ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૧૨:૩
પણ હે યહોવાહ, તમે મને જાણો છો અને મને જુઓ છો અને તમે મારા અંત:કરણને પારખો છો. તેઓને ઘેટાંની પેઠે કાપવા માટે કાઢો. તથા હિંસાના દિવસને સારુ તૈયાર કરો.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह १२:३
हे यहोवा तू मुझे जानता है; तू मुझे देखता है, और तूने मेरे मन की परीक्षा करके देखा कि मैं तेरी ओर किस प्रकार रहता हूँ। जैसे भेड़-बकरियाँ घात होने के लिये झुण्ड में से निकाली जाती हैं, वैसे ही उनको भी निकाल ले और वध के दिन के लिये तैयार कर। (भज. 17:3)

In context

1You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would like to plead a case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

2You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

3But you, LORD, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

4How long will the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals and birds are consumed; because they said, “He won’t see our latter end.”

5“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
