- ἐρωτήσατε καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν, καὶ περὶ φόβου ἐν ᾧ καθέξουσιν ὀσφὺν καὶ σωτηρίαν· διότι ἑώρακα πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, ἐστράφησαν πρόσωπα, εἰς ἴκτερον ἐγενήθη.

Haydock's commentary
Bear. Literally, "beet," generat. But it has here the former signification, (Haydock) pariat. (Vatable)
Yellow. The Babylonians are in great anxiety. (Calmet)
