I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.

Ich habe dir's vorhergesagt, da es noch wohl um dich stand; aber du sprachst: "Ich will nicht hören." Also hast du dein Lebtage getan, daß du meiner Stimme nicht gehorchtest.
Hete hablado en tus prosperidades; mas dijiste: No oiré. Este fue tu camino desde tu juventud, que nunca oíste mi voz.
Te hablé en tu prosperidad, pero dijiste: “No escucharé”. Esta ha sido tu conducta desde tu juventud: no has escuchado mi voz.
Je t'ai parlé dans le temps de ta prospérité; Tu disais: Je n'écouterai pas. C'est ainsi que tu as agi dès ta jeunesse; Tu n'as pas écouté ma voix.
Io ti ho parlato nelle tue prosperità; ma tu hai detto: Io non ascolterò; questa è stata la tua usanza fin dalla tua fanciullezza, che tu non hai giammai ascoltata la mia voce.
Falei contigo na tua prosperidade, mas tu disseste: Não ouvirei. Este tem sido o teu caminho, desde a tua mocidade, pois nunca deste ouvidos à minha voz.
你興盛的時候,我對你說話; 你卻說:「我不聽。」 你從年輕時就是這樣, 不肯聽我的話。
