(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

(deren die Welt nicht wert war), und sind im Elend umhergeirrt in den Wüsten, auf den Bergen und in den Klüften und Löchern der Erde.
De los cuales el mundo no era digno; perdidos por los desiertos, por los montes, por las cuevas y por las cavernas de la tierra.
El mundo no era digno de ellos. Anduvieron errantes por desiertos, montañas, cuevas y cavernas de la tierra.
eux dont le monde n'était pas digne, errants dans les déserts et les montagnes, dans les cavernes et les antres de la terre.
maltrattati de’ quali non era degno il mondo, erranti in deserti, e monti, e spelonche, e nelle grotte della terra.
(Dos quais o mundo não era digno), errantes pelos desertos, e montes, e pelas covas e cavernas da terra.
這世界配不上他們,他們在曠野、山嶺、山洞、地穴,飄流無定。
