ગુજરાતીનાહૂમ ૨:૮
નિનવે પાણીના સરોવર જેવું છે, જેમ પાણી વહી જાય છે તેમ તેનાથી લોકો દૂર નાસી જાય છે. તેઓ પોકારે છે, “ઊભા રહો, ઊભા રહો,” પણ કોઈ પાછું ફરતું નથી.
हिन्दीनहूम २:८
नीनवे जब से बनी है, तब से तालाब के समान है, तो भी वे भागे जाते हैं, और “खड़े हो; खड़े हो”, ऐसा पुकारे जाने पर भी कोई मुँह नहीं मोड़ता।
