And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et scient gentes quoniam in iniquitate sua capta sit domus Israël, eo quod dereliquerint me, et absconderim faciem meam ab eis, et tradiderim eos in manus hostium, et ceciderint in gladio universi.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ γνώσονται πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὅτι διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἠθέτησαν ⸂⸆⸃ εἰς ἐμέ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέδωκα αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔπεσαν πάντες μαχαίρᾳ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְיָדְע֣וּ הַ֠גּוֹיִם כִּ֣י בַעֲוֺנָ֞ם גָּל֣וּ בֵֽית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל עַ֚ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר מָֽעֲלוּ בִ֔י וָאַסְתִּ֥ר פָּנַ֖י מֵהֶ֑ם וָֽאֶתְּנֵם֙ בְּיַ֣ד צָרֵיהֶ֔ם וַיִּפְּל֥וּ בַחֶ֖רֶב כֻּלָּֽם
Haydock's commentary
Sword. I could as easily have protected them against the Chaldeans as against this prince, if their sins had not been in the way. (Calmet)
These bring on the ruin of God's people more than the power of the enemy. (Worthington)
