And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; |
those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, |
and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess; |
those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; |
And those who weep and mourn as though they were not weeping and mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not possess anything. |
and those who are weeping be as though they are not weeping, and those who are rejoicing as though not rejoicing, and those who are purchasing in the market place as though they did not possess anything, |
There is no time to indulge in sorrow, no time for enjoying our joys; those who buy have no time to enjoy their possessions, |
and those that mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who are glad as though they were not glad, and those who buy as though they did not own a thing, |
