Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch

Bíblia Livre (BL)Português

Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Pois fomos vendidos, eu e meu povo, para sermos destruídos, mortos e aniquilados. Se nós tivéssemos apenas sido vendidos à escravidão, como escravos e escravas, eu teria permanecido em silêncio, pois nenhum sofrimento como esse justificaria perturbar o rei".
