And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

und entheiligt mich in meinem Volk um eine Handvoll Gerste und einen Bissen Brot, damit daß ihr die Seelen zum Tode verurteilt, die doch nicht sollten sterben, und verurteilt zum Leben, die doch nicht leben sollten, durch eure Lügen unter meinem Volk, welches gerne Lügen hört.
¿Y habéis de profanarme entre mi pueblo por puñados de cebada y por pedazos de pan, matando las almas que no mueren, y dando vida a las almas que no vivirán, mintiendo a mi pueblo que escucha la mentira?
Vous me déshonorez auprès de mon peuple Pour des poignées d'orge et des morceaux de pain, En tuant des âmes qui ne doivent pas mourir, Et en faisant vivre des âmes qui ne doivent pas vivre, Trompant ainsi mon peuple, qui écoute le mensonge.
E mi profanereste voi inverso il mio popolo, per delle menate d’orzo, e delle fette di pane; facendo morir le anime che non devono morire, e facendo viver l’anime che non devono vivere, mentendo al mio popolo, che ascolta la menzogna?
E vós me profanastes entre o meu povo, por punhados de cevada, e por pedaços de pão, para matardes as almas que não haviam de morrer, e para guardardes em vida as almas que não haviam de viver, mentindo assim ao meu povo que escuta a mentira?
你們為幾把大麥、幾塊餅,在我的百姓中褻瀆我,對那肯聽謊言的百姓說謊言,讓不該死的人死,讓不該活的人活。』」
