Söhne und Töchter wirst du zeugen, und doch nicht haben; denn sie werden gefangen weggeführt werden.
Hijos e hijas engendrarás, y no serán para ti; porque irán en cautiverio.
Tu engendreras des fils et des filles; et ils ne seront pas à toi, car ils iront en captivité.
Tu genererai figliuoli e figliuole, ma non saranno tuoi; perciocchè andranno in cattività.
Filhos e filhas gerarás; porém não serão para ti; porque irão em cativeiro.
你生兒育女,卻不屬於你,因為他們必被擄去。
