- ગુજરાતી — યશાયા ૪૪:૧૬
- તેનો અર્ધો ભાગ તે અગ્નિમાં બાળી નાખે છે, તેના ઉપર તે માંસ પકવે છે. તે ખાય છે અને તૃપ્ત થાય છે. વળી તે તાપે છે અને કહે છે, ‘વાહ! મને હુંફ મળી છે, મેં આગ જોઈ છે.”
- हिन्दी — यशायाह ४४:१६
- उसका एक भाग तो वह आग में जलाता और दूसरे भाग से माँस पकाकर खाता है, वह माँस भूनकर तृप्त होता; फिर तापकर कहता है, “अहा, मैं गर्म हो गया, मैंने आग देखी है!”
