- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ne lætaris, Philisthæa omnis tu, quoniam comminuta est virga percussoris tui ; de radice enim colubri egredietur regulus, et semen ejus absorbens volucrem.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Μὴ εὐφρανθείητε, πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, συνετρίβη γὰρ ὁ ζυγὸς τοῦ παίοντος ὑμᾶς· ἐκ γὰρ σπέρματος ὄφεως ἐξελεύσεται ἔκγονα ἀσπίδων, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτῶν ἐξελεύσονται ὄφεις πετάμενοι.
- Hebrew (WLC)
