ગુજરાતીહબાક્કુક ૧:૩
શા માટે તમે અન્યાયને મારી નજરમાં લાવો છો અને ખરાબ કાર્યો બતાવો છો? વિનાશ અને હિંસા મારી આગળ છે; ઝઘડા અને તકરારો ચાલે છે.
हिन्दीहबक्कूक १:३
तू मुझे अनर्थ काम क्यों दिखाता है? और क्या कारण है कि तू उत्पात को देखता ही रहता है? मेरे सामने लूट-पाट और उपद्रव होते रहते हैं; और झगड़ा हुआ करता है और वाद-विवाद बढ़ता जाता है।
