ગુજરાતીયર્મિયાનો વિલાપ ૧:૫
નગરના શત્રુઓ તેના સત્તાધીશો થઈ ગયા; અને સમૃદ્ધ થયા. તેના અસંખ્ય પાપોના કારણે યહોવાહે તેને શિક્ષા કરીને તેને દુ:ખ દીધું છે. દુશ્મનો તેનાં બાળકોને ઢસડીને બંદીવાસમાં લઈ ગયા છે.
हिन्दीविलापगीत १:५
उसके द्रोही प्रधान हो गए, उसके शत्रु उन्नति कर रहे हैं, क्योंकि यहोवा ने उसके बहुत से अपराधों के कारण उसे दुःख दिया है; उसके बाल-बच्चों को शत्रु हाँक-हाँककर बँधुआई में ले गए।
