- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus et ericius ; ibis et corvus habitabunt in ea : et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum, et perpendiculum in desolationem.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ὄρνεα καὶ ἐχῖνοι καὶ εἴβεις καὶ κόρακες κατοικήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐπιβληθήσεται ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν σπαρτίον γεωμετρίας ἐρήμου, καὶ ὀνοκένταυροι οἰκήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וִירֵשׁ֨וּהָ֙ קָאַ֣ת וְקִפּ֔וֹד וְיַנְשׁ֥וֹף וְעֹרֵ֖ב יִשְׁכְּנוּ בָ֑הּ וְנָטָ֥ה עָלֶ֛יהָ קַֽו תֹ֖הוּ וְאַבְנֵי בֹֽהוּ
