Sequences of approximations at two-, three-, and four-loop orders are very stable and give $\langle \bar q q \rangle^{1/3}_{n_f=2}(2\, {\rm GeV}) = -(0.833-0.845) \bar\Lambda_2 $, and $ \langle \bar q q \rangle^{1/3}_{n_f=3}(2\, {\rm GeV}) = -(0.814-0.838) \bar\Lambda_3 $ where the range is our estimated theoretical error and $\bar\Lambda_{n_f}$ the basic QCD scale in the $\rm \bar{MS}$-scheme. We compare those results with other recent determinations (from lattice calculations and spectral sum rules). %G English %L hal-01264155 %U https://hal.science/hal-01264155 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
