Ecclesiastes 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
[x]MKJV: Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
BBE: Then I saw that wisdom is better than foolish ways--as the light is better than the dark.
KAV: 그때에 내가 보니 지혜가 어리석음보다 뛰어남이 빛이 어둠보다 뛰어남 같았도다.
TSK: I saw: ec 7:11,12, ec 9:16, pr 4:5-7, pr 16:16, mal 3:18, mal 4:1,2; light: ec 11:7, ps 119:105,130, pr 4:18,19, mt 6:23, lu 11:34,35, eph 5:8Ecclesiastes 2:14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
[x]MKJV: The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walks in darkness; and I also knew that one event happens to all of them.
BBE: The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.
KAV: 지혜로운 자의 눈은 그의 머리 속에 있거니와 어리석은 자는 어둠 속에 다니나니 그들 모두에게 한 가지 일이 일어나는 줄을 나도 직접 깨달아 알게 되었도다.
TSK: wise: ec 8:1, ec 10:2,3, pr 14:8, pr 17:24, 1jo 2:11; one: ec 9:1-3,11,16, ps 19:10, ps 49:10Ecclesiastes 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
[x]MKJV: Then I said in my heart, As it happens to the fool, [so] it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise? And I said in my heart that this also [is] vanity.
BBE: Then said I in my heart: As it comes to the foolish man, so will it come to me; so why have I been wise overmuch? Then I said in my heart: This again is to no purpose.
KAV: 그때에 내가 내 마음속으로 이르기를, 어리석은 자에게 일어나는 일이 내게도 일어나거늘 어찌하여 내가 더 지혜로웠던가? 하고 이에 또 내 마음속으로 이르기를, 이것도 헛되도다, 하였도다.
TSK: and why: ec 1:16,18, 1ki 3:12; Then I: ec 2:1, ec 1:2,14Ecclesiastes 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
[x]MKJV: Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun [is] sad to me; for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
BBE: So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.
KAV: 그러므로 내가 사는 것을 미워하였으니 이는 모든 것이 헛되며 영을 괴롭게 하는 것이므로 해 아래에서 이룩한 일이 내게 몹시 괴롭기 때문이라.
TSK: I hated: nu 11:15, 1ki 19:4, job 3:20-22, job 7:15,16, job 14:13, jer 20:14-18, jon 4:3,8, php 1:23-25; work: ec 1:14, ec 3:16, eze 3:14, hab 1:3; for: ec 2:11,22, ec 6:9, ps 89:47Ecclesiastes 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.

This is also vanity.
[x]MKJV: And who knows [whether] he shall be wise or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and acted wisely under the sun. This [is] also vanity.
BBE: And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.
KAV: 그 사람이 지혜로운 자일지 어리석은 자일지 누가 알겠느냐? 그럼에도 내가 수고하며 행한 내 모든 수고와 내가 직접 해 아래에서 지혜를 보이며 행한 내 모든 수고를 그가 관리하리니 이것도 헛되도다.

[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 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
[x]MKJV: Is it not good that he should eat and drink and make his soul see good in his labor? This I also saw, that it [was] from the hand of God.
BBE: There is nothing better for a man than taking meat and drink, and having delight in his work. This again I saw was from the hand of God.
KAV: ¶ 사람이 먹고 마시는 것과 스스로 수고하는 중에 자기 혼으로 하여금 좋은 것을 즐기게 하는 것보다 더 좋은 것은 없도다. 내가 이것도 보니 그것이 [하나님]의 손에서 나왔도다.

[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.

BBE: I am certain that there is nothing better for a man than to be glad, and to do good while life is in him.

[x]MKJV: I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God does [it] so that they fear before Him.
BBE: I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.
