The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur : et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 31:9
δότε σημεῖα τῇ Μωάβ, ὅτι ἁφῇ ἁφθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς εἰς ἄβατον ἔσονται· πόθεν ἔνοικος αὐτῇ;
Hebrew (WLC)
תְּנוּ צִ֣יץ לְמוֹאָ֔ב כִּ֥י נָצֹ֖א תֵּצֵ֑א וְעָרֶ֨יהָ֙ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה תִֽהְיֶ֔ינָה מֵאֵ֥ין יוֹשֵׁ֖ב בָּהֵֽן

Haydock's commentary

Flower: an usual ceremony at funerals. (Cornelius a Lapide) (Menochius)

Manibus date lilia plenis. (Virgil, Æneid vi.)

Hebrew, "wings." Protestants, "signs." Septuagint, (Haydock) "that they may know how to return." Let Moab flee. (Calmet)
