ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૨૩:૪
હે સિદોન, તું લજ્જિત થા; કેમ કે સમુદ્ર એટલે સમુદ્રના સામર્થ્યવાન બોલ્યા છે. તે કહે છે, “મેં પ્રસવવેદના વેઠી નથી, મેં જન્મ આપ્યો નથી, જુવાનોને ઉછેર્યા નથી કે કન્યાઓને મોટી કરી નથી.”
हिन्दीयशायाह २३:४
हे सीदोन, लज्जित हो, क्योंकि समुद्र ने अर्थात् समुद्र के दृढ़ स्थान ने यह कहा है, “मैंने न तो कभी प्रसव की पीड़ा जानी और न बालक को जन्म दिया, और न बेटों को पाला और न बेटियों को पोसा है।”
