- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ λέγει Οὐκ ἔστιν φωνὴ ἐξαρχόντων κατ᾽ ἰσχὺν οὐδὲ φωνὴ ἐξαρχόντων τροπῆς· ἀλλὰ φωνὴν ἐξαρχόντων οἴνου ἐγὼ ἀκούω.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Cry, &c. Hebrew, "the cry answering strength....or....weakness," which the Vulgate elucidates.
Singers. Septuagint, "I hear the cry of those who contend for pre-eminence in wine," or over their cups. (Haydock)
