- Decalvare, et tondere super filios deliciarum tuarum ; dilata calvitium tuum sicut aquila, quoniam captivi ducti sunt ex te.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ξύρησαι καὶ κεῖραι ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα τὰ τρυφερά σου, ἐνπλάτυνον τὴν χηρίαν σου ὡς ἀετός, ὅτι ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν ἀπὸ σοῦ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- קָרְחִ֣י וָגֹ֔זִּי עַל בְּנֵ֖י תַּעֲנוּגָ֑יִךְ הַרְחִ֤בִי קָרְחָתֵךְ֙ כַּנֶּ֔שֶׁר כִּ֥י גָל֖וּ מִמֵּֽךְ
