This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?

Here’s something else that is very evil. Everyone is born, and everyone dies. And what do they get for their work? Nothing. It’s like working for the wind.

This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what gain is there to him who toils for the wind?

And this, too, is a very serious problem. People leave this world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for nothing— like working for the wind.

This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain who struggles for the wind?

擾害己家的，必承受虛空；愚妄人作心中有智慧者的僕人。

人一切的勞碌，就是他在日光之下的勞碌，有甚麼益處呢？

他們所栽種的是風，所收割的是暴風；禾稼不長穗，無以製成麵粉；即便製成，外邦人也必吞吃它。

人就是賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有甚麼益處呢？

我們曾懷孕，曾疼痛，所生產的竟像風一樣，並未帶給地上任何拯救；世上也未曾有居民生下來。

祭司從來不問：『耶和華在哪裏呢？』傳講律法的不認識我，官長違背我，先知藉巴力說預言，隨從無益的東西。」
