Dieu est grand, mais sa grandeur nous échappe, Le nombre de ses années est impénétrable.
Ecco, Iddio è grande, e noi nol possiamo conoscere; E il numero de’ suoi anni è infinito.
Eis que Deus é grande, e nós não o compreendemos, e o número dos seus anos não se pode esquadrinhar.
看哪,上帝崇高,我們不能知道; 他的年數,不能測度。
