G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 28,1
τούτους ἐγὼ γεννήτορας, τούτους ἀδελφούς, τούτους φίλους καὶ γνωστοὺς ἐκτησάμην· τῶν δέ ποτέ μου φίλων καὶ ἀδελφῶν Ἐμάκρυνα φυγαδεύων, καὶ ηὐλίσθην ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ προσδεχόμενος τὸν Θεόν, τὸν σώζοντά με ἀπὸ ὀλιγοψυχίας καὶ ἀπὸ καταιγίδος.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 451b1
Hos ego pro parentibus, hos pro fratribus, hos pro amicis et familiaribus habeo. Ab iis autem qui quondam amici mei ac fratres erant elongavi fugiens, et mansi in solitudine (Psal. LXII), Deum exspectans, qui salvum me fecit a pusillanimitate spiritus, et tempestate.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
Them have I gained for my fathers, my brothers, my friends and mine acquaintances. But from my former friends and brethren ‘I have got me away far off, and lodged in the wilderness’ waiting for the God, who saveth me from faintness of spirit, and from the stormy tempest.”
Keyser & Unger p. 6,1
En þer er til veralldarennar stunndit oc vilið þar til allan yðarn hug festa, þa vitið sannlega. at þer eroð fra þeim fagnaðe skildir er guð hevir sinum vinum til boðet. Nu vit þat vrugglega at enskisskonar þinsl ne dauði með þinum ognom oc grimleik ma mik fra skilia mins lavarðar vilia.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 10,1-11,1
Men (11,1) I, som længes efter Verden, og ville fæste hele Eders Sind dertil, I skulle sandelig vide, at I ere fjernede fra den Salighed, som Gud har forjættet sine Venner. Vid nu for vist, at intet Slags Pinsel eller Död med dine Trusler og din Grumhed kan fjerne mig fra min Herres Vilje!”
