- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et ponam oculos meos super eos ad placandum, et reducam eos in terram hanc : et ædificabo eos, et non destruam : et plantabo eos, et non evellam.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ στηριῶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀγαθά, καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην εἰς ἀγαθά· καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ καθελῶ αὐτούς, καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκτίλω.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְשַׂמְתִּ֨י עֵינִ֤י עֲלֵיהֶם֙ לְטוֹבָ֔ה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֖ים עַל הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֑את וּבְנִיתִים֙ וְלֹ֣א אֶהֱרֹ֔ס וּנְטַעְתִּ֖ים וְלֹ֥א אֶתּֽוֹשׁ
Haydock's commentary
Up, till the Messias appear, and the true Israel of God, his disciples, to whom the promises chiefly pertain. They will continue for ever. If this answer does not give satisfaction, as it ought, we may say that the Jews did not comply with the condition, and were therefore abandoned to the Romans. (Calmet)
