- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Sanctificate super eam bellum : consurgite, et ascendamus in meridie : væ nobis, quia declinavit dies ; quia longiores factæ sunt umbræ vesperi !
- Septuagint (Swete)
- παρασκευάσασθε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον, ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν μεσημβρίας· οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, ὅτι κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα, ὃτι ἐκλείπουσιν αἱ σκιαὶ τῆς ἡμέρας.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- קַדְּשׁ֤וּ עָלֶ֨יהָ֙ מִלְחָמָ֔ה ק֖וּמוּ וְנַעֲלֶ֣ה בַֽצָּהֳרָ֑יִם א֥וֹי לָ֨נוּ֙ כִּי פָנָ֣ה הַיּ֔וֹם כִּ֥י יִנָּט֖וּ צִלְלֵי עָֽרֶב
Haydock's commentary
Prepare. Literally, "sanctify." Observe the usual formalities of demanding reparation, offering victims, &c. The Chaldeans thus encourage one another, and will allow themselves no rest day or night, ver. 5.
