und sitzen gern obenan in den Schulen und über Tisch beim Gastmahl;
Y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y los primeros asientos en las cenas;
qui recherchent les premiers sièges dans les synagogues, et les premières places dans les festins;
ed i primi seggi nelle raunanze, ed i primi luoghi ne’ conviti.
E das primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas, e dos primeiros assentos nas ceias;
又喜愛會堂裏的高位,宴席上的首座。
