- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Sic homo qui jejunat in peccatis suis, et iterum eadem faciens : quid proficit humiliando se ? orationem illius quis exaudiet ?
- Septuagint (Swete)
- οὕτως ἄνθρωπος νηστεύων ἐπὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάλιν πορευόμενος καὶ τὰ αὐτὰ ποιῶν· τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ τίς εἰσακούσεται; καὶ τί ὠφέλησεν ἐν τῷ ταπεινωθῆναι αὐτόν;
