Ecclesiastes 2:21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
[x]MKJV: When there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and with success; yet to a man who has not labored in it, he shall leave it [for] his share. This also is vanity and a great evil.
BBE: Because there is a man whose work has been done with wisdom, with knowledge, and with an expert hand; but one who has done nothing for it will have it for his heritage. This again is to no purpose and a great evil.
KAV: 어떤 사람이 지혜와 지식과 공평으로 수고한다 해도 그런 것으로 수고하지 아니한 사람을 위해 그의 몫으로 그것을 남겨야 하나니 이것도 헛된 것이며 큰 악이로다.

[x]MKJV: For what has man from all his labor, and from the troubling of his heart, in which he has labored under the sun?
BBE: What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?
KAV: 사람이 해 아래에서 수고하며 행한 자신의 모든 수고와 자기 마음을 괴롭게 하는 것으로부터 무엇을 얻으리요?
TSK: hath man: ec 1:3, ec 3:9, ec 5:10,11,17, ec 6:7,8, ec 8:15, pr 16:26, 1ti 6:8; and of the: ec 4:6,8, ps 127:2, mt 6:11,25,34, mt 16:26, lu 12:22,29, php 4:6, 1pe 5:7Ecclesiastes 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.

This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
[x]MKJV: For [God] gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy to a man who [is] good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives labor, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him who is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
BBE: To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
KAV: [하나님]께서 자신의 눈앞에서 선한 자에게는 지혜와 지식과 기쁨을 주시거니와 죄인에게는 모으고 쌓는 해산의 고통을 주사 그가 [하나님] 앞에서 선한 자에게 주게 하시나니 이것도 헛되며 영을 괴롭게 하는 것이로다.

[x]MKJV: What profit does he have who works in that in which he labors?
BBE: What profit has the worker in the work which he does?
KAV: 일하는 자가 자기가 수고하는 것에서 무슨 유익을 얻으리요?
TSK: What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?: ec 1:3, ec 2:11,22,23, ec 5:16, pr 14:23, mt 16:26Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
[x]MKJV: He has made everything beautiful in His time; also He has set eternity in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.
BBE: He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.
KAV: 그분께서 자신의 때에 모든 것을 아름답게 만드셨고 또 그들의 마음속에 세상을 정하여 두셨으므로 아무도 [하나님]께서 만드시는 일을 처음부터 끝까지 알아 낼 수 없도다.

[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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[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: 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: 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.

[x]MKJV: But those riches perish by evil use. And he brings forth a son, and nothing [is] in his hand.
BBE: And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.

[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.
