KJV (66 books) +2 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.

BSB +1 I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

DRA Again I considered all the labours of men, and I remarked that their industries are exposed to the envy of their neighhour: so in this also there is vanity, and fruitless care.

FBV I observed that every skill in work comes from competition with others. Once again this is hard to understand, like trying to hold on to the elusive wind.

GNV Also I beheld all trauaile, and all perfection of workes that this is ye enuie of a man against his neighbour: this also is vanitie and vexation of spirit.

JPS Again, I considered all labour and all excelling in work, that it is a man's rivalry with his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

LSV And I have seen all the labor, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbor. Even this [is] vanity and distress of spirit.

NIV (US) +1 And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

NMV Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and anguish of spirit.

OJB Again, I considered all amal, and every kishron hama'aseh (skillful achievement), that such is a simple derivative of kinat ish meirei'eihu (the envy of man of his neighbor). This also is hevel, a chasing after ruach.

RV Then I saw all labour and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

T4T I also thought about all the hard work that people do and the skills that they have. And I thought about how they compete with each other because they are envious of others, and I concluded that this also is something that is not accomplishing anything useful, like chasing the wind.

WEB (US) +4 Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

WEB (UK) +2 Then I saw all the labour and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
