Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

Darüber muß ich klagen und heulen, ich muß beraubt und bloß dahergehen; ich muß klagen wie die Schakale und trauern wie die Strauße.
Por tanto lamentaré y aullaré, y andaré despojado y desnudo; haré gemido como de chacales, y lamento como de avestruces.
Por eso haré duelo y gemiré; andaré descalzo y desnudo. Haré lamento como los chacales y duelo como los avestruces.
C'est pourquoi je pleurerai, je me lamenterai, Je marcherai déchaussé et nu, Je pousserai des cris comme le chacal, Et des gémissements comme l'autruche.
Perciò, io lamenterò, ed urlerò; io andrò spogliato e nudo; io farò un lamento, gridando come gli sciacalli; e un cordoglio, urlando come l’ulule.
Por isso lamentarei, e gemerei, andarei despojado e nu; farei lamentação como de chacais, e pranto como de avestruzes.
為此我要大聲哀號, 赤身赤腳行走; 我要呼號如野狗, 哀鳴如鴕鳥。
