उपदेशक 4:1
मैले फेरि यो पनि बुझे कि कसै सित नराम्रो ब्याहावार गरिन्छ। मैले उसको आँसु देखेको छु र फेरि यो पनि देखेको छु कि ती दुखीहरूलाई सान्तवना सम्म दिने पनि कोही हुँदैन। मैले बुझेको छु, कठोर मानिसहरू सित सम्पूर्ण शक्ति हुन्छ, र तिनीहरूले जसलाई क्षति पुर्याँउछन् उनीहरूलाई ढाडस दिने कोही पनि हुँदैन।
