- Vulgate (Clementine)
- quia seducet filium tuum, ne sequatur me, et ut magis serviat diis alienis : irasceturque furor Domini, et delebit te cito.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἀποστήσει γὰρ τὸν υἱόν σου ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ, καὶ λατρεύσει θεοῖς ἑτέροις, καὶ ὀργισθήσεται θυμῷ Κύριος εἰς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσει σε τὸ τάχος.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כִּֽי יָסִ֤יר אֶת בִּנְךָ֙ מֵֽאַחֲרַ֔י וְעָבְד֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֑ים וְחָרָ֤ה אַף יְהוָה֙ בָּכֶ֔ם וְהִשְׁמִידְךָ֖ מַהֵֽר
Haydock's commentary
Gods. So great is the natural tendency to evil, that though a woman be generally inclined to follow the inclinations and religion of her husband, yet, when his method of living is more repugnant to flesh and blood, she is but too apt to influence him to glide smoothly with her down the hill of pleasure, into the very abyss of dissolution. The prediction, she will turn, &c., is so often verified, that those who marry with unbelievers ought to tremble. (Haydock)
