- ઉન્નતિના સમયે આનંદ કર. પણ વિપત્તિકાળે વિચાર કર; ઈશ્વરે એ બન્નેને એકબીજાના સાથી બનાવ્યા છે. જેથી ભવિષ્યમાં શું થશે તેમાંનું કશું જ માણસ શોધી શકતો નથી.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ७:१४
- सुख के दिन सुख मान, और दुःख के दिन सोच; क्योंकि परमेश्वर ने दोनों को एक ही संग रखा है, जिससे मनुष्य अपने बाद होनेवाली किसी बात को न समझ सके।
