Ecclesiastes 2:3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
[x]MKJV: I sought in my heart to drag my flesh with wine, yet leading my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until I might see where the good for the sons of men might be, what they should do under the heavens all the days of their life.
BBE: I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.
KAV: 내가 여전히 내 마음으로 하여금 지혜를 알게 하면서 내 마음속으로 내 자신을 포도주에 내주기를 구하였으며 또 사람들의 아들들이 그들의 평생 동안 하늘 아래에서 행하여야 할 일 곧 그들에게 그토록 좋은 일이 무엇인지 알아볼 때까지 어리석음을 붙잡기를 구하였노라.
TSK: sought: ec 1:17, 1sa 25:36; yet: pr 20:1, pr 31:4,5, eph 5:18; and to lay: ec 7:18, pr 20:1, pr 23:29-35, mt 6:24, 2co 6:15-17; till: ec 6:12, ec 12:13; all: ge 47:9, job 14:14, ps 90:9-12Ecclesiastes 2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
[x]MKJV: And I turned to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what [can] the man [do] who comes after the king, when they have already done it?
BBE: And I went again in search of wisdom and of foolish ways. What may the man do who comes after the king? The thing which he has done before.
KAV: ¶ 내가 내 자신을 돌이켜 지혜와 미친 것과 어리석음을 살펴보았나니 왕 뒤에 오는 사람이 무슨 일을 행할 수 있으리요? 이미 행한 일뿐이리라.
TSK: I turned: ec 1:17, ec 7:25Ecclesiastes 2:16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
[x]MKJV: For [there is] no memory of the wise [more than] of the fool forever, since that which is now shall all be forgotten in the days to come. And how does the wise die above the fool!
BBE: Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!
KAV: 지금 있는 것이 훗날에 모두 잊힐 터이므로 지혜로운 자가 어리석은 자보다 영원히 더 기억되지 아니하나니 지혜로운 자가 어떻게 죽느냐? 어리석은 자와 같도다.
TSK: there is: ec 1:11, ex 1:6,8, ps 88:12, ps 103:16, mal 3:16; how: ec 6:8, 2sa 3:33, ps 49:10, heb 9:27Ecclesiastes 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
[x]MKJV: Yes, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun; that I must leave it to the man who shall be after me.
BBE: Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.
KAV: ¶ 참으로 내가 해 아래에서 행한 내 모든 수고를 미워하였으니 이는 내가 그것을 내 뒤에 올 사람에게 남겨야 하기 때문이라.
TSK: I hated: ec 2:4-9, ec 1:13, ec 4:3, ec 5:18, ec 9:9; I should: ec 2:26, ec 5:13,14, 1ki 11:11-13, ps 17:14, ps 39:6, ps 49:10, lu 12:20, lu 16:27,28, ac 20:29,30, 1co 3:10Ecclesiastes 2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
[x]MKJV: And I turned to cause my heart to despair over all the labor which I did under the sun.
BBE: So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.
KAV: 이러므로 내가 노력하여 내 마음으로 하여금 내가 해 아래에서 행한 모든 수고를 단념하게 하였도다.
TSK: Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.: ge 43:14, job 17:11-15, ps 39:6,7, 1co 15:19, 2co 1:8-10, 1th 3:3,4Ecclesiastes 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
[x]MKJV: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pull up what [is] planted;
BBE: A time for birth and a time for death; a time for planting and a time for uprooting;
KAV: 날 때가 있고 죽을 때가 있으며 심을 때가 있고 심은 것을 뽑을 때가 있으며
TSK: time to be born: ge 17:21, ge 21:1,2, 1sa 2:5, 1ki 13:2, 2ki 4:16, ps 113:9, isa 54:1, lu 1:13,20,36, joh 16:21, ac 7:17,20, ga 4:4; and a time: ge 47:29, nu 20:24-28, nu 27:12-14, de 3:23-26, de 34:5, job 7:1, job 14:5,14, isa 38:1,5, joh 7:30, heb 9:27; a time to plant: ps 52:5, isa 5:2-5, jer 1:10, jer 18:7-10, jer 45:4, mt 13:28,29,41, mt 15:13Ecclesiastes 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
[x]MKJV: I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men to be humbled by it.
BBE: I saw the work which God has put on the sons of man.
KAV: [하나님]께서 사람들의 아들들에게 해산의 고통을 주사 그 안에서 단련 받게 하신 것을 내가 보았노라.
TSK: I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.: ec 1:13,14, ec 2:26, ge 3:19, 1th 2:9, 2th 3:8Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
[x]MKJV: That which has been is now; and that which [is] to be has already been; and God requires that which is past.
BBE: Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.
KAV: 지금까지 있던 것이 지금 있으며 앞으로 있을 것도 이미 있었나니 [하나님]은 이미 지나간 것을 요구하시느니라.
TSK: which hath: ec 1:9,10Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
[x]MKJV: For that which happens [to] the sons of men also happens to beasts even one thing [happens] to them. As this [one] dies, so that [one] dies; yea, they all [have] one breath; so that a man has no advantage over a beast; for all [is] vanity.
BBE: Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.
KAV: 사람들의 아들들에게 일어나는 일이 짐승들에게도 일어나나니 곧 한 가지 일이 그들에게 일어나느니라. 이것이 죽는 것 같이 저것도 죽나니 참으로 그들이 다 한 호흡을 가졌도다. 그러므로 사람이 짐승보다 뛰어날 것이 없나니 이는 모든 것이 헛된 것이기 때문이로다.
TSK: that which: ec 2:16, ps 49:12,20, ps 92:6,7; as the: 2sa 14:14, job 14:10-12, ps 104:29; for: ec 2:20-23, ps 39:5,6, ps 89:47,48Ecclesiastes 4:2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
[x]MKJV: And I commended the dead who already have died, more than the living who [are] living now.
BBE: So my praise was for the dead who have gone to their death, more than for the living who still have life.
KAV: 그러므로 내가 아직 살아 있는 산 자들보다 이미 죽어 있는 죽은 자들을 더욱 칭송하였으니
TSK: Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.: ec 2:17, ec 9:4-6, job 3:17-21Ecclesiastes 4:3 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
[x]MKJV: Yea, better than both [is he] who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
BBE: Yes, happier than the dead or the living seemed he who has not ever been, who has not seen the evil which is done under the sun.
KAV: 참으로 아직 존재하지 않은 자 곧 해 아래에서 이루어진 악한 일을 보지 못한 자가 그들 둘보다 낫도다.
TSK: better: ec 6:3-5, job 3:10-16, job 10:18,19, jer 20:17,18, mt 24:19, lu 23:29; who: ec 1:14, ec 2:17, ps 55:6-11, jer 9:2,3Ecclesiastes 4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
[x]MKJV: I saw all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child who shall stand up in his place.
BBE: I saw all the living under the sun round the young man who was to be ruler in place of the king.
KAV: 내가 그를 대신하여 일어 설 둘째 아이와 더불어 해 아래에서 걷는 모든 산 자들을 깊이 살펴보니
TSK: child: 2sa 15:6Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
[x]MKJV: When you vow a vow to God, do not wait to pay it. For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you have vowed.
BBE: When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.
KAV: 네가 [하나님]께 서원하거든 그것을 갚는 일을 미루지 말라. 그분께서 어리석은 자들을 기뻐하지 아니하시나니 네가 서원한 것을 갚을지어다.
TSK: vowest: ge 28:20, ge 35:1,3, nu 30:2, de 23:21-23, ps 50:14, ps 76:11, ps 119:106, isa 19:21, mt 5:33; for: ps 147:10,11, mal 1:10, heb 10:6; pay: ps 66:13,14, ps 116:14,16-18, jon 2:9Ecclesiastes 5:13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
[x]MKJV: There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for their owners to their hurt.
BBE: There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun--wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.
KAV: 내가 해 아래에서 본 큰 악이 있나니 곧 소유주들을 위해 간직한 재물이 그들에게 해가 되는 것이라.

