- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Numquid regnabis quoniam confers te cedro ? pater tuus numquid non comedit et bibit, et fecit judicium et justitiam tunc cum bene erat ei ?
- Septuagint (Swete)
- μὴ βασιλεύσεις, ὅτι σὺ παροξύνῃ ἐν Ἀχὰζ τῷ πατρί σου; οὐ φάγονται καὶ οὐ πίονται· βέλτιόν σε ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הֲתִֽמְלֹ֔ךְ כִּ֥י אַתָּ֖ה מְתַחֲרֶ֣ה בָאָ֑רֶז אָבִ֜יךָ הֲל֧וֹא אָכַ֣ל וְשָׁתָ֗ה וְעָשָׂ֤ה מִשְׁפָּט֙ וּצְדָקָ֔ה אָ֖ז ט֥וֹב לֽוֹ
