For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

Who knows what’s good for a person? They live for only a few meaningless days. They pass through life like a shadow. Who can tell them what will happen on earth after they are gone?

For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

In the few days of our meaningless lives, who knows how our days can best be spent? Our lives are like a shadow. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone?

For who knows what is good for anyone in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell anyone what will happen after him under the sun?

其實明天如何，你們還不知道。你們的生命是甚麼呢？你們原來是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。

出來如花，又被割下，飛去如影，不能存留。

我心裏說：耶和華是我的分，因此，我要仰望他。凡等候耶和華，心裏尋求他的，耶和華必施恩給他。人仰望耶和華，靜默等候他的救恩，這原是好的。人在幼年負軛，這原是好的。

故此，我見人莫強如在他經營的事上喜樂，因為這是他的分。他身後的事誰能使他回來得見呢？

惡人卻不得福樂，也不得長久的年日；這年日好像影兒，因他不敬畏神。

人好像一口氣；他的年日如同影兒快快過去。

你使我的年日窄如手掌；我一生的年數，在你面前如同無有。各人最穩妥的時候，真是全然虛幻。（細拉）世人行動實係幻影。他們忙亂，真是枉然；積蓄財寶，不知將來有誰收取。

他不知道將來的事，因為將來如何，誰能告訴他呢？

我們一生的年日是七十歲，若是強壯可到八十歲；但其中所矜誇的不過是勞苦愁煩，轉眼成空，我們便如飛而去。誰曉得你怒氣的權勢？誰按着你該受的敬畏曉得你的忿怒呢？求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好叫我們得着智慧的心。

至於我，我必在義中見你的面；我醒了的時候，得見你的形像就心滿意足了。

求你想念我的時候是何等的短少；你創造世人，要使他們歸何等的虛空呢？

我的年日如日影偏斜；我也如草枯乾。

世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。他向你所要的是甚麼呢？只要你行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與你的神同行。

他們的愛，他們的恨，他們的嫉妒，早都消滅了。在日光之下所行的一切事上，他們永不再有分了。

我們在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，與我們列祖一樣。我們在世的日子如影兒，不能長存。

我如日影漸漸偏斜而去；我如蝗蟲被抖出來。

我們不過從昨日才有，一無所知；我們在世的日子好像影兒。

有許多人說：誰能指示我們甚麼好處？耶和華啊，求你仰起臉來，光照我們。

他兒子得尊榮，他也不知道，降為卑，他也不覺得。

這些事都已聽見了，總意就是：敬畏神，謹守他的誡命，這是人所當盡的本分。

他為我們選擇產業，就是他所愛之雅各的榮耀。（細拉）

我心裏察究，如何用酒使我肉體舒暢，我心卻仍以智慧引導我；又如何持住愚昧，等我看明世人，在天下一生當行何事為美。

耶和華是我的產業，是我杯中的分；我所得的，你為我持守。
