| Verse | Hebrew Bible | Septuagint | Vulgate |
| 17 | כִּי הִנְנִי מְשַׁלֵּחַ בָּכֶם, נְחָשִׁים צִפְעֹנִים, אֲשֶׁר אֵין-לָהֶם, לָחַשׁ; וְנִשְּׁכוּ אֶתְכֶם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω εἰς ὑμᾶς ὄφεις θανατοῦντας οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπᾷσαι καὶ δήξονται ὑμᾶς | quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos quibus non est incantatio et mordebunt vos ait Dominus |
