Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

你们自己也都见过，为何全然变为虚妄呢？

看哪，你们自己也都见过，为何全变为这样虚妄呢？

看哪，你们自己也都见过，为何全变为这样虚妄呢？

其实你们也曾亲眼目睹，为何还讲这些虚妄之言？

你们都亲自见过，你们为什么成了这么虚妄呢？

你們自己也都見過，為何全然變為虛妄呢？

看哪，你們自己也都見過，為何全變為這樣虛妄呢？

看哪，你們自己也都見過，為何全變為這樣虛妄呢？

其實你們也曾親眼目睹，為何還講這些虛妄之言？

你們都親自見過，你們為甚麼成了這麼虛妄呢？

看哪、你們自己也都見過，為甚麼你們全變為虛妄呢？

爾皆見此、何故成為虛妄、

爾曹咸知斯理、何故出此迂談。

爾曹既知之、何故出此虛誕之語、

You have all seen this yourselves. Why then this meaningless talk?

You have seen those things yourselves. So why do you continue your useless talk?

Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

But you have seen all this, yet you say all these useless things to me.

All of you have seen this for yourselves, why do you keep up this empty talk?

Behold, all of you have seen it; Why then do you talk of nothing?

Surely all of you have seen it; Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?

All of you have seen this for yourselves, why do you keep up this empty talk?

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen[ it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

If you yourselves have all seen this, Why in the world do you continue this meaningless talk?

Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all is before them.All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

How long will ye vex my soul, And break me in pieces with words?These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.

But ye are forgers of lies; Ye are all physicians of no value.Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?Will ye show partiality to him? Will ye contend for God?Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?

For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.
