The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Sit homo ille ut sunt civitates quæ subvertit Dominus, et non pœnituit eum : audiat clamorem mane, et ululatum in tempore meridiano,
Septuagint (Swete)
ἔστω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὡς αἱ πόλεις ἃς κατέστρεψεν Κύριος ἐν θυμῷ καὶ οὐ μετεμελήθη, ἀκουσάτω κραυγῆς τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἀλαλαγμοῦ μεσημβρίας·
Hebrew (WLC)
וְהָיָה֙ הָאִ֣ישׁ הַה֔וּא כֶּֽעָרִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר הָפַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה וְלֹ֣א נִחָ֑ם וְשָׁמַ֤ע זְעָקָה֙ בַּבֹּ֔קֶר וּתְרוּעָ֖ה בְּעֵ֥ת צָהֳרָֽיִם

Haydock's commentary

Repented, his decree for the ruin of Sodom being fixed.

Noon. This is more extraordinary than at midnight. Let him always be terrified with dismal sounds. (Calmet)
