- ઈશ્વરના ઘરમાં તું જાય ત્યારે તારાં પગલાં સંભાળ કેમ કે મૂર્ખો ખોટા કામ કરે એવું તેઓ જાણતા નથી. તેથી તેમના યજ્ઞાર્પણ કરતાં શ્રવણ કરવા પાસે જવું તે વધારે ઉચિત છે.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ५:१
- जब तू परमेश्वर के भवन में जाए, तब सावधानी से चलना; सुनने के लिये समीप जाना मूर्खों के बलिदान चढ़ाने से अच्छा है; क्योंकि वे नहीं जानते कि बुरा करते हैं।
