Suchet den HERR, alle ihr Elenden im Lande, die ihr seine Rechte haltet; suchet Gerechtigkeit, suchet Demut, auf daß ihr am Tage des Zornes des HERRN möget verborgen werden.
Buscad a Jehová todos los humildes de la tierra, que pusisteis en obra su juicio; buscad justicia, buscad mansedumbre: quizás seréis guardados en el día del enojo de Jehová.
Busquen a Jehová, todos los humildes de la tierra que cumplen sus preceptos. Busquen la justicia, busquen la humildad; quizá sean resguardados el día de la ira de Jehová.
Cherchez l'Eternel, vous tous, humbles du pays, Qui pratiquez ses ordonnances! Recherchez la justice, recherchez l'humilité! Peut-être serez-vous épargnés au jour de la colère de l'Eternel.
voi, tutti i mansueti del paese, che fate ciò ch’egli ordina, cercate il Signore; cercate giustizia, procacciate mansuetudine; forse sarete nascosti nel giorno dell’ira del Signore
Buscai ao SENHOR, vós todos os mansos da terra, que tendes posto por obra o seu juízo; buscai a justiça, buscai a mansidão; pode ser que sejais escondidos no dia da ira do SENHOR.
世上遵守耶和華典章的謙卑人哪, 你們都當尋求耶和華, 尋求公義,尋求謙卑; 或許在耶和華發怒的日子得以隱藏。
