Ecclesiastes 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.

BBE: I saw all the living under the sun round the young man who was to be ruler in place of the king.

[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.

BBE: There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;
KAV: 내가 해 아래에서 본 한 가지 악이 있는데 그것은 사람들 가운데 공통적으로 있는 것이라.
TSK: There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:: ec 5:13Ecclesiastes 6:3 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
[x]MKJV: If a man fathers a hundred, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also is for him no burial; I say, a miscarriage [is] better than he.
BBE: If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.

[x]MKJV: All [things] I have seen in the days of my vanity; there is a just one who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked one who prolongs [life] in his wickedness.
BBE: These two have I seen in my life which is to no purpose: a good man coming to his end in his righteousness, and an evil man whose days are long in his evil-doing.

[x]MKJV: I set my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason [of things], and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness;
BBE: I gave my mind to knowledge and to searching for wisdom and the reason of things, and to the discovery that sin is foolish, and that to be foolish is to be without one's senses.
KAV: 내가 내 마음을 기울여 지혜와 사물의 이치를 알고 탐구하여 찾아내려 하였으며 또 어리석은 짓 곧 어리석은 것과 심지어 미친 것의 사악함을 알고자 하였더니

[x]MKJV: and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart [is] snares and nets, and her hands [like] bands. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.
BBE: And I saw a thing more bitter than death, even the woman whose heart is full of tricks and nets, and whose hands are as bands. He with whom God is pleased will get free from her, but the sinner will be taken by her.

[x]MKJV: And so I saw the wicked buried, and they came and went from the holy place. And they were forgotten in the city, [these] things that they had done. This [is] also vanity.
BBE: And then I saw evil men put to rest, taken even from the holy place; and they went about and were praised in the town because of what they had done. This again is to no purpose.

[x]MKJV: There is a vanity which is done on the earth: There are just ones to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked ones to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also [is vanity.
BBE: There is a thing which is to no purpose done on the earth: that there are good men to whom is given the same punishment as those who are evil, and there are evil men who get the reward of the good. I say that this again is to no purpose.
