Sollte einer zum König sagen: "Du heilloser Mann!" und zu den Fürsten: "Ihr Gottlosen!"?
¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; Y a los príncipes: Impíos?
¿Se le dirá a un rey: “¡Inútil!”, y a los nobles: “¡Malvados!”?
Qui proclame la méchanceté des rois Et l'iniquité des princes,
Direbbesi egli ad un re: Scellerato? E a’ principi: Empio?
Ou dir-se-á a um rei: Oh! vil? Ou aos príncipes: Oh! ímpios?
你會對君王說:『你是卑鄙的』; 對貴族說:『你們是邪惡的』嗎?
