- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ecce ego creavi fabrum sufflantem in igne prunas, et proferentem vas in opus suum ; et ego creavi interfectorem ad disperdendum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἔκτισά σε, οὐχ ὡς χαλκεὺς φυσῶν ἄνθρακας καὶ ἐκφέρων σκεῦος εἰς ἔργον· ἐγὼ δὲ ἔκτισά σε οὐκ εἰς ἀπώλειαν φθεῖραι.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הן אָֽנֹכִי֙ בָּרָ֣אתִי חָרָ֔שׁ נֹפֵ֨חַ֙ בְּאֵ֣שׁ פֶּחָ֔ם וּמוֹצִ֥יא כְלִ֖י לְמַעֲשֵׂ֑הוּ וְאָנֹכִ֛י בָּרָ֥אתִי מַשְׁחִ֖ית לְחַבֵּֽל
