РСП (66 кн.) И стало у них словом Господа: заповедь на заповедь, заповедь на заповедь, правило на правило, правило на правило, тут немного, там немного, — так что они пойдут, и упадут навзничь, и разобьются, и попадут в сеть и будут уловлены.

НРП И стало у них слово Господне: «Повеление на повеление, правило на правило; здесь чуть-чуть, там чуть-чуть», чтобы им пойти, упасть назад и покалечиться, попасть в западню и быть схваченными.

Заокская (Кулаков) Для них слово Господне — бессвязный детский лепет, бурчание и бормотание, слов обрывки то тут, то там. И потому, когда встанут они и пойдут, вдруг упадут навзничь и разобьются, в сетях запутаются, пойманы будут.

ВП Теперь слово Вечного для них будет: «Повеление-мовеление, правило-мравило, здесь чуть-чуть, там чуть-чуть», чтобы им пойти, упасть навзничь и покалечиться, попасть в западню и быть схваченными.

СП (БЛ) И слова Божьи были для них словно бессмысленная болтовня: «Сав-ласав, сав-ласав, кав-лакав, кав-лакав, зеер-шам, зеер-шам». Когда люди попытаются сделать несколько шагов, они упадут и будут повержены, схвачены и взяты в плен.
