The LORD hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

Der HERR hat alle Wohnungen Jakobs ohne Barmherzigkeit vertilgt; er hat die Festen der Tochter Juda abgebrochen in seinem Grimm und geschleift; er hat entweiht beide, ihr Königreich und ihre Fürsten.
Destruyó el Señor, y no perdonó; Destruyó en su furor todas las tiendas de Jacob: Echó por tierra las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, Deslustró el reino y sus príncipes.
El Señor ha devorado sin compasión todas las moradas de Jacob. En su furor ha derribado las fortalezas de la hija de Judá y las ha echado por tierra; ha deshonrado al reino y a sus jefes.
Le Seigneur a détruit sans pitié toutes les demeures de Jacob; Il a, dans sa fureur, renversé les forteresses de la fille de Juda, Il les a fait rouler à terre; Il a profané le royaume et ses chefs.
Il Signore ha distrutte tutte le stanze di Giacobbe, senza risparmiarle; Egli ha diroccate le fortezze della figliuola di Giuda, Nella sua indegnazione, E le ha abbattute in terra; Egli ha profanato il regno, ed i suoi principi.
Devorou o Senhor todas as moradas de Jacó, e não se apiedou; derrubou no seu furor as fortalezas da filha de Judá, e abateu-as até à terra; profanou o reino e os seus príncipes.
