- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Onager assuetus in solitudine, in desiderio animæ suæ attraxit ventum amoris sui : nullus avertet eam : omnes qui quærunt eam non deficient : in menstruis ejus invenient eam.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἐπλάτυνεν ἐφ᾽ ὕδατα ἐρήμου, ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις ψυχῆς αὐτῆς ἐπνευματοφορεῖτο, παρεδόθη. τίς ἐπιστρέψει αὐτήν; πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντες αὐτὴν οὐ κοπιάσουσιν, ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτῆς εὑρήσουσιν αὐτήν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- פֶּ֣רֶה לִמֻּ֣ד מִדְבָּ֗ר בְּאַוַּ֤ת נפשו שָׁאֲפָ֣ה ר֔וּחַ תַּאֲנָתָ֖הּ מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נָּה כָּל מְבַקְשֶׁ֨יהָ֙ לֹ֣א יִיעָ֔פוּ בְּחָדְשָׁ֖הּ יִמְצָאֽוּנְהָ
