Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
ASV
Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ich sah an Arbeit und Geschicklichkeit in allen Sachen; da neidet einer den andern. Das ist auch eitel und Haschen nach dem Wind.

РСП (66 кн.)
Видел я также, что всякий труд и всякий успех в делах производят взаимную между людьми зависть. И это — суета и томление духа!
НРП
И увидел я, что весь труд и все достижения происходят от зависти людей друг к другу. И это тоже суета, это — погоня за ветром.
Заокская (Кулаков)
Повидал я всяческие труды и умелую работу, от чего одна лишь зависть среди людей. И всё это тщета одна, за ветром погоня.
ВП
И увидел я, что весь труд и все достижения происходят от зависти людей друг к другу. И это тоже пустое, это — погоня за ветром.
СП (БЛ)
Потом я подумал: «Зачем так упорно трудятся люди?» Я видел тех, кто пытался чего-либо достичь и быть лучше других. Почему? Потому что люди завистливы и не хотят, чтобы у других было больше, чем у них. Это всё так же бессмысленно, как пытаться поймать ветер.
