Wer darf denn sagen, daß solches geschehe ohne des HERRN Befehl
¿Quién será aquel que diga, que vino algo que el Señor no mandó?
¿Quién puede decir algo y que suceda, si el Señor no lo ha ordenado?
Qui dira qu'une chose arrive, Sans que le Seigneur l'ait ordonnée?
Chi è colui che abbia detta qualche cosa, e quella sia avvenuta, Che il Signore non l’abbia comandata?
Quem é aquele que diz, e assim acontece, quando o Senhor o não mande?
若非主發命令, 誰能說了就成呢?
