Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૯:૧૦
જે કંઈ કામ તારે હાથ લાગે તે સામર્થ્યથી કર, કારણ કે જે તરફ તું જાય છે તે શેઓલમાં કંઈ પણ કામ, યોજના, જ્ઞાન અથવા બુદ્ધિ નથી.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक ९:१०
जो काम तुझे मिले उसे अपनी शक्ति भर करना, क्योंकि अधोलोक में जहाँ तू जानेवाला है, न काम न युक्ति न ज्ञान और न बुद्धि है।

In context

8Let your garments be always white, and don’t let your head lack oil.

9Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

10Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

11I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

12For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.
