ગુજરાતીઆમોસ ૩:૧૨
યહોવાહ કહે છે કે; “જેમ ભરવાડ સિંહના મોંમાંથી, તેના શિકારના બે પગ કે કાનનો ટુકડો પડાવી લે છે , તેમ સમરુનમાં પલંગોના ખૂણા પર, તથા રેશમી ગાદલાના બિછાના પર બેસનાર ઇઝરાયલ લોકોમાંથી, કેટલાકનો બચાવ થશે.
हिन्दीआमोस ३:१२
यहोवा यह कहता है: “ जिस भाँति चरवाहा सिंह के मुँह से दो टाँगें या कान का एक टुकड़ा छुड़ाता है , वैसे ही इस्राएली लोग, जो सामरिया में बिछौने के एक कोने या रेशमी गद्दी पर बैठा करते हैं, वे भी छुड़ाए जाएँगे।”
