ગુજરાતીહોશિયા ૮:૭
કેમ કે લોકો પવન વાવે છે, અને વંટોળિયો લણશે, તેના કણસલામાંથી અનાજ નહિ મળે, તેની ઊપજમાંથી લોટ નીકળશે નહિ. જો કદાચ તેમાંથી કંઈ નીકળશે, તો વિદેશીઓ તેનો નાશ કરશે.
हिन्दीहोशे ८:७
वे वायु बोते हैं, और वे बवण्डर लवेंगे । उनके लिये कुछ खेत रहेगा नहीं न उनकी उपज से कुछ आटा होगा; और यदि हो भी तो परदेशी उसको खा डालेंगे।

In context

6For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

7For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

8Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.

9For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
