The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): qui jurant in delicto Samariæ, et dicunt : Vivit Deus tuus, Dan, et vivit via Bersabee ; et cadent, et non resurgent ultra.
Septuagint (Swete): οἱ ὀμνύοντες κατὰ τοῦ ἱλασμοῦ Σαμαρείας, καὶ οἱ λέγοντες Ζῇ ὁ θεός σου, Δάν, καὶ ζῇ ὁ θεός σου, Βηρσάβεε. καὶ πεσοῦνται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστῶσιν ἔτι.
Hebrew (WLC): הַנִּשְׁבָּעִים֙ בְּאַשְׁמַ֣ת שֹֽׁמְר֔וֹן וְאָמְר֗וּ חֵ֤י אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙ דָּ֔ן וְחֵ֖י דֶּ֣רֶךְ בְּאֵֽר שָׁ֑בַע וְנָפְל֖וּ וְלֹא יָק֥וּמוּ עֽוֹד

Haydock's commentary

Sin. Septuagint, "propitiation," which the pagans deemed requisite; (Horace, i. ode 2.) or worship (Haydock) of Baal, (4 Kings xvii. 16.; Calmet) and all the other superstitions. (Haydock)

Way. Septuagint, "thy God," or religion, (Acts ix. 2.) or pilgrimage to Bersabee, chap. v. 5. Perhaps the true God was here adored; but it was in a manner which he condemned. (Calmet)

In vain do those pretend to honour Him, who follow the traditions of unbelieving men. (Haydock)
