| 6 | Celui qui dans sa fureur frappait les peuples, Par des coups sans relâche, Celui qui dans sa colère subjuguait les nations, Est poursuivi sans ménagement. | He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. | that smote the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained. |
