- Vulgate (Clementine)
- quia decepistis animas vestras. Vos enim misistis me ad Dominum Deum nostrum, dicentes : Ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum, et juxta omnia quæcumque dixerit tibi Dominus Deus noster, sic annuntia nobis, et faciemus.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 49:20
- ὅτι ἐπονηρεύσασθε ἐν ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἀποστείλαντές με λέγοντες Πρόσευξαι περὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς Κύριον, καί Κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ σοι Κύριος ποιήσομεν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כִּ֣י התעתים בְּנַפְשֽׁוֹתֵיכֶם֒ כִּֽי אַתֶּ֞ם שְׁלַחְתֶּ֣ם אֹתִ֗י אֶל יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל בַּעֲדֵ֔נוּ אֶל יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וּכְכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֹאמַ֜ר יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵ֛ינוּ כֵּ֥ן הַגֶּד לָ֖נוּ וְעָשִֽׂינוּ
Haydock's commentary
Deceived. Septuagint, "done ill in your souls." Your intention was bad. You thought that I should speak conformably to your wishes. (Calmet)
He saw by the prophetic light, or by their deportment, that they were bent on going. (Haydock)
They were doubly guilty in neither observing their promise nor obeying God's decree. (Worthington)
