Ihre falschen Zungen sind mörderische Pfeile; mit ihrem Munde reden sie freundlich gegen den Nächsten, aber im Herzen lauern sie auf ihn.
Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: He aquí que yo los fundiré, y los ensayaré; porque ¿cómo he de hacer por la hija de mi pueblo?
C'est pourquoi ainsi parle l'Eternel des armées: Voici je les sonderai, je les éprouverai. Car comment agir à l'égard de la fille de mon peuple?
Perciò, così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti: Ecco, io li metterò al cimento, ed alla prova; perciocchè, come farei altrimenti, per amor della figliuola del mio popolo?
Portanto assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Eis que eu os fundirei e os provarei; pois, de que outra maneira procederia com a filha do meu povo?
所以萬軍之耶和華如此說: 「看哪,我要熬煉他們,考驗他們; 不然,為了我的百姓 ,我該如何行呢?
