નહિ તો કદાચ હું વધારે છલકાઈ જાઉં અને તમારો નકાર કરીને કહું કે, “ઈશ્વર તે વળી કોણ છે?” અથવા હું કદાચ ગરીબ થઈને ચોરી કરું અને મારા ઈશ્વરના નામની નિંદા કરું.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन ३०:९
ऐसा न हो कि जब मेरा पेट भर जाए, तब मैं इन्कार करके कहूँ कि यहोवा कौन है? या निर्धन होकर चोरी करूँ, और परमेश्वर के नाम का अनादर करूँ।
