23 kyonaki tum ne nashaman naheen par aavinashaee beej se parameshvar ke jeevate aur sada ttharanevale vachan ke dara naya janm paya haai.
24 kyonaki har aek praanee ghaas kee nain haai, aur us kee saree shaebha ghaas ke fool kee nain haai: ghaas sookh jatee haai, aur fool jhd jata haai.
25 parantu prabhu ka vachan yuganuyug sthiar rahega: aur yah hee susamachar ka vachan haai jo tumhen sunaya gaya tha..
