ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૩:૯
જે વિષે તે સખત પરિશ્રમ કરે છે તેથી માણસને શું ફળ પ્રાપ્ત થાય છે?
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ३:९
काम करनेवाले को अपने परिश्रम से क्या लाभ होता है?

In context

7a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

9What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

10I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

11He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
