................................................................................ And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless--like chasing the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is vanity and striving after wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to a man's jealousy of his friend. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I examined all sorts of work, including all kinds of excellent achievements that create envy in others. This also is pointless and chasing after the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I considered all the skillful work that is done: Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another. This also is profitless--like chasing the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I saw that all hard work and skillful effort come from rivalry. Even this is pointless. [It's like] trying to catch the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Again, I considered all toil, and every skillful work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and grasping after the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Again I considered all the labours of men, and I remarked that their industries are exposed to the envy of their neighhour: so in this also there is vanity, and fruitless care.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ And I saw all labour, and all success of work, that it is man's jealousy of his neighbour. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I saw all labour and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ 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.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man's neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
................................................................................ ................................................................................ And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this is vanity and vexation of spirit.
