They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

Sie sollen Staub lecken wie die Schlangen und wie das Gewürm auf Erden zitternd hervorkommen aus ihren Burgen; sie werden sich fürchten vor dem HERRN, unserm Gott, und vor dir sich entsetzen.
Lamerán el polvo como la culebra; como las serpientes de la tierra, temblarán en sus encierros: despavorirse han de Jehová nuestro Dios, y temerán de ti.
Lamerán el polvo como la serpiente; como los reptiles de la tierra, saldrán temblando de sus encierros. Acudirán con temor a Jehová nuestro Dios y tendrán miedo de ti.
Elles lécheront la poussière, comme le serpent, Comme les reptiles de la terre; Elles seront saisies de frayeur hors de leurs forteresses; Elles trembleront devant l'Eternel, notre Dieu, Elles te craindront.
Leccheranno la polvere, come la biscia, come i rettili della terra; tremeranno da’ lor ricetti, e si verranno ad arrendere al Signore Iddio nostro, con ispavento; e temeranno di te.
Lamberão o pó como serpente, como vermes da terra, tremendo, sairão dos seus esconderijos; com pavor virão ao SENHOR nosso Deus, e terão medo de ti.
他們要舔土如蛇, 又如地上爬行的動物, 戰戰兢兢離開他們的營寨; 他們必畏懼耶和華─我們的上帝, 也必因你而害怕。
