ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૫:૧૭
વળી તેનું સમગ્ર આયુષ્ય અંધકારમાં જાય છે, અને શોક, રોગ અને ક્રોધથી તે હેરાન થાય છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ५:१७
केवल इसके कि उसने जीवन भर अंधकार में भोजन किया, और बहुत ही दुःखित और रोगी रहा और क्रोध भी करता रहा?

In context

15As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

16This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

17All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.

18Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.

19Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
