诅咒不会无故临到，正如麻雀掠过，燕子翻飞。

诅咒不会无故临到，正如麻雀掠过，燕子翻飞。

麻雀翻飞，燕子翱翔，咒诅不会无端降临。

麻雀怎样飞来飞去，燕子怎样翻飞；照样，无故的咒诅也不会临到人。

就像麻雀在翻飞，燕子在飞翔，无故的诅咒也不会降下。

麻雀往來，燕子翻飛；這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到。

麻雀怎樣飛來飛去，燕子怎樣翻飛；照樣，無故的咒詛也不會臨到人。

麻雀怎樣飛來飛去，燕子怎樣翻飛，無緣無故而發的咒詛也怎樣不會應驗。

就像麻雀在翻飛，燕子在飛翔，無故的詛咒也不會降下。

無故之詛、如雀之翔、如燕之飛、靡所棲止、

徒以言語咒詛者、必不降災、猶燕雀翱翔而不加害。

無故之詛言無驗、如燕雀飛過而不見、或作無故之詛言應於本身如燕雀飛回故巢
