Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

Durch sie loben wir Gott, den Vater, und durch sie fluchen wir den Menschen, die nach dem Bilde Gottes gemacht sind.
Con ella bendecimos al Dios y Padre, y con ella maldecimos a los hombres, los cuales son hechos a la semejanza de Dios.
Par elle nous bénissons le Seigneur notre Père, et par elle nous maudissons les hommes faits à l'image de Dieu.
Per essa benediciamo Iddio e Padre; e per essa malediciamo gli uomini, che son fatti alla simiglianza di Dio.
Com ela bendizemos a Deus e Pai, e com ela amaldiçoamos os homens, feitos à semelhança de Deus.
我們用舌頭頌讚我們的主—我們的天父,又用舌頭詛咒照著上帝形像被造的人。
