ગુજરાતી — સભાશિક્ષક ૭:૮: કોઈ બાબતના આરંભ કરતાં તેનો અંત સારો છે, અને અભિમાની મનુષ્ય કરતાં ધૈર્યવાન મનવાળો મનુષ્ય સારો છે.
हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ७:८: किसी काम के आरम्भ से उसका अन्त उत्तम है; और धीरजवन्त पुरुष अहंकारी से उत्तम है।

6For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

7Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

8Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

10Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.
