The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Der Hochmut deines Herzens hat dich betrogen, weil du in der Felsen Klüften wohnst, in deinen hohen Schlössern, und sprichst in deinem Herzen: Wer will mich zu Boden stoßen?
La soberbia de tu corazón te ha engañado, tú que moras en las hendiduras de las peñas, en tu altísima morada; que dices en tu corazón: ¿Quién me derribará a tierra?
L'orgueil de ton coeur t'a égaré, Toi qui habites le creux des rochers, Qui t'assieds sur les hauteurs, Et qui dis en toi-même: Qui me précipitera jusqu'à terre?
La superbia del cuor tuo ti ha ingannato, o tu che abiti nelle fessure delle rocce, che son l’alta tua stanza; che dici nel cuor tuo: Chi mi trarrà giù in terra?
A soberba do teu coração te enganou, como o que habita nas fendas das rochas, na sua alta morada, que diz no seu coração: Quem me derrubará em terra?
你狂傲的心欺騙了你, 你住在巖穴, 居所在高處, 心裏說: 「誰能把我拉下來到地上呢?」
