Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.

Und ich sprach: Ich will euch nicht hüten; was da stirbt, das sterbe; was verschmachtet, das verschmachte; und die übrigen fresse ein jegliches des andern Fleisch!
Y dije: No os apacentaré; la que muriere, muera; y la que se perdiere, se pierda; y las que quedaren, que cada una coma la carne de su compañera.
Dije: «No los apacentaré más. La que haya de morir, que muera; la que haya de perecer, que perezca. Y las que queden, que cada una coma la carne de su compañera».
Et je dis: Je ne vous paîtrai plus! Que celle qui va mourir meure, que celle qui va périr périsse, et que celles qui restent se dévorent les unes les autres!
Ed io dissi: Io non vi pasturerò più; quella che muore muoia, quella che perisce perisca, e quelle che rimangono mangino la carne l’una dell’altra.
E eu disse: Não vos apascentarei mais; o que morrer, morra; e o que for destruído, seja destruído; e as que restarem comam cada uma a carne da outra.
我就說:「我不牧養你們。要死的,由他死;滅亡的,由他滅亡;剩餘的,由他們彼此吞食。」
