- જો ગરીબો પર થતા અત્યાચાર અને દેશમાં ન્યાયને ઊંધા વાળતા તું જુએ તો તે વાતથી આશ્ચર્ય પામીશ નહિ, કેમ કે ઉચ્ચ કરતાં જે સર્વોચ્ચ છે તે લક્ષ આપે છે.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ५:८
- यदि तू किसी प्रान्त में निर्धनों पर अंधेर और न्याय और धर्म को बिगड़ता देखे, तो इससे चकित न होना; क्योंकि एक अधिकारी से बड़ा दूसरा रहता है जिसे इन बातों की सुधि रहती है, और उनसे भी और अधिक बड़े रहते हैं।
