Ich sprach: Mein Vermögen ist dahin und meine Hoffnung auf den HERRN.
Y dije: Pereció mi fortaleza, y mi esperanza de Jehová.
Y dije: «Se han acabado mis fuerzas y mi esperanza en Jehová».
Et j'ai dit: Ma force est perdue, Je n'ai plus d'espérance en l'Eternel!

Então disse eu: Já pereceu a minha força, como também a minha esperança no SENHOR.
於是我說:「我的力量衰敗, 在耶和華那裏我毫無指望!」
