BKR
Jest marnost, kteráž se děje na zemi: Že bývají spravedliví, jimž se však vede, jako by činili skutky bezbožných; zase bývají bezbožní, kterýmž se však vede, jako by činili skutky spravedlivých. Protož jsem řekl: I to také jest marnost.

РСП (66 кн.)
Есть и такая суета на земле: праведников постигает то, чего заслуживали бы дела нечестивых, а с нечестивыми бывает то, чего заслуживали бы дела праведников. И сказал я: и это — суета!
НРП
Есть еще нечто суетное, что случается на земле: праведник получает то, что заслуживает нечестивый, а нечестивый получает то, что заслуживает праведник. И сказал я, что это тоже суета.
Заокская (Кулаков)
Вот еще какая тщета творится на земле: праведным порой выпадает удел злодеев, а злодеям — удел праведных. Я сказал и об этом: тщета!
ВП
Есть ещё нечто пустое, что случается на земле: праведник получает то, что заслуживает нечестивый, а нечестивый получает то, что заслуживает праведник. И сказал я, что это тоже пустое.
СП (БЛ)
Есть и другая несправедливость на земле: плохое должно случаться с плохими людьми, а хорошее — с хорошими, но, порой, плохое случается с хорошими людьми, а хорошее случается с плохими. И это бессмысленно.
