But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

Denn die Gottlosen werden umkommen; und die Feinde des HERRN, wenn sie gleich sind wie köstliche Aue, werden sie doch vergehen, wie der Rauch vergeht.
Mas los impíos perecerán, Y los enemigos de Jehová como la grasa de los carneros Serán consumidos: se disiparán como humo.
Pero los malvados perecerán; los enemigos de Jehová, como la hermosura de los prados, se desvanecerán; como humo se desvanecerán.
Mais les méchants périssent, Et les ennemis de l'Eternel, comme les plus beaux pâturages; Ils s'évanouissent, ils s'évanouissent en fumée.
Ma gli empi periranno; Ed i nemici del Signore, come grasso d’agnelli, Saranno consumati, e andranno in fumo
Mas os ímpios perecerão, e os inimigos do SENHOR serão como a gordura dos cordeiros; desaparecerão, e em fumaça se desfarão.
惡人卻要滅亡。 耶和華的仇敵要像草地的華美 ; 他們要毀滅,在煙中消失 。
