- કેમ કે વિદ્રોહ એ જોષ જોવાના પાપ જેવો છે, હઠીલાઈ એ દુષ્ટતા તથા મૂર્તિપૂજા જેવી છે. કેમ કે તેં ઈશ્વરના શબ્દનો ઇનકાર કર્યો છે, માટે તેમણે પણ તને રાજપદેથી પડતો મૂક્યો છે.”
- हिन्दी — 1 शमूएल १५:२३
- देख, बलवा करना और भावी कहनेवालों से पूछना एक ही समान पाप है, और हठ करना मूरतों और गृहदेवताओं की पूजा के तुल्य है। तूने जो यहोवा की बात को तुच्छ जाना, इसलिए उसने तुझे राजा होने के लिये तुच्छ जाना है।”
