- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et cadet Assur in gladio non viri, et gladius non hominis vorabit eum : et fugiet non a facie gladii, et juvenes ejus vectigales erunt.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ πεσεῖται Ἀσσούρ· οὐ μάχαιρα ἀνδρὸς οὐδὲ μάχαιρα ἀνθρώπου καταφάγεται αὐτόν, καὶ φεύξεται οὐκ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας· οἱ δὲ νεανίσκοι ἔσονται εἰς ἥττημα,
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְנָפַ֤ל אַשּׁוּר֙ בְּחֶ֣רֶב לֹא אִ֔ישׁ וְחֶ֥רֶב לֹֽא אָדָ֖ם תֹּֽאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ וְנָ֥ס לוֹ֙ מִפְּנֵי חֶ֔רֶב וּבַחוּרָ֖יו לָמַ֥ס יִהְיֽוּ
Haydock's commentary
Flee not. Hebrew, "flee to himself," lo. Septuagint and Vulgate have read la, "not." The angel destroyed the army, and the king was slain at his return.
Tributaries. Ninive being afterwards subject to the Chaldeans, &c. (Calmet)
Hebrew, "shall melt." (Vatable)
