For 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.Ecclesiastes 9:12 · WEB

- ગુજરાતી — સભાશિક્ષક ૯:૧૨
- કોઈ પણ મનુષ્ય પોતાનો સમય જાણતો નથી; કેમ કે જેમ માછલાં ક્રૂર જાળમાં સપડાઈ જાય છે, અને જેમ પક્ષીઓ ફાંદામાં ફસાય છે, તેમ જ ખરાબ સમય માણસો ઉપર એકાએક આવી પડે છે, અને તેમને ફસાવે છે.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ९:१२
- क्योंकि मनुष्य अपना समय नहीं जानता। जैसे मछलियाँ दुःखदाई जाल में और चिड़ियें फंदे में फँसती हैं, वैसे ही मनुष्य दुःखदाई समय में जो उन पर अचानक आ पड़ता है, फँस जाते हैं।
