Zeg: kwaad en goed zullen niet gelijk geschat worden, ofschoon de overvloed van kwaad u behaagt. Vreest dus God, gij die verstand hebt, opdat gij gelukkig moogt zijn.

Di’ loro: Il buono ed il cattivo non saranno di prezzo eguale, benchè l’abbondanza di ciò che è cattivo vi piaccia. O uomini di buon senso, temete Dio, e sarete felici.
