But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

Aber Gott verschaffte einen Wurm des Morgens, da die Morgenröte anbrach; der stach den Rizinus, daß er verdorrte.
Mas Dios preparó un gusano al venir la mañana del día siguiente, el cual hirió a la calabacera, y secose.
Mais le lendemain, à l'aurore, Dieu fit venir un ver qui piqua le ricin, et le ricin sécha.
Ma il giorno seguente, all’apparir dell’alba, Iddio preparò un verme, il qual percosse il ricino, ed esso si seccò.
Mas Deus enviou um verme, no dia seguinte ao subir da alva, o qual feriu a aboboreira, e esta se secou.
次日黎明,上帝卻安排一條蟲來咬這蓖麻,以致枯乾。
