Hört dies, die ihr den Armen unterdrückt und die Elenden im Lande verderbt
Oíd esto, los que tragáis a los menesterosos, y arruináis los pobres de la tierra,
Escuchen esto, los que pisotean al necesitado y hacen desaparecer a los pobres de la tierra.
Ecoutez ceci, vous qui dévorez l'indigent, Et qui ruinez les malheureux du pays!
Ascoltate questo, voi che tranghiottite il bisognoso, e fate venir meno i poveri del paese;
Ouvi isto, vós que anelais o abatimento do necessitado; e destruís os miseráveis da terra,
你們這些踐踏貧窮人、 使這地困苦人衰敗的, 當聽這話!
