Steh ab vom Zorn und laß den Grimm, erzürne dich nicht, daß du nicht auch übel tust.
Déjate de la ira, y depón el enojo: No te excites en manera alguna a hacer lo malo.
Deja la ira y abandona el furor; no te irrites, pues eso solo lleva al mal.
Laisse la colère, abandonne la fureur; Ne t'irrite pas, ce serait mal faire.
Rimanti dell’ira, e lascia il cruccio; Non isdegnarti, sì veramente, che tu venga a far male.
Deixa a ira, e abandona o furor; não te indignes de forma alguma para fazer o mal.
當止住怒氣,離棄憤怒; 不要心懷不平,以致作惡。
