In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

Zu der Zeit, da du wider ihn standest, da die Fremden sein Heer gefangen wegführten und Ausländer zu seinen Toren einzogen und über Jerusalem das Los warfen, da warst du gleich wie deren einer.
El día que estando tú delante, llevaban extraños cautivo su ejército, y los extraños entraban por sus puertas, y echaban suertes sobre Jerusalem, tú también eras como uno de ellos.
El día que te mantuviste al margen, el día que extranjeros se llevaban su riqueza, que forasteros entraban por sus puertas y echaban suertes sobre Jerusalén, también tú eras como uno de ellos.
Le jour où tu te tenais en face de lui, Le jour où des étrangers emmenaient captive son armée, Où des étrangers entraient dans ses portes, Et jetaient le sort sur Jérusalem, Toi aussi tu étais comme l'un d'eux.
Nel giorno, che tu gli stavi dirincontro; nel giorno, che gli stranieri menavano in cattività il suo esercito, e i forestieri entravano dentro alle sue porte, e traevano le sorti sopra Gerusalemme, anche tu eri come l’un di loro.
No dia em que o confrontaste, no dia em que estranhos levaram cativo o seu exército, e os estrangeiros entravam pelas suas portas, e lançaram sortes sobre Jerusalém, tu eras também como um deles.
當陌生人擄掠 雅各 的財物, 當外邦人進入他的城門, 為 耶路撒冷 抽籤分取財物的日子, 你竟站在一旁,像與他們同夥。
