RV1909
¡Que el hombre trabaje con sabiduría, y con ciencia, y con rectitud, y que haya de dar su hacienda á hombre que nunca trabajó en ello! También es esto vanidad y mal grande.
NBV [2:20–23]
Desesperado, abandoné entonces el trabajo arduo, como respuesta a mi búsqueda de satisfacción. Pues hay quienes pasan la vida en busca de sabiduría, conocimientos y habilidad, para luego dejárselo todo a quien no se ha esforzado ni un día de su vida. Esto no sólo es necio sino injusto. Así pues, ¿qué obtiene el ser humano de toda su ardua labor? Días llenos de tristeza y dolor, y noches inquietas y amargas. Todo es absolutamente ridículo.
BES
Porque hay un hombre cuyo trabajo ha sido hecho con sabiduría, con conocimiento y con mano experta; pero uno que no ha hecho nada por él, lo tendrá por su herencia. Esto de nuevo no tiene ningún propósito y es un gran mal.
PdDpt
¡Que un hombre que trabajó con sabiduría, conocimiento y destreza, y deje su legado a otro que no trabajó por ello! ¡Esto también es vanidad y grande mal!
PDT
porque uno trabaja con sabiduría, entendimiento y dedicación para finalmente dejárselo al que no trabajó para conseguirlo. Eso está muy mal y no tiene sentido.
