Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.

Denn ihre Herren schlachten sie und halten's für keine Sünde, verkaufen sie und sprechen: Gelobt sei der HERR, ich bin nun reich! und ihre Hirten schonen ihrer nicht.
A las cuales mataban sus compradores, y no se tenían por culpables; y el que las vendía, decía: Bendito sea Jehová, que he enriquecido; ni sus pastores tenían piedad de ellas.
cuyos compradores lo matan sin tenerse por culpables, y cuyos vendedores dicen: “¡Bendito sea Jehová, porque me he enriquecido!”. Sus propios pastores no tienen compasión de él.
Ceux qui les achètent les égorgent impunément; Celui qui les vend dit: Béni soit l'Eternel, car je m'enrichis! Et leurs pasteurs ne les épargnent pas.
i cui comperatori le uccidono, e non ne son tenuti colpevoli; ed i cui venditori dicono: Benedetto sia il Signore; io son pure arricchito; ed i cui pastori non le risparmiano punto.
Cujos possuidores as matam, e não se têm por culpados; e cujos vendedores dizem: Louvado seja o SENHOR, porque tenho enriquecido; e os seus pastores não têm piedade delas.
買羊的宰了他們,卻不認為自己有罪;賣他們的也說:『耶和華是應當稱頌的,因我富足了。』牧養他們的並不憐憫他們。
