- જુઓ, તમે ઝઘડા તથા કંકાસને માટે અને દુષ્ટતાની મુક્કી મારવા માટે ઉપવાસ કરો છો; તમારી વાણી આકાશમાં સંભળાય તે માટે તમે આજકાલ ઉપવાસ કરતા નથી.

- सुनो, तुम्हारे उपवास का फल यह होता है कि तुम आपस में लड़ते और झगड़ते और दुष्टता से घूँसे मारते हो। जैसा उपवास तुम आजकल रखते हो, उससे तुम्हारी प्रार्थना ऊपर नहीं सुनाई देगी।
