8 May his days be few;

may another take his place of leadership.

8 May his days be few;

may another take his office!

8 Let his days be few; And let another take his office.

8 Let his years be few;

let someone else take his position.

8 Let his life be cut short,

and let another man replace him as leader.

8 Let his days be few;

And let another take his office.

8 Let his days be few, let another take his office;

8 Let his days be few ⸤in number⸥. 

Let someone else take his position. 

8 Let his days be few;

let another take over his position.

8 May his days be few;

may another seize his position.

8 Let his days be few;

let another take his office.

8 May their days be few.

Let others take their places as leaders.

8 Let his days be few;

Let another take his office.
