Ich bin euren Feiertagen gram und verachte sie und mag eure Versammlungen nicht riechen.
Aborrecí, abominé vuestras solemnidades, y no me darán buen olor vuestras asambleas.
«Aborrezco, rechazo sus fiestas; no me complaceré en sus asambleas.
Je hais, je méprise vos fêtes, Je ne puis sentir vos assemblées.
Io odio, io sdegno le vostre feste; e non odorerò più le vostre solenni raunanze.
Odeio, desprezo as vossas festas, e as vossas assembléias solenes não me exalarão bom cheiro.
「我厭惡你們的節期, 也不喜悅你們的嚴肅會。
