Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
sie sind wie eine gedrechselte Säule und reden nicht; sie werden getragen, denn sie gehen nicht. Fürchtet euch nicht vor ihnen; denn sie können nichts Böses tun, und Gutes zu tun steht auch nicht bei ihnen.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Como palma lo igualan, y no hablan; son llevados, porque no pueden andar. No tengáis temor de ellos; porque ni pueden hacer mal, ni para hacer bien tienen poder.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
São como espantalhos numa plantação, não podem falar; têm que ser levados, pois não podem andar. Não tenhais temor deles; pois nem podem fazer o mal, nem neles há capacidade de fazer o bem.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Esses ídolos são como espantalhos em um pepinal, pois eles também não podem dizer nada. Eles precisam ser carregados porque não podem andar. Não tenhais medo deles, pois eles não podem vos trazer o mal, nem são capazes de fazer qualquer coisa boa."

4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
