- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Filii Aradii cum exercitu tuo erant super muros tuos in circuitu : sed et Pigmæi qui erant in turribus tuis, pharetras suas suspenderunt in muris tuis per gyrum : ipsi compleverunt pulchritudinem tuam.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- υἱοὶ Ἀραδίων καὶ ἡ δύναμίς σου ἐπὶ τῶν τειχέων σου· φύλακες ἐν τοῖς πύργοις σου ἦσαν, τὰς φαρέτρας αὐτῶν ἐκρέμασαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὅρμων σου κύκλῳ· οὗτοι ἐτελείωσάν σου τὸ κάλλος.

Haydock's commentary
The Pygmeans. That is, strong and valiant men. In Hebrew Gammadim. (Challoner)
He does not speak of those fabulous men hardly a cubit high. Gomed signifying a "cubit," has caused them to be styled so here. Septuagint, "guards;" or Symmachus, "Medes." Ezechiel (xxxviii. 6.) speaks of the Gomerim.
