Aber unsre Väter wurden stolz und halsstarrig, daß sie deinen Geboten nicht gehorchten,
Mas ellos y nuestros padres hicieron soberbiamente, y endurecieron su cerviz, y no escucharon tus mandamientos,
Pero ellos y nuestros padres actuaron con soberbia, endurecieron su cuello y no escucharon tus mandamientos.
Mais nos pères se livrèrent à l'orgueil et raidirent leur cou. Ils n'écoutèrent point tes commandements,
Ma essi e i padri nostri procedettero superbamente, e indurarono il lor collo, e non ubbidirono a’ tuoi comandamenti;
Porém eles e nossos pais se houveram soberbamente, e endureceram a sua cerviz, e não deram ouvidos aos teus mandamentos.
「『但我們的祖先行事狂傲,硬著頸項不聽從你的誡命。
