- Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet, et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea : et ascendet sicut rivus omnis, et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ κύριος Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὁ ἐφαπτόμενος τῆς γῆς καὶ σαλεύων αὐτήν, καὶ πενθήσουσιν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτήν, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς συντέλεια αὐτῆς, καὶ καταβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς Αἰγύπτου·
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַאדֹנָ֨י יְהוִ֜ה הַצְּבָא֗וֹת הַנּוֹגֵ֤עַ בָּאָ֨רֶץ֙ וַתָּמ֔וֹג וְאָבְל֖וּ כָּל י֣וֹשְׁבֵי בָ֑הּ וְעָלְתָ֤ה כַיְאֹר֙ כֻּלָּ֔הּ וְשָׁקְעָ֖ה כִּיאֹ֥ר מִצְרָֽיִם
