Plantarás viñedos y los cultivarás, pero no beberás vino ni recogerás uvas, porque el gusano se las comerá.
Tu planteras des vignes et tu les cultiveras; et tu ne boiras pas de vin et tu ne feras pas de récolte, car les vers la mangeront.
Tu pianterai vigne, e le lavorerai, e non ne berrai il vino, anzi non pure ne coglierai il frutto; perciocchè i vermini lo mangeranno.
Plantarás vinhas, e cultivarás; porém não beberás vinho, nem colherás as uvas; porque o bicho as colherá.
