    Wir hängen die kleinen Diebe und ernennen die Großen in öffentliche Ämter.

    κρεμάμε τους μικροκλέφτες και διορίζουμε τους μεγάλους σε δημόσια αξιώματα.

    nous pendons les petits voleurs et nommons les grands à des fonctions publiques.

    impicchiamo i piccoli ladruncoli e nominiamo i grandi a cariche pubbliche.

    pendemus magnatis latrunculi constituat ad publicum officium.

    we hangen de kruimeldieven op en benoemen de groten in een openbaar ambt.

    мы вешаем мелких воров и назначаем великих на государственную должность.
