For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

Who knows what’s good for a person? They live for only a few meaningless days. They pass through life like a shadow. Who can tell them what will happen on earth after they are gone?

For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

In the few days of our meaningless lives, who knows how our days can best be spent? Our lives are like a shadow. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone?

For who knows what is good for anyone in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell anyone what will happen after him under the sun?

你們不知道明天是什麼、生命是什麼！你們不過是一陣雲霧，出現片刻，隨後就消失了。

因此我看到：沒有什麼比人在自己所做的事上自得其樂更好，因為這是他的份。誰能帶他去看在他之後所發生的事呢？

惡人卻沒有好日子，他的日子像影子那樣，不能長久，因他在神面前沒有敬畏之心。

人好像一口氣，他的年日就像影子那樣過去。

看哪，你賜給我的年日屈指可數，我的一生在你面前如同無有；所有人站得最穩的時候，也都全然虛空！細拉人們往來行走，只是幻像；他們喧鬧，也是虛空；他們積聚，卻不知道誰會收取。

沒有人知道將來發生什麼事，因為誰能告訴人將來發生什麼呢？

我們一生的日子，是七十歲，如果強壯，可到八十歲；但其中可誇耀的，不過是勞苦愁煩，轉瞬即逝，我們就如飛而去。誰明白你怒氣的威力呢？誰按著你該受的敬畏，明白你的盛怒呢？求你教導我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好讓我們得著智慧的心。

至於我，我要在公義中仰望你的臉；當我醒來時，就因你的形像而滿足。

求你記念我的一生是多麼短暫，你創造的所有世人是多麼虛妄！

我的年日如同偏斜的影子，我像牧草那樣枯乾。

他們的愛、他們的恨、他們的嫉妒，早都消亡了；在日光之下發生的一切事中，他們永遠不再有份。

我如影子偏斜消逝，又如蝗蟲被抖落。

許多人說：「誰能讓我們看到好處呢？」耶和華啊，求你用你的容光照耀我們！

聽完了這一切，結論就是：當敬畏神，謹守他的誡命，因為這是每一個人的本份。

他為我們揀選了繼業，就是他所愛的雅各的榮耀。細拉

我的心以智慧引領我的同時，我心裡探察如何用酒使我的肉體暢快並保持愚昧狀，直到我看清世人一生可數的日子裡，在天下做什麼才有益處。

耶和華是我繼業的份、我的杯；是你掌握我的命運！