[x]MKJV: As he came forth from his mother's womb naked, he shall return to go as he came. And from his labor he may not carry anything that may go in his hand.
BBE: As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.
KAV: 그가 모태에서 나왔은즉 온 그대로 벌거벗은 채 돌아가고 자기의 수고한 것 중에 아무것도 손에 들고 가지 못하리니
TSK: As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.: job 1:21, ps 49:17, lu 12:20, 1ti 6:7Ecclesiastes 5:18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
[x]MKJV: Behold that which I have seen. [it is] good and right for one to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he labors under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him; for it [is] his portion.
BBE: This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.
KAV: ¶ 내가 지금까지 본 것에 주목할지어다. 사람이 [하나님]께서 그에게 주시는 그의 생명의 모든 날 동안 먹고 마시며 해 아래에서 행하는 자기의 모든 수고의 좋은 열매를 즐기는 것이 선하고 마땅하니 이는 그것이 그의 몫이기 때문이라.
TSK: it is good and comely: ec 2:24, ec 3:12,13,22, ec 8:15, ec 9:7, ec 11:9, 1ti 6:17; it is his: ec 2:10, ec 3:22, jer 52:34Ecclesiastes 6:1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

[x]MKJV: That which has been [is] named already, and it is known that he [is] man. And he is not able to contend with Him who is mightier than he.
BBE: That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.

BBE: Who is able to say what is good for man in life all the days of his foolish life which he goes through like a shade? who will say what is to be after him under the sun?
