I’ve seen what is done on this earth. All of it is meaningless. It’s like chasing the wind.

我见日光之下所做的一切事，都是虚空，都是捕风。

我见日光之下所发生的一切事，看哪，全是虚空，全是捕风。

我见日光之下所发生的一切事，看哪，全是虚空，全是捕风。

我见过在日光之下所做的一切事，看哪，全是虚空，全是捕风！

我見日光之下所做的一切事，都是虛空，都是捕風。

我見日下所為之事、悉屬虛空、莫非捕風、

天下之事、我已灼見、無非捕風捉影。

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless— like chasing the wind.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is futility and striving after wind.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all[ is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: Everything he has accomplished is futile– like chasing the wind!

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

But then I looked over everything my hands had done. I saw what I had worked so hard to get. And nothing had any meaning. It was like chasing the wind. Nothing was gained on this earth.

So I hated life. That’s because the work done on this earth made me sad. None of it has any meaning. It’s like chasing the wind.

God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness to the person who pleases him. But to a sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth. Then the sinner must hand it over to the one who pleases God. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

Being satisfied with what you have is better than always wanting more. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

I also saw that a person works hard and accomplishes a lot. But they do it only because they want what another person has. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

You have given me only a few days to live. My whole life doesn’t seem like anything to you. No one lasts any longer than a breath. This is true even for those who feel secure.People are only shadows as they go here and there. They rush around, but it doesn’t mean anything. They pile up wealth, but they don’t know who will finally get it.

Then I used my mind to understand what it really means to be wise. And I wanted to know what foolish pleasure is all about. But I found out that it’s also like chasing the wind.A lot of human wisdom leads to a lot of sorrow. More knowledge only brings more sadness.
