Parallel Strong's Berean Study Bible I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind. Young's Literal Translation 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. Holman Christian Standard Bible 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. New American Standard Bible 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. King James Bible 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.
