- Vulgate (Clementine)
- et venistis, et stetistis coram me in domo hac, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, et dixistis : Liberati sumus, eo quod fecerimus omnes abominationes istas.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- τοῦ κακῶς εἶναι ὑμῖν, καὶ ἤλθετε καὶ ἔστητε ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ οὗ ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ, καὶ εἴπατε Ἀπεσχήμεθα τοῦ μὴ ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα ταῦτα.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וּבָאתֶ֞ם וַעֲמַדְתֶּ֣ם לְפָנַ֗י בַּבַּ֤יִת הַזֶּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִקְרָא שְׁמִ֣י עָלָ֔יו וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם נִצַּ֑לְנוּ לְמַ֣עַן עֲשׂ֔וֹת אֵ֥ת כָּל הַתּוֹעֵב֖וֹת הָאֵֽלֶּה
Haydock's commentary
Because. Hebrew also, "although," (Sa; Grotius) "to perform," (Chaldean; Montanus) or "by doing." God must surely approve of our conduct, since we are unmolested. (St. Thomas Aquinas; Lyranus)
But the Vulgate seems preferable, and the people attribute their success to idols, chap. xliv. 17., and 2 Paralipomenon xxviii. 23.
