智慧人的眼在頭上看；愚頑人在黑暗裏走；我卻深知這兩種人都必遇見同一樣的遭遇。

智慧人的眼目光明，愚昧人在黑暗里行。我却看明有一件事，这两等人都必遇见。

智慧人的眼目光明，愚昧人却在黑暗里行。但我知道他们都有相同的遭遇。

智者明於目、愚者行於暗、我知其終、所遇一也、

智者明目、愚人行暗、及其終也、何異之有。

智者凡事目明、愚者行於幽暗、然亦知智者愚者所遇、無以異也、

The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.

The eyes of a wise person see things clearly. A person who is foolish lives in darkness. But I finally realized that death catches up with both of them.

The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.

For the wise can see where they are going, but fools walk in the dark.” Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate.

The wise person has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.

The wise person’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one and the same fate happens to both of them.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

明達人面向着智慧；愚頑人的眼卻望着地儘邊。

他必看見智慧人死去，愚頑人和畜類人一概滅亡，將他們的資財留給別人。

我又看：在日光之下、賽跑未必給輕快的先跑到，戰爭未必給勇士得勝利，糧食也未必給智慧人得着，財富未必給明達人賺得到，恩寵也未必給有知識的人博得着：他們所碰到的就只是定時與機會。

因為人類所遭遇的、獸類也遭遇着：他們都有一樣的遭遇：這個怎樣死，那個也怎樣死；二者都有一樣的氣息：人比獸並沒有甚麼長處；都是虛空。

我將這一切事放在心上，我的心就看明了這一切：就是義人和智慧人、以及他們所作的、都在上帝手中：或是愛，或是恨，人都不能知；在他們面前一切都是虛空。眾人都有一樣的遭遇：義人和惡人、好人和壞人、潔淨人和不潔淨的人、獻祭的和沒獻祭的、都一樣：好人怎樣，好犯罪的人也怎樣；起誓的怎麼，怕起誓的也怎樣。在日光之下所發生的一切事上、有一件最大的禍患：就是一切人所遭遇的都是一樣；並且人類的心都充滿着壞事；他們一生心裏都是狂妄，其後呢——都到死人那裏去！

比金子可羨慕，比許多鍊淨的金子還可愛；比蜜甘甜，比蜂房滴下的還甜。

我說，雖即那貧窮漢的智慧儘管被藐視，而他的話儘管無人聽從，然智慧終是勝過勇力的。

就使那人活了千年，再活了千年，卻沒有經驗過享樂，有甚麼用處？眾人不是都要歸於一個地方去麼？

精明人的智慧在乎明白自己的道路；愚頑人的愚妄卻有欺詐性。

往有喪事的家去，比往宴飲的家去好；因為死是一切人的終局；活人必須將這事放在心上。

誰比得上智慧人呢？誰知道事情的解決法呢？人的智慧使他臉上有光輝，使他臉上的粗暴氣都變化了。

智慧人的心向右；愚頑人的心向左。愚昧人連行路時心思也全失了；論到每一個人他都說：「那是個愚昧人」。
