ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૮:૬
કેમ કે દરેક પ્રયોજનને માટે યોગ્ય પ્રસંગ અને ન્યાય હોય છે. કેમ કે માણસને માથે ભારે દુઃખ છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ८:६
क्योंकि हर एक विषय का समय और नियम होता है, यद्यपि मनुष्य का दुःख उसके लिये बहुत भारी होता है।

In context

4for the king’s word is supreme. Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

5Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

6For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.

7For he doesn’t know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

8There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.
