Die Ungnade des Königs ist wie das Brüllen eines jungen Löwen; aber seine Gnade ist wie der Tau auf dem Grase.
Como el bramido del cachorro de león es la ira del rey; Y su favor como el rocío sobre la hierba.
La ira del rey es como rugido de león joven, y su favor, como rocío sobre la hierba.
La colère du roi est comme le rugissement d'un lion, Et sa faveur est comme la rosée sur l'herbe.
L’indegnazione del re è come il ruggito del leoncello; Ma il suo favore è come la rugiada sopra l’erba
Como o rugido do leão jovem é a indignação do rei, mas como o orvalho sobre a relva é a sua benevolência.
王的憤怒好像獅子吼叫; 他的恩惠卻如草上的甘露。
