Vulgate (Clementine): Quia infirmata est in bonum, quæ habitat in amaritudinibus ; quia descendit malum a Domino in portam Jerusalem.
Septuagint (Swete): τίς ἤρξατο εἰς ἀγαθὰ κατοικούσῃ ὀδύνας; ὅτι κατέβη κακὰ παρὰ Κυρίου ἐπὶ πύλας Ἰερουσαλήμ,
Hebrew (WLC): כִּֽי חָ֥לָֽה לְט֖וֹב יוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת מָר֑וֹת כִּֽי יָ֤רַד רָע֙ מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה לְשַׁ֖עַר יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם

Haydock's commentary

Weak, &c. Jerusalem is become weak unto any good; because she dwells in the bitterness of sin. (Challoner)

Protestants, "the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good." (Haydock)

We know not of any place called Maroth. Grotius would substitute Ramoth. (Calmet)

Bitterness. St. Jerome, "Maroth." Symmachus, "provoking to bitterness." They are unable to defend their possessions. (Haydock)
