This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?

Here’s something else that is very evil. Everyone is born, and everyone dies. And what do they get for their work? Nothing. It’s like working for the wind.

This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what gain is there to him who toils for the wind?

And this, too, is a very serious problem. People leave this world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for nothing— like working for the wind.

人在日光之下的一切劳碌有什么益处呢？

他们种的是风，收的是暴风。他们的庄稼长不出穗子，结不出籽粒，就是有收成，也要被外族人吃掉。

人就是赚得全世界，却丧失自己的生命，又有什么益处呢？

我们曾怀胎，痛苦呻吟，但产下来的却是一阵风。我们没有给世界带来拯救，也没有给世上带来生命。

众祭司从来不问‘耶和华在哪里？’执掌律法的不认识我，首领背叛我，先知靠巴力说预言，随从无用的假神。

不要去追求其他虚无的假神，它们对你们毫无益处，也不能拯救你们。

我看到日光之下有一件可悲的事：有人积攒财宝，反而害了自己。

不要为那必坏的食物劳苦，要为那存到永生的食物，就是人子要赐给你们的食物劳苦，因为父上帝把这权柄交给了人子。”

世人在日光之下劳心劳力，究竟得到什么呢？他们一生充满痛苦，劳碌中尽是愁烦，即使夜间心里也不安宁。这也是虚空。
