The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et convertet faciem suam ad insulas, et capiet multas : et cessare faciet principem opprobrii sui, et opprobrium ejus convertetur in eum.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἐπιστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς νήσους καὶ συλλήμψεται πολλάς, καὶ καταπαύσει ἄρχοντας ὀνειδισμοῦ αὐτῶν· πλὴν ὀνειδισμὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτῷ.
Hebrew (WLC): וישב פָּנָ֛יו לְאִיִּ֖ים וְלָכַ֣ד רַבִּ֑ים וְהִשְׁבִּ֨ית קָצִ֤ין חֶרְפָּתוֹ֙ ל֔וֹ בִּלְתִּ֥י חֶרְפָּת֖וֹ יָשִׁ֥יב לֽוֹ

Haydock's commentary

Islands, near Asia. He also went into Greece, and was master of that country when the Romans declared war against him. (Calmet)

Of his reproach. Scipio, the Roman general, called the prince of his reproach, because he overthrew Antiochus, and obliged him to submit to very dishonourable terms, before he would cease from the war. (Challoner)

Protestants, "for a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease, without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him." (Haydock)

Being defeated at Magnesia, he chose the wisest plan of avoiding fresh reproach, by making peace, though (Calmet) the terms were very hard. (Livy xxxvii.)

He jokingly observed, that he was obliged to the Romans for contracting his dominions. (Cicero, pro Dejot.)
