Wie ist das Gold so gar verdunkelt und das feine Gold so häßlich geworden und liegen Steine des Heiligtums vorn auf allen Gassen zerstreut!
¡Cómo se ha oscurecido el oro! ¡Cómo el buen oro se ha demudado! Las piedras del santuario están esparcidas por las encrucijadas de todas las calles.
¡Cómo se ha oscurecido el oro, cómo ha cambiado el oro fino! Las piedras sagradas están esparcidas en las esquinas de todas las calles.
Eh quoi! l'or a perdu son éclat! L'or pur est altéré! Les pierres du sanctuaire sont dispersées Aux coins de toutes les rues!
COME è oscurato l’oro, Ed ha mutato colore il buon oro fino, E sono le pietre del santuario state sparse In capo d’ogni strada!
COMO se escureceu o ouro! Como se mudou o ouro puro e bom! Como estão espalhadas as pedras do santuário sobre cada rua!
唉!黃金竟然無光! 純金竟然變色! 聖所的石頭散落在街上。
