- ગુજરાતી — આમોસ ૫:૧૧
- તમે ગરીબોને પગ તળે કચડો છો, અને તેઓની પાસેથી અનાજ પડાવી લો છો. તમે ઘડેલા પથ્થરોના ઘર તો બાંધ્યાં છે, પણ તેમાં તમે રહેવા નહિ પામો. તમે રમણીય દ્રાક્ષવાડીઓ રોપી છે, પણ તેનો દ્રાક્ષારસ તમે પીવા નહિ પામો.
- हिन्दी — आमोस ५:११
- तुम जो कंगालों को लताड़ा करते, और भेंट कहकर उनसे अन्न हर लेते हो, इसलिए जो घर तुम ने गढ़े हुए पत्थरों के बनाए हैं, उनमें रहने न पाओगे; और जो मनभावनी दाख की बारियाँ तुम ने लगाई हैं, उनका दाखमधु न पीने पाओगे।
