Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Es wird sie ihr Silber und Gold nicht erretten können am Tage des Zorns des HERRN, sondern das ganze Land soll durch das Feuer seines Eifers verzehrt werden; denn er wird plötzlich ein Ende machen mit allen, die im Lande wohnen.
Ni su plata ni su oro podrá librarlos en el día de la ira de Jehová; pues toda la tierra será consumida con el fuego de su celo: porque ciertamente consumación apresurada hará con todos los moradores de la tierra.
Ni su plata ni su oro podrán librarlos el día de la ira de Jehová. Toda la tierra será consumida por el fuego de su celo, pues él dará un fin total y repentino a todos los habitantes de la tierra.
Ni leur argent ni leur or ne pourront les délivrer, Au jour de la fureur de l'Eternel; Par le feu de sa jalousie tout le pays sera consumé; Car il détruira soudain tous les habitants du pays.
Nè il loro argento, nè il loro oro, non li potrà scampare nel giorno dell’indegnazione del Signore; e tutto il paese sarà consumato per lo fuoco della sua gelosia; perciocchè egli farà una finale, ed anche affrettata distruzione di tutti gli abitanti del paese
Nem a sua prata nem o seu ouro os poderá livrar no dia da indignação do SENHOR, mas pelo fogo do seu zelo toda esta terra será consumida, porque certamente fará de todos os moradores da terra uma destruição total e apressada.
當耶和華發怒的日子, 他們的金銀不能救自己; 耶和華妒忌的火必燒滅全地, 要向地上所有的居民施行可怕的毀滅。
