2 Kings 3:34
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Manus tuæ ligatæ non sunt, et pedes tui non sunt compedibus aggravati : sed sicut solent cadere coram filiis iniquitatis, sic corruisti. Congeminansque omnis populus flevit super eum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- αἱ χεῖρές σου οὐκ ἐδέθησαν, οἱ πόδες σου οὐκ ἐν πέδαις· οὐ προσήγαγεν ὡς Ναβάλ, ἐνώπιον υἱῶν ἀδικίας ἔπεσας. καὶ συνήχθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τοῦ κλαῦσαι αὐτόν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- יָדֶ֣ךָ לֹֽא אֲסֻר֗וֹת וְרַגְלֶ֨יךָ֙ לֹא לִנְחֻשְׁתַּ֣יִם הֻגָּ֔שׁוּ כִּנְפ֛וֹל לִפְנֵ֥י בְנֵֽי עַוְלָ֖ה נָפָ֑לְתָּ וַיֹּסִ֥פוּ כָל הָעָ֖ם לִבְכּ֥וֹת עָלָֽיו
Haydock's commentary
Iniquity. David does not spare Joab, in this canticle, which was sung by all the people. (Calmet)
He intimates, that if he had not used deceit, Abner would not have been so easily overcome. (Haydock)
