Das Gras verdorrt, die Blume verwelkt; aber das Wort unsres Gottes bleibt ewiglich.
Sécase la hierba, cáese la flor: mas la palabra del Dios nuestro permanece para siempre.
La hierba se seca, la flor se marchita, pero la palabra de nuestro Dios permanece para siempre.
L'herbe sèche, la fleur tombe; Mais la parole de notre Dieu subsiste éternellement.
Il fieno si secca, il fiore si appassa; ma la parola di Dio dimora in eterno
Seca-se a erva, e cai a flor, porém a palavra de nosso Deus subsiste eternamente.
草必枯乾,花必凋謝, 惟有我們上帝的話永遠立定。
