Ecclesiastes 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.

[x]MKJV: Therefore I have seen that [there is] nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is] his portion; for who can bring him to see what shall be after him?
BBE: So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?
KAV: 그러므로 사람이 자기 일들을 기뻐하는 것보다 더 나은 것이 없음을 내가 깨달았나니 이는 그것이 그의 몫이기 때문이라. 누가 그를 데려다가 그의 뒤에 어떤 일이 일어날지 보여 주겠느냐?

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.

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.

[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.

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.

[x]MKJV: Guard your steps when you go to the house of God, and be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools. For they do not know that they are doing evil.
BBE: Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil.

[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.

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 5:4 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.

[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.
