- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui, Juda : et secundum numerum viarum Jerusalem, posuisti aras confusionis, aras ad libandum Baalim.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ὅτι κατ᾽ ἀριθμὸν τῶν πόλεών σου ἦσαν θεοί σου, Ἰούδα, καὶ κατ᾽ ἀριθμὸν ἐξόδων τῆς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐτάξατε βωμοὺς θυμιᾷν τῇ Βάαλ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כִּ֚י מִסְפַּ֣ר עָרֶ֔יךָ הָי֥וּ אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ יְהוּדָ֑ה וּמִסְפַּ֞ר חֻצ֣וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֗ם שַׂמְתֶּ֤ם מִזְבְּחוֹת֙ לַבֹּ֔שֶׁת מִזְבְּח֖וֹת לְקַטֵּ֥ר לַבָּֽעַל
Haydock's commentary
Confusion. Thus he contemptuously denotes Baalim, chap. iii. 24. (Calmet)
Various idols were objects of adoration, (Haydock) so that no city or street, perhaps not any house, was pure, chap. vii. 18., and xliv. 17., Isaias lxv. 11., and Ezechiel xvi. 25.
