L'habitante de Maroth tremble pour son salut, Car le malheur est descendu de la part de l'Eternel Jusqu'à la porte de Jérusalem.
Perciocchè l’abitatrice di Marot è dolente per li suoi beni; perciocchè il male è sceso da parte del Signore, fino alla porta di Gerusalemme.
Porque a moradora de Marote sofre pelo bem; porque desceu do SENHOR o mal até à porta de Jerusalém.
