Der Tod nimmt weg, die da sündigen, wie die Hitze und Dürre das Schneewasser verzehrt.
La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; Y el sepulcro a los pecadores.
La sequía y el calor arrebatan el agua de la nieve; así el Seol arrebata a los que han pecado.
Comme la sécheresse et la chaleur absorbent les eaux de la neige, Ainsi le séjour des morts engloutit ceux qui pèchent!
La secchezza e il caldo involano le acque della neve; Così il sepolcro invola quelli che hanno peccato.
A secura e o calor desfazem as águas da neve; assim desfará a sepultura aos que pecaram.
乾旱炎熱融化雪水; 陰間也如此吞沒犯罪的人。
