Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Jeg vil vise Min herlighet blant folkeslagene. Alle folkeslagene skal se dommene Jeg har felt, og hvordan Jeg straffer folket. Fra den dagen skal Israels folk kjenne at Jeg er Herren deres Gud. De folkeslagene som ikke kjenner Meg, skal forstå at Israels folk ble sendt i fangenskap på grunn av de onde handlingene de gjorde, og mangel på respekt for Herren. Fordi de var utro mot Meg, skjulte Jeg Meg for dem. Jeg lot dem bli overgitt til fiender, og de ble drept av dem. De har blitt straffet for motbydelige handlinger, og derfor har Jeg skjult Meg for dem.»
