Here’s something evil I’ve seen on this earth. And it’s the kind of mistake that rulers make.

我见日光之下有一件祸患，似乎出于掌权的错误，

我见日光之下有一件祸患，似乎出于统治者的错误，

我见日光之下有一件祸患，似乎出于统治者的错误，

我发现日光之下有一件可悲的事，似乎是掌权者所犯的错误：

在日光之下我看见一件憾事，好像是出于官长无意的错误，

我看到在日光之下有一种祸患，好像是出自掌权者无意的过错：

我見日光之下有一件禍患，似乎出於掌權的錯誤，

我見日光之下有一件禍患，似乎出於統治者的錯誤，

我見日光之下有一件禍患，似乎出於統治者的錯誤，

我發現日光之下有一件可悲的事，似乎是掌權者所犯的錯誤：

在日光之下我看見一件憾事，好像是出於官長無意的錯誤，

我見日光之下有一件禍患、似乎是出於執政者不知不覺的錯誤：

我看到在日光之下有一種禍患，好像是出自掌權者無意的過錯：

我於日下、見有一患、似出於執政者之錯誤、

天下事可長太息者、我嘗見之矣、長者所行不善、使愚者坐高位、智者居末座、

我又見日下有一大患事、乃出於秉權者之錯誤、

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler:

There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler:

There is another evil I have seen under the sun. Kings and rulers make a grave mistake

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, an error proceeding from the presence of the ruler:

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like a mistake that proceeds from the ruler:

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error proceeding from the ruler:

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, an error proceeding from the presence of the ruler:

There is an evil[ which] I have seen under the sun, as an error[ which] proceedeth from the ruler:

I have seen another misfortune on the earth: It is an error a ruler makes.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.

I’ve seen something very evil on earth. It’s when wealth is stored up and then brings harm to its owners.

Here’s something else I saw on earth. Where people should be treated right, they are treated wrong. Where people should be treated fairly, they are treated unfairly.

I’ve seen another evil thing on this earth. And it’s a heavy load on human beings.

I looked and saw how much people were suffering on this earth. I saw the tears of those who are suffering. They don’t have anyone to comfort them. Power is on the side of those who treat them badly. Those who are suffering don’t have anyone to comfort them.

Again I saw something on earth that didn’t mean anything.

Here’s what is so bad about everything that happens on this earth. Death catches up with all of us. Also, the hearts of people are full of evil. They live in foolish pleasure. After that, they join those who have already died.
