Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und in seiner Mitte werden Herden sich lagern, allerlei Tiere in Menge; auch Pelikane, auch Igel werden auf seinen Säulenknäufen übernachten. Eine Stimme singt im Fenster, Trümmer sind auf der Schwelle, denn er hat das Zederngetäfel bloßgelegt.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y rebaños de ganado harán en ella majada, todas las bestias de las gentes; el onocrótalo también y el erizo dormirán en sus umbrales: su voz cantará en las ventanas; asolación será en las puertas, porque su enmaderamiento de cedro será descubierto.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
E no meio dela os rebanhos de gado se deitarão, todas os animais das nações; também o corvo a coruja passarão a noite em seus pilares; sua voz se ouvirá nas janelas; assolação será nos umbrais, porque sua estrutura de cedro estará descoberta.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Então, rebanhos descansarão lá, todos os animais das nações, tanto o pelicano como o ouriço, descansarão no topo de suas colunas. Suas vozes soarão na janela, e entulho estará nas portas; suas vigas de cedro entalhado serão expostas.

15This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
