Der Fremdling, der bei dir ist, wird über dich steigen und immer oben schweben; du aber wirst heruntersteigen und immer unterliegen.
El extranjero que estará en medio de ti subirá sobre ti muy alto, y tú serás puesto muy bajo.
El extranjero que viva en medio de ti se elevará cada vez más sobre ti, y tú descenderás cada vez más.
L'étranger qui sera au milieu de toi s'élèvera toujours plus au-dessus de toi, et toi, tu descendras toujours plus bas;
Il forestiere che sarà nel mezzo di te sarà innalzato ben alto sopra te, e tu sarai abbassato ben basso.
O estrangeiro, que está no meio de ti, se elevará muito sobre ti, e tu mais baixo descerás;
在你中間寄居的必上升高過你,高而又高;你必下降,低而又低。
