| Norwegian | Derfor, bi på mig, sier Herren, på den dag jeg reiser mig for å ta hærfang! For min dom er at jeg samler hedningefolk, sanker riker sammen, utøser min harme over dem, all min brennende vrede; for ved min nidkjærhets ild skal hele jorden bli fortært. |
| Portuguese | Portanto esperai-me a mim, diz o Senhor, no dia em que eu me levantar para o despojo; porque o meu intento é ajuntar nações e congregar reinos, para sobre eles derramar a minha indignação, e todo o ardor da minha ira; pois esta terra toda será consumida pelo fogo do meu zelo. |
