- તેથી મેં જાણ્યું કે મૃત્યુ કરતાં પણ એક વસ્તુ વધારે કષ્ટદાયક છે, તે એ છે કે જેનું અંત:કરણ ફાંદા તથા જાળરૂપ છે તથા જેના હાથ બંધન સમાન છે તેવી સ્ત્રી. જે કોઈ ઈશ્વરને પ્રસન્ન કરે છે તે તેનાથી નાસી છૂટશે, પરંતુ પાપી તેની જાળમાં સપડાઈ જશે.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ७:२६
- और मैंने मृत्यु से भी अधिक दुःखदाई एक वस्तु पाई, अर्थात् वह स्त्री जिसका मन फंदा और जाल है और जिसके हाथ हथकड़ियाँ है; जिस पुरुष से परमेश्वर प्रसन्न है वही उससे बचेगा, परन्तु पापी उसका शिकार होगा।
