Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh,’ says the LORD, ‘but I will let you escape with your life wherever you go.’”

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૪૫:૫
“તું શું પોતાને માટે મહત્તા શોધે છે? તેવું કરીશ નહિ. કેમ કે, યહોવાહ કહે છે, હું મનુષ્ય પર વિપત્તિ લાવીશ. પણ તું જ્યાં જશે ત્યાં હું તારો જીવ લૂંટ તરીકે તને આપીશ.’”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ४५:५
इसलिए सुन, क्या तू अपने लिये बड़ाई खोज रहा है? उसे मत खोज; क्योंकि यहोवा की यह वाणी है, कि मैं सारे मनुष्यों पर विपत्ति डालूँगा; परन्तु जहाँ कहीं तू जाएगा वहाँ मैं तेरा प्राण बचाकर तुझे जीवित रखूँगा।”
