There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

他所治理的众人就是他的百姓，多得无数；在他后来的人尚且不喜悦他。这真是虚空，也是捕风。

他的百姓，就是他所治理的众人，多得无数；但后来的人还是不喜欢他。这也是虚空，也是捕风。

他的百姓，就是他所治理的众人，多得无数；但后来的人还是不喜欢他。这也是虚空，也是捕风。

拥护他的人不计其数，以后的世代却对他不满。这也是虚空，如同捕风。

所有的人民，就是他所统治的人民，多得无数；然而后来的人却不喜欢他。这实在也是虚空，也是捕风。

尽管所有的民众，就是那些站在他前面的人无穷无尽，但后来的人却不喜欢他。这也是虚空，也是捕风！

他所治理的眾人就是他的百姓，多得無數；在他後來的人尚且不喜悅他。這真是虛空，也是捕風。

他的百姓，就是他所治理的眾人，多得無數；但後來的人還是不喜歡他。這也是虛空，也是捕風。

所有的人民，就是他所統治的人民，多得無數；然而後來的人卻不喜歡他。這實在也是虛空，也是捕風。

所有的人民、他所治理的眾人、都數不了，但在他以後的人也不喜歡他。這也是虛空，也是捕風。

儘管所有的民眾，就是那些站在他前面的人無窮無盡，但後來的人卻不喜歡他。這也是虛空，也是捕風！

其所轄之民眾、不可勝數、而後人不之悅、斯亦虛空、乃為捕風、

及其為君、從者無數、而後人卒不頌其美、此亦捕風捉影之事也。

彼所率之民無數、而後人又不悅之、此亦屬於虛、亦如捕風、○

There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

At first, all the people served him when he became king. But those who came later weren’t pleased with the way he was ruling. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Endless crowds stand around him, but then another generation grows up and rejects him, too. So it is all meaningless— like chasing the wind.

There is no limit to all the people who were before them, yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them. Even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him; for this too is futility and striving after wind.

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

There is no limit to all the people who were before them, yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

[ There is] no end of all the people,[ even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also[ is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

There is no end to all the people nor to the past generations, yet future generations will not rejoice in him. This also is profitless and like chasing the wind.

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was— yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

Now all the people were in a dispute throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying,“ The king saved us from the hand of our enemies, he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.

The people of Israel were overthrown there before the servants of David, and a great slaughter of twenty thousand took place there that day.For the battle there was scattered over the face of the whole countryside, and the woods devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city— from Giloh— while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom continually increased in number.Now a messenger came to David, saying,“ The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying,“ I will be king”; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.( And his father had not rebuked him at any time by saying,“ Why have you done so?” He was also very good-looking. His mother had borne him after Absalom.)Then he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah.

For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

if then you have acted in truth and sincerity with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.But if not, let fire come from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and Beth Millo; and let fire come from the men of Shechem and from Beth Millo and devour Abimelech!”

Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying,“ Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying,‘ Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us’— thus you shall say to them:‘ My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist!And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!’”So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying,“ Come back to me the third day.”Then the king answered the people roughly, and rejected the advice which the elders had given him;and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying,“ My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!”So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from the Lord, that He might fulfill His word, which the Lord had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying:“ What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now, see to your own house, O David!” So Israel departed to their tents.

And all the people went up after him; and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth seemed to split with their sound.
