The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Der HERR ist geduldig und von großer Kraft, vor welchem niemand unschuldig ist; er ist der HERR, des Weg in Wetter und Sturm ist und Gewölke der Staub unter seinen Füßen,
Jehová es tardo para la ira, y grande en poder, y no tendrá al culpado por inocente. Jehová marcha entre la tempestad y turbión, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
Jehová es lento para la ira y grande en poder; de ningún modo deja sin castigo al culpable. Jehová avanza en el torbellino y en la tempestad, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
L'Eternel est lent à la colère, il est grand par sa force; Il ne laisse pas impuni. L'Eternel marche dans la tempête, dans le tourbillon; Les nuées sont la poussière de ses pieds.
Il Signore è lento all’ira, e grande in forza, e non tiene punto il colpevole per innocente; il camminar del Signore è con turbo, e con tempesta; e le nuvole sono la polvere de’ suoi piedi.
O SENHOR é tardio em irar-se, mas grande em poder, e ao culpado não tem por inocente; o SENHOR tem o seu caminho na tormenta e na tempestade, e as nuvens são o pó dos seus pés.
耶和華不輕易發怒,大有能力, 但耶和華萬不以有罪的為無罪。 他的道路在旋風和暴風之中, 雲彩為他腳下的塵土。
