- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Venite, sapienter opprimamus eum, ne forte multiplicetur : et si ingruerit contra nos bellum, addatur inimicis nostris, expugnatisque nobis egrediatur de terra.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- δεῦτε οὖν κατασοφισώμεθα αὐτούς, μή ποτε πληθυνθῇ, καὶ ἡνίκα ἂν συμβῇ ἡμῖν πόλεμος προστεθήσονται καὶ οὗτοι πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους, καὶ ἐκπολεμήσαντες ἡμᾶς ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τῆς ⸂⸆⸃ γῆς.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הָ֥בָה נִֽתְחַכְּמָ֖ה ל֑וֹ פֶּן יִרְבֶּ֗ה וְהָיָ֞ה כִּֽי תִקְרֶ֤אנָה מִלְחָמָה֙ וְנוֹסַ֤ף גַּם הוּא֙ עַל שֹׂ֣נְאֵ֔ינוּ וְנִלְחַם בָּ֖נוּ וְעָלָ֥ה מִן הָאָֽרֶץ
