He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

"Er fährt leicht wie auf einem Wasser dahin; seine Habe wird gering im Lande, und er baut seinen Weinberg nicht.
Son instables más que la superficie de las aguas; Su porción es maldita en la tierra; No andarán por el camino de las viñas.
Es ligero sobre la superficie del agua; su porción en la tierra es maldita y no se dirige por el camino de las viñas.
Eh quoi! l'impie est d'un poids léger sur la face des eaux, Il n'a sur la terre qu'une part maudite, Il ne prend jamais le chemin des vignes!
Fuggono leggermente, come in su le acque; La lor parte è maledetta nella terra, Non riguardano alla via delle vigne.
É ligeiro sobre a superfície das águas; maldita é a sua parte sobre a terra; não volta pelo caminho das vinhas.
「惡人在水面上快速飄盪, 他們在地上所得的產業被詛咒; 無人再回到他們的葡萄園。
