ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૯:૧૩
વળી મેં પૃથ્વી પર એક બીજી જ્ઞાનની બાબત જોઈ અને તે મને મોટી લાગી.

मैंने सूर्य के नीचे इस प्रकार की बुद्धि की बात भी देखी है, जो मुझे बड़ी जान पड़ी।

In context

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.

13I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.

14There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.

15Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
