- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Omnes tenebræ absconditæ sunt in occultis ejus ; devorabit eum ignis qui non succenditur : affligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- πᾶν δὲ σκότος αὐτῷ ὑπομείναι· κατέδεται αὐτὸν πῦρ ἄκαυστον, κακώσαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπήλυτος τὸν οἶκον.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כָּל חֹשֶׁךְ֮ טָמ֪וּן לִצְפּ֫וּנָ֥יו תְּ֭אָכְלֵהוּ אֵ֣שׁ לֹֽא נֻפָּ֑ח יֵ֖רַע שָׂרִ֣יד בְּאָהֳלֽוֹ
Haydock's commentary
Darkness, or misery. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "Terrors upon him, (26) and all darkness may await him." (Haydock)
He shall find no means of escaping. (Calmet)
Kindled. Hebrew, "blown." St. Gregory observes that hell-fire is corporeal, but very different from our material fire. Chaldean, &c., explain this passage in the same sense. It may also intimate interior anguish, (Calmet) lightning, (Vatable) pestilence, (Grotius) and every species of calamity. (Calmet)
Tabernacle, in hell. (Menochius)
We may also translate, "he who is left," (Haydock) the offspring shall be also miserable. (Menochius)
