Siehe, ich schlage meine Hände zusammen über den Geiz, den du treibst, und über das Blut, so in dir vergossen ist.
Y he aquí, que herí mi mano a causa de tu avaricia que cometiste, y a causa de tus sangres que fueron en medio de ti.
Por eso he golpeado mi palma a causa de las ganancias injustas que has obtenido y de la sangre derramada en medio de ti.
Voici, je frappe des mains à cause de la cupidité que tu as eue, et du sang qui a été répandu au milieu de toi.
Laonde ecco, io mi son battuto a palme, per la tua avarizia, che hai usata; e per lo tuo sangue che è stato in mezzo di te.
E eis que bati as mãos contra a avareza que cometeste, e por causa do sangue que houve no meio de ti.
「看哪,我因你所得不義之財和你們中間所流的血,就擊打手掌。
