti?
