And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

Und soll einer über den andern hinfallen, gleich als vor dem Schwert, da sie doch niemand jagt; und ihr sollt euch nicht auflehnen dürfen wider eure Feinde.
Y tropezarán los unos en los otros, como si huyeran delante de cuchillo, aunque nadie los persiga; y no podréis resistir delante de vuestros enemigos.
Tropezarán unos con otros como ante la espada, aunque nadie los persiga, y no podrán mantenerse en pie ante sus enemigos.
Ils se renverseront les uns sur les autres comme devant l'épée, sans qu'on les poursuive. Vous ne subsisterez point en présence de vos ennemis;
E traboccheranno l’uno sopra l’altro, come se fuggissero davanti alla spada, senza però che alcuno li perseguiti; e voi non potrete durar davanti a’ vostri nemici.
E cairão uns sobre os outros como diante da espada, sem ninguém os perseguir; e não podereis resistir diante dos vossos inimigos.
雖然無人追趕,他們卻要彼此絆倒,像逃避刀劍一樣。你們在仇敵面前必站立不住。
