- Vulgate (Clementine)
- sed dicet : Non sum propheta : homo agricola ego sum, quoniam Adam exemplum meum ab adolescentia mea.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐρεῖ Οὐκ εἰμὶ προφήτης ἐγώ, διότι ἄνθρωπος ἐργαζόμενος τὴν γῆν ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος ἐγέννησέν με ἐκ νεότητός μου.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְאָמַ֕ר לֹ֥א נָבִ֖יא אָנֹ֑כִי אִישׁ עֹבֵ֤ד אֲדָמָה֙ אָנֹ֔כִי כִּ֥י אָדָ֖ם הִקְנַ֥נִי מִנְּעוּרָֽי
Haydock's commentary
Husbandman. Worldly occupations were incompatible with the office of prophets, 3 Kings xix 20., and Amos vii. 15., and Matthew iv. 20. The (Calmet) false (Haydock) prophets will become so odious, that people will excuse themselves from taking up the calling.
Example. I am condemned like him to labour, Genesis iii. 17. Septuagint, "a man begot me." Hebrew, "taught, or bought me, (Calmet) or caused me to work." (De Dieu)
