I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.

Ich ließ dir sagen: Mich sollst du fürchten und dich lassen züchtigen! so würde ihre Wohnung nicht ausgerottet und der keines kommen, womit ich sie heimsuchen werde. Aber sie sind fleißig, allerlei Bosheit zu üben.
Dije: Ciertamente me temerás, recibirás corrección; y no será su habitación derruida por todo aquello sobre que los visité. Mas ellos se levantaron de mañana y corrompieron todas sus obras.
Dije: “Sin duda me temerás y aceptarás corrección”. Así no sería destruida su morada, a pesar de todo lo que determiné contra ella. Pero se apresuraron a corromper todas sus acciones.
Je disais: Si du moins tu voulais me craindre, Avoir égard à la correction, Ta demeure ne serait pas détruite, Tous les châtiments dont je t'ai menacée n'arriveraient pas; Mais ils se sont hâtés de pervertir toutes leurs actions.
Io diceva: Tu mi temerai pure, tu riceverai pur correzione; e la sua stanza non sarà distrutta, con tutta la punizione che io ho fatta di lei; ma essi si son levati da mattina, hanno corrotte tutte le loro opere
Eu dizia: Certamente me temerás, e aceitarás a correção, e assim a sua morada não seria destruída, conforme tudo aquilo porque a castiguei; mas eles se levantaram de madrugada, corromperam todas as suas obras.
我說:『只要你敬畏我, 領受訓誨; 其住處就不會照我原先所定的被剪除 。』 然而,他們從早起來就在各樣事上敗壞自己。
