- Quomodo dicis : Non sum polluta ; post Baalim non ambulavi ? Vide vias tuas in convalle ; scito quid feceris : cursor levis explicans vias suas.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- πῶς ἐρεῖς Οὐκ ἐμιάνθην καὶ ὀπίσω τῆς Βάαλ οὐκ ἐπορεύθην; ἴδε τὰς ὁδούς σου ἐν τῷ πολυανδρίῳ, καὶ γνῶθι τί ἐποίησας. ὀψὲ φωνὴ αὐτῆς ὠλόλυξεν,
- Hebrew (WLC)
- אֵ֣יךְ תֹּאמְרִ֞י לֹ֣א נִטְמֵ֗אתִי אַחֲרֵ֤י הַבְּעָלִים֙ לֹ֣א הָלַ֔כְתִּי רְאִ֤י דַרְכֵּךְ֙ בַּגַּ֔יְא דְּעִ֖י מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑ית בִּכְרָ֥ה קַלָּ֖ה מְשָׂרֶ֥כֶת דְּרָכֶֽיהָ
