- ગુજરાતી — યશાયા ૨૯:૧૬
- તમે વસ્તુઓને ઊંધી સીધી કરો છો! શું કુંભાર માટીની બરાબર ગણાય, એવી રીતે કે, કૃત્યો પોતાના કર્તા વિષે કહે, “તેણે મને બનાવ્યો નથી,” અથવા જે વસ્તુની રચના થયેલી છે તે પોતાના રચનારને કહેશે કે, “તે મને સમજી શકતો નથી?”
- हिन्दी — यशायाह २९:१६
- तुम्हारी कैसी उलटी समझ है! क्या कुम्हार मिट्टी के तुल्य गिना जाएगा? क्या बनाई हुई वस्तु अपने कर्ता के विषय कहे “उसने मुझे नहीं बनाया,” या रची हुई वस्तु अपने रचनेवाले के विषय कहे, “वह कुछ समझ नहीं रखता?” (रोम. 9:20,21)
