ગુજરાતીહબાક્કુક ૨:૮
કેમ કે તેં ઘણાં પ્રજાઓને લૂંટ્યા છે, તેથી તે બાકી રહેલા લોકો તને લૂંટશે, માણસોના રક્તપાત અને દેશમાં થતી હિંસાને લીધે નગર તથા તેના સર્વ રહેવાસીઓને લૂંટી લેવાશે.
हिन्दीहबक्कूक २:८
और क्या तू उनसे लूटा न जाएगा? तूने बहुत सी जातियों को लूट लिया है, इसलिए सब बचे हुए लोग तुझे भी लूट लेंगे। इसका कारण मनुष्यों की हत्या है, और वह उपद्रव भी जो तूने इस देश और राजधानी और इसके सब रहनेवालों पर किया है।
