ગુજરાતીએઝરા ૬:૧૨
જે રાજાઓ કે પ્રજાઓ યરુશાલેમના ઈશ્વરના સભાસ્થાનનો ફેરફાર કરવાનો કે વિનાશ કરવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરશે તેનો ઈશ્વર નાશ કરો. હું દાર્યાવેશ, તમને આ હુકમ કરું છું. તેનો ઝડપથી અમલ કરો!”
हिन्दीएज्रा ६:१२
परमेश्वर जिसने वहाँ अपने नाम का निवास ठहराया है, वह क्या राजा क्या प्रजा, उन सभी को जो यह आज्ञा टालने और परमेश्वर के भवन को जो यरूशलेम में है नाश करने के लिये हाथ बढ़ाएँ, नष्ट करे। मुझ दारा ने यह आज्ञा दी है फुर्ती से ऐसा ही करना।”
