ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૬:૨૦
શેબાથી લોબાન તથા દૂર દેશથી અગરુ મારી પાસે શા માટે લાવો છો? હું તમારા દહનીયાર્પણને માન્ય કરીશ નહિ. અને તમારાં બલિદાનોથી હું પ્રસન્ન થતો નથી.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ६:२०
मेरे लिये जो लोबान शेबा से, और सुगन्धित नरकट जो दूर देश से आता है, इसका क्या प्रयोजन है? तुम्हारे होमबलियों से मैं प्रसन्न नहीं हूँ , और न तुम्हारे मेलबलि मुझे मीठे लगते हैं।
