E venderò i vostri figliuoli, e le vostre figliuole, in man dei figliuoli di Giuda; ed essi li venderanno a’ Sabei, per esser condotti ad una nazione lontana; perciocchè il Signore ha parlato
E venderei vossos filhos e vossas filhas na mão dos filhos de Judá, que os venderão aos sabeus, a um povo distante, porque o SENHOR o disse.
