Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”

ગુજરાતીયોએલ ૨:૧૭
યાજકો, જેઓ યહોવાહના સેવકો છે, તેઓ પરસાળ અને વેદીની વચ્ચે રડો. તેઓ એમ કહે કે, હે યહોવાહ, તમારા લોકો પર દયા કરો, અને તમારા વારસાને બદનામ થવા ન દો, જેથી વિદેશીઓ તેમના પર રાજ ન કરે. દેશમાં એવું શા માટે કહેવા દેવામાં આવે કે, તેઓના ઈશ્વર કયાં છે?”
हिन्दीयोएल २:१७
याजक जो यहोवा के टहलुए हैं, वे आँगन और वेदी के बीच में रो रोकर कहें, “हे यहोवा अपनी प्रजा पर तरस खा; और अपने निज भाग की नामधराई न होने दे; न जाति-जाति उसकी उपमा देने पाएँ। जाति-जाति के लोग आपस में क्यों कहने पाएँ, ‘उनका परमेश्वर कहाँ रहा?’”
