Ecclesiastes 4:4 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.
[x]MKJV: Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
BBE: And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.
KAV: ¶ 내가 모든 해산의 고통과 모든 옳은 일을 다시 깊이 살펴보니 이것으로 인하여 사람이 자기 이웃에게 시기를 받는도다. 이것도 헛되며 영을 괴롭게 하는 것이로다.

[x]MKJV: Better [is] a hand filled with rest than two fists [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
BBE: One hand full of rest is better than two hands full of trouble and desire for wind.
KAV: 한 손에 가득하고 평온한 것이 두 손에 가득하고 해산의 고통을 겪으며 영을 괴롭게 하는 것보다 더 나으니라.
TSK: Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.: ps 37:16, pr 15:16,17, pr 16:8, pr 17:1Ecclesiastes 4:8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
[x]MKJV: There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother; yet there is no end to all his labor; and his eyes are not satisfied with riches; and [he says, For whom do I labor and take good from my soul? This [is] also vanity. Yes, it [is] an evil business.
BBE: It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.
KAV: 한 사람이 홀로 있고 대신할 자가 없으니 참으로 그에게는 자식도 없고 형제도 없도다. 그럼에도 그의 모든 수고에는 끝이 없으며 또 그의 눈은 재물로도 만족하지 아니하고 또 그가 이르기를, 내가 누구를 위해 수고하며 내 혼에게서 좋은 것을 빼앗는가? 하지도 아니하나니 이것도 헛되며 참으로 쓰라린 해산의 고통이로다.

[x]MKJV: For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him [who is] alone when he falls, for he does not have another to help him.
BBE: And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper.
KAV: 혹시 그들이 넘어지면 한 사람이 자기 동료를 일으켜 세우려니와 홀로 있는 자는 넘어질 때에 화가 있으리니 그를 도와서 일으킬 자가 그에게 없도다.

BBE: And two attacked by one would be safe, and three cords twisted together are not quickly broken.

[x]MKJV: A poor and a wise child [is] better than an old and foolish king, who will not be warned any more.
BBE: A young man who is poor and wise is better than a king who is old and foolish and will not be guided by the wisdom of others.
KAV: ¶ 가난해도 지혜로운 아이가 늙고 어리석어 더 이상 권고를 받으려 하지 아니하는 왕보다 낫도다.

[x]MKJV: For out of prison he comes to reign; although in his kingdom he was born poor.
BBE: Because out of a prison the young man comes to be king, though by birth he was only a poor man in the kingdom.
KAV: 그는 통치하려고 감옥에서 나오거니와 자기의 왕권을 가지고 태어난 자는 또한 가난하게 되는도다.

Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
[x]MKJV: [There is] no end of all the people, of all who have been before them; they also who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
BBE: There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.

[x]MKJV: Do not be rash [with] your mouth, and do not let your heart be hasty to say a word before God. For God [is] in Heaven, and you [are] on earth; therefore let your words be few.
BBE: Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great.
KAV: 네 입을 경솔히 열지 말며 [하나님] 앞에서 네 마음이 급하게 어떤 것도 말하지 못하게 할지니라. [하나님]은 하늘에 계시고 너는 땅에 있나니 그런즉 네 말 수를 적게 할지니라.

BBE: As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.
KAV: 꿈은 일이 많아 생기고 어리석은 자의 목소리는 말이 많아 알려지느니라.
TSK: a fool's: ec 10:12-14, pr 10:19, pr 15:2Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
[x]MKJV: [it is] better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
BBE: It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.
KAV: 네가 서원하고 갚지 않는 것보다 서원하지 않는 것이 더 나으니라.
TSK: Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.: de 23:22, pr 20:25, ac 5:4Ecclesiastes 5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
[x]MKJV: If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not marvel at the matter. For He [who is] higher than the highest watches; and there are some higher than they.
BBE: If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.
KAV: ¶ 만일 네가 어느 지방에서 가난한 자를 학대하는 것과 폭력으로 공의와 정의를 굽게 하는 것을 보거든 그 일에 놀라지 말라. 가장 높은 자보다 더 높으신 분께서 그것을 주목하시나니 그들보다 더 높은 자들이 있느니라.

[x]MKJV: And the advantage of a land, it is for all; [even] a king has a field being tilled.
BBE: It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.
KAV: ¶ 또한 땅이 내는 이익은 모든 사람을 위한 것이니 왕도 친히 밭에서 나는 것으로 섬김을 받느니라.
TSK: the profit: ge 1:29,30, ge 3:17-19, ps 104:14,15, ps 115:16, pr 13:23, pr 27:23-27, pr 28:19, jer 40:10-12; the king: 1sa 8:12-17, 1ki 4:7-23, 1ch 27:26-31Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
[x]MKJV: He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, and he who loves abundance not with] gain. This [is] also vanity.
BBE: He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.

[x]MKJV: When the good thing increases, those who eat it increase; then what profit [is it] to its owners, except to see [it] with their eyes?
BBE: When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?

[x]MKJV: The sleep of a laboring man [is] sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
BBE: The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.
KAV: 수고하는 자는 많이 먹든지 적게 먹든지 잠을 달게 자거니와 부자는 재물이 풍요하므로 잠들지 못하리로다.
