有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，

有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，

有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，

它们有口不能言，有眼不能看，

它们有口，却不能说话；有眼，却不能看；

它们有嘴却不能说，有眼却不能看；

有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，

有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，

有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，

它們有口不能言，有眼不能看，

它們有口，卻不能說話；有眼，卻不能看；

他們有口、卻不能說話；有眼、卻不能看；

它們有嘴卻不能說，有眼卻不能看；

有口不言、有目不見、

有口不言、有目不睹兮、

有口不能言、有目不能視、

口不能言。耳不能聽。

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,

They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
