- મૂર્તિકારે મૂર્તિ ઘડી છે. માણસે બનાવેલી મૂર્તિઓથી તથા ઢાળેલી મૂર્તિઓ જે જુઠાણાનો શિક્ષક છે; તેઓનાથી તને શો ફાયદો છે? કેમ કે તે પોતાના હાથના કામ પર વિશ્વાસ કરીને આ મૂંગા દેવો બનાવે છે.
- हिन्दी — हबक्कूक २:१८
- खुदी हुई मूरत में क्या लाभ देखकर बनानेवाले ने उसे खोदा है? फिर झूठ सिखानेवाली और ढली हुई मूरत में क्या लाभ देखकर ढालनेवाले ने उस पर इतना भरोसा रखा है कि न बोलनेवाली और निकम्मी मूरत बनाए?
