ગુજરાતીન્યાયાધીશો ૬:૩૧
યોઆશે તેની સામે ઊભા રહેલા સર્વ લોકોને કહ્યું, “શું તમે બઆલના પક્ષમાં બોલશો? કે શું તમે તેને બચાવશો? જે માણસ તેના પક્ષમાં વિવાદ કરે તે સવાર થતાં પહેલાં માર્યો જાય; જો બાલ દેવ હોય તો તે પોતે પોતાના પક્ષમાં બોલે, કેમ કે કોઈ એકે તેની વેદી તોડી પાડી છે.”
हिन्दीन्यायियों ६:३१
योआश ने उन सभी से जो उसके सामने खड़े हुए थे कहा, “क्या तुम बाल के लिये वाद विवाद करोगे? क्या तुम उसे बचाओगे? जो कोई उसके लिये वाद विवाद करे वह मार डाला जाएगा। सवेरे तक ठहरे रहो; तब तक यदि वह परमेश्वर हो, तो जिसने उसकी वेदी गिराई है उससे वह आप ही अपना वाद विवाद करे।”
