Parallel Strong's
Berean Study Bible
When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great evil.

Young's Literal Translation
For there is a man{.htm" title="{"> whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man{.htm" title="{"> who hath not laboured therein he giveth it—his portion! Even this [is] vanity and a great evil.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
When there is a man whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.

New American Standard Bible
When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge and skill, then he gives his legacy to one who has not labored with them. This too is vanity and a great evil.

King James Bible
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.
