Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Nicht gut ist diese Sache, die du getan hast. So wahr Jehova lebt, ihr seid Kinder des Todes, weil ihr nicht gewacht habt über euren Herrn, über den Gesalbten Jehovas! Und nun sieh nach, wo der Speer des Königs ist und der Wasserkrug, die zu seinen Häupten waren.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Esto que has hecho, no está bien. Vive Jehová, que sois dignos de muerte, que no habéis guardado á vuestro señor, al ungido de Jehová. Mira pues ahora dónde está la lanza del rey, y la botija del agua que estaba á su cabecera.

Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Não é bom o que fizeste. Como vive Yahweh, tu mereces morrer, por não protegeres o teu mestre, o ungido de Yahweh. Agora, vê onde está a lança do rei, e a jarra de água que estavam ao lado de sua cabeça".
