- ગુજરાતી — યર્મિયા ૧૭:૧૧
- જેમ તીતર પોતે મૂકેલાં નહી તેવાં ઈંડાંને સેવે છે, તેના જેવો અન્યાયથી દ્રવ્ય પ્રાપ્ત કરનાર છે; તેનું આયુષ્ય પૂર્ણ થતાં સુધી તે દ્રવ્ય છોડીને જશે અને અંતે તે મૂર્ખ ઠરશે.”
- हिन्दी — यिर्मयाह १७:११
- जो अन्याय से धन बटोरता है वह उस तीतर के समान होता है जो दूसरी चिड़िया के दिए हुए अण्डों को सेती है, उसकी आधी आयु में ही वह उस धन को छोड़ जाता है, और अन्त में वह मूर्ख ही ठहरता है।
