Τοτε εγω εστραφην και ειδον πασας τας αδικιας τας γινομενας υπο τον ηλιον· και ιδου, δακρυα των αδικουμενων, και δεν υπηρχεν εις αυτους ο παρηγορων· η δε δυναμις ητο εν τη χειρι των αδικουντων αυτους· και δεν υπηρχεν εις αυτους ο παρηγορων.
And I saw all labour, and all the diligent work, that this is a man’s envy from his neighbour. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.

Προσετι εγω εθεωρησα παντα μοχθον και πασαν επιτευξιν εργου, οτι δια τουτο ο ανθρωπος φθονειται υπο του πλησιον αυτου· και τουτο ματαιοτης και θλιψις πνευματος.
There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.

υπαρχει τις και δεν εχει δευτερον· ναι, δεν εχει ουτε υιον ουτε αδελφον· και ομως δεν παυει απο παντος του μοχθου αυτου· μαλιστα ο οφθαλμος αυτου δεν χορταινει πλουτου· και δεν λεγει, δια τινα εγω κοπιαζω και στερω την ψυχην μου απο αγαθων; και τουτο ειναι ματαιοτης και περισπασμος λυπηρος.
There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.

Δεν υπαρχει τελος εις παντα τον λαον, εις παντας τους προυπαρξαντας αυτων· αλλ' ουδε οι μετα ταυτα θελουσιν ευφρανθη εις αυτον· λοιπον και τουτο ματαιοτης και θλιψις πνευματος.
