ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૬:૧૦
હાલ જે કંઈ છે તેનું નામ પહેલેથી પાડવામાં આવ્યું છે. તે મનુષ્ય છે એ વાત જાણવામાં આવેલી છે. જે તેના કરતાં વધારે બળવાન છે તેની સામે તે બાથ ભીડી શકતો નથી.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ६:१०
जो कुछ हुआ है उसका नाम युग के आरम्भ से रखा गया है, और यह प्रगट है कि वह आदमी है, कि वह उससे जो उससे अधिक शक्तिमान है झगड़ा नहीं कर सकता है।

In context

8For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?

9Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

10Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

11For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?

12For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
