- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Nolite rebelles esse contra Dominum : neque timeatis populum terræ hujus, quia sicut panem ita eos possumus devorare. Recessit ab eis omne præsidium : Dominus nobiscum est, nolite metuere.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου μὴ ἀποστάται γίνεσθε· ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ φοβηθῆτε τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς, ὅτι κατάβρωμα ἡμῖν ἐστίν· ἀφέστηκεν γὰρ ὁ καιρὸς ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν, ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν· μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτούς.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
To eat, or consume them, as easily as we devour a piece of bread. The expression is proverbial, Psalm xiii. 4.
All aid. Hebrew, "their shadow," which is taken in the same sense. Septuagint, "their time or opportunity is gone." The Rabbins refer this to holy Job, who, they say, died at this time. (Cornelius a Lapide)
He dwelt near the Jordan. (Pineda in Job.) (Chap. i. 1, and 27.
