- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Cessaverunt fortes Babylonis a prælio ; habitaverunt in præsidiis : devoratum est robur eorum, et facti sunt quasi mulieres : incensa sunt tabernacula ejus, contriti sunt vectes ejus.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 28:30
- ἐξέλιπεν μαχητὴς Βαβυλῶνος τοῦ πολεμεῖν, καθήσονται ἐκεῖ ἐν περιοχῇ, ἐθραύσθη ἡ δυναστεία αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ γυναῖκες· ἐνεπυρίσθη τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῆς, συνετρίβησαν οἱ μοχλοὶ αὐτῆς.
- Hebrew (WLC)
