ગુજરાતીહોશિયા ૧૩:૮
જેનાં બચ્ચાં છીનવી લેવાયાં હોય તેવી રીંછણની જેમ હું તેઓના પર હુમલો કરીશ; હું તેઓની છાતી ચીરી નાખીશ, ત્યાં સિંહની જેમ હું તેઓનો ભક્ષ કરીશ. જંગલી પશુઓ તેઓને ફાડી નાખશે.
हिन्दीहोशे १३:८
मैं बच्चे छीनी हुई रीछनी के समान बनकर उनको मिलूँगा, और उनके हृदय की झिल्ली को फाड़ूँगा, और सिंह के समान उनको वहीं खा डालूँगा, जैसे वन-पशु उनको फाड़ डाले।
