Hebrew אמן אמן אני אמר לך בהיותך צעיר לימים אתה חגרת את עצמך ותלך אל אשר חפצת והיה כאשר תזקן ופרשת כפיך ואחר יחגרך ונשאך אל אשר לא תחפץ׃
Greek αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτε ης νεωτερος εζωννυες σεαυτον και περιεπατεις οπου ηθελες οταν δε γηρασης εκτενεις τας χειρας σου και αλλος και οισει οπου ου θελεις
Latin Amen, amen dico tibi : cum esses junior, cingebas te, et ambulabas ubi volebas : cum autem senueris, extendes manus tuas, et alius te cinget, et ducet quo tu non vis.
KJV Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
