Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

Darum, spricht der HERR, müsset ihr mein auch harren, bis ich mich aufmache zu seiner Zeit, da ich auch rechten werde und die Heiden versammeln und die Königreiche zuhauf bringen, meinen Zorn über sie zu schütten, ja, allen Zorn meines Grimmes; denn alle Welt soll durch meines Eifers Feuer verzehrt werden.
Por tanto, esperadme, dice Jehová, al día que me levantaré al despojo: porque mi determinación es reunir las gentes, juntar los reinos, para derramar sobre ellos mi enojo, todo el furor de mi ira; porque del fuego de mi celo será consumida toda la tierra.
Por eso, espérenme —declara Jehová— hasta el día en que me levante para tomar botín. Porque he decidido reunir a las naciones, congregar a los reinos, para derramar sobre ellos mi indignación, todo el ardor de mi ira. Porque el fuego de mi celo consumirá toda la tierra.
Attendez-moi donc, dit l'Eternel, Au jour où je me lèverai pour le butin, Car j'ai résolu de rassembler les nations, De rassembler les royaumes, Pour répandre sur eux ma fureur, Toute l'ardeur de ma colère; Car par le feu de ma jalousie tout le pays sera consumé.
Tuttavolta, aspettatemi, dice il Signore, nel giorno che io mi leverò per ispogliare; conciossiachè il mio decreto sia di adunar le genti, di raccogliere i regni, per ispander sopra loro la mia indegnazione, tutto l’ardore della mia ira; perciocchè tutta la terra sarà consumata per lo fuoco della mia gelosia.
Portanto esperai-me, diz o SENHOR, no dia em que eu me levantar para o despojo; porque o meu decreto é ajuntar as nações e congregar os reinos, para sobre eles derramar a minha indignação, e todo o ardor da minha ira; porque toda esta terra será consumida pelo fogo do meu zelo.
「你們要等候我, 直到我興起擄掠 的日子; 因為我已定意招聚列邦,聚集列國, 將我的惱怒,我一切的烈怒,都傾倒在它們身上。 我妒忌的火必燒滅全地。 這是耶和華說的。
