人不能長享富貴，終必死去，與獸無異。

但人居尊贵中不能长久，如同死亡的畜类一样。

人居尊贵中不能长久，如同死亡的畜类一样。

人居尊贵中不能长久，如同死亡的畜类一样。

人不能长享富贵，终必死去，与兽无异。

但是人不能长享富贵；他们就像要灭亡的牲畜一样。

可是人在尊荣中不能持久，就像要灭亡的牲畜一样。

但人居尊貴中不能長久，如同死亡的畜類一樣。

人居尊貴中不能長久，如同死亡的畜類一樣。

人居尊貴中不能長久，如同死亡的畜類一樣。

但是人不能長享富貴；他們就像要滅亡的牲畜一樣。

但人是不能久居於富貴的；他好似終被宰割的牲口一樣。

可是人在尊榮中不能持久，就像要滅亡的牲畜一樣。

人居尊位、不能久長、猶死亡之畜兮、

人爵雖顯、不得永存、猶禽獸之速亡兮。

豈知人在榮華、不能永久、無異滅亡之畜類、

意謂基業固。第宅保萬世。孳孳求田舍。瑣瑣標名字。

People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish.

Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on. They are like the animals. They die.

Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish.

but their fame will not last. They will die, just like animals.

But despite his assets, mankind will not last; he is like the animals that perish.

But man in his splendor will not endure; He is like the animals that perish.

Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.

But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

But despite his assets, man will not last; he is like the animals that perish.

Nevertheless man[ being] in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts[ that] perish.

but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.

But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.

我又想：「至於世人，上帝試驗他們，是要他們知道自己與獸類無異。因為人和獸的際遇並無分別，兩者都難逃一死，活著都靠一口氣。人並不比獸強，一切都是虛空。兩者都同歸一處，出於塵土，也歸於塵土。誰知道人的氣息會向上升，獸的氣息會降到地下呢？」

人有財富，卻無明智的心，無異於必死的獸類。

你使我的生命轉瞬即逝，我的歲月在你眼中不到片刻。人的生命不過是一絲氣息，（細拉）

但你們要跟世人一樣死去，像人間的王侯一樣滅亡。」

因為「芸芸眾生盡如草，榮華不過草上花；草必枯乾花必殘，

再者，人無法知道何時大難臨頭。禍患突然臨到時，人根本無法擺脫，就像魚落入險惡的網中，又像鳥兒陷入網羅。

富有的弟兄降卑，也要快樂，因為他會像花草一樣衰殘。驕陽升起，草就乾枯，花也凋謝，美麗就消失了。富有的人在忙忙碌碌中也會如此衰殘。
