die ihr das Recht in Wermut verkehrt und die Gerechtigkeit zu Boden stoßt.
Los que convierten en ajenjo el juicio, y dejan en tierra la justicia,
O vous qui changez le droit en absinthe, Et qui foulez à terre la justice!
o voi, che mutate il giudicio in assenzio, e lasciate in terra la giustizia!
Vós que converteis o juízo em alosna, e deitais por terra a justiça.
你們這使公平變為茵蔯, 將公義丟棄於地的人哪!
