The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Et erit Idumæa deserta : omnis qui transibit per eam stupebit, et sibilabit super omnes plagas ejus.
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 29:18
καὶ ἔσται ἡ Ἰδουμαία εἰς ἄβατον, πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν συριεῖ.
Hebrew (WLC)
וְהָיְתָ֥ה אֱד֖וֹם לְשַׁמָּ֑ה כֹּ֚ל עֹבֵ֣ר עָלֶ֔יהָ יִשֹּׁ֥ם וְיִשְׁרֹ֖ק עַל כָּל מַכּוֹתֶֽהָ

Haydock's commentary

Desolate. The few who survived left their ancient territories, which are now a desert, like most of Stony Arabia. (Calmet)

Hiss, out of contempt. The punishment was so great as to excite surprise. (Worthington)
