- Vulgate (Clementine)
- qui consolamini in diis subter omne lignum frondosum, immolantes parvulos in torrentibus, subter eminentes petras ?
- Septuagint (Swete)
- οἱ παρακαλοῦντες τὰ εἴδωλα ὑπὸ δένδρα δασέα, σφάζοντες τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς φάραγξιν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν πετρῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הַנֵּֽחָמִים֙ בָּֽאֵלִ֔ים תַּ֖חַת כָּל עֵ֣ץ רַעֲנָ֑ן שֹׁחֲטֵ֤י הַיְלָדִים֙ בַּנְּחָלִ֔ים תַּ֖חַת סְעִפֵ֥י הַסְּלָעִֽים
Haydock's commentary
Comfort. Hebrew, "heat," abandoning yourselves to shameful excesses.
Torrents, to avoid being seen. Such sacrifices would have been incredible, if the Scriptures, and all history did not prove their existence, Deuteronomy xii. 31., and Wisdom xii. 3., and 4 Kings xxiii. 10.
