Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? Is it as a bird died throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all the beasts of the earth, make haste to devour.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Numquid avis discolor hæreditas mea mihi ? numquid avis tincta per totum ? Venite, congregamini, omnes bestiæ terræ : properate ad devorandum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- μὴ σπήλαιον ὑαίνης ἡ κληρονομία μου ἐμοί, ἢ σπήλαιον κύκλῳ αὐτῆς; βαδίσατε συνάγετε πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ, καὶ ἐλθέτωσαν τοῦ φαγεῖν αὐτήν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הַעַ֨יִט צָב֤וּעַ נַחֲלָתִי֙ לִ֔י הַעַ֖יִט סָבִ֣יב עָלֶ֑יהָ לְכ֗וּ אִסְפ֛וּ כָּל חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה הֵתָ֥יוּ לְאָכְלָֽה
Haydock's commentary
As a. Septuagint, "a den of the hyena:" Alexandrian, "robbers." Grabe inserts, "or a den around it?" (Haydock)
They have read áuss, "a den," instead of hait, "a bird." Bochart, (iii. 11.) however, shews that the latter word denotes various wild beasts, and nearly follows the Septuagint. Though the inheritance be most charming, it shall not pass unpunished. (Calmet)
