sun; and, behold, all is vanity and
vexation of spirit.

vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the
sun.

toiled to
achieve, I found everything to be
futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the
sun.

sun is
grievous unto me: for all is vanity and
vexation of spirit.

foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked
skillfully under the
sun. This too is
futile.

despair of all the labour which I took under the
sun.

despair over all the labor that I had done under the
sun.

vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the
sun?
For what does a man get for all the
toil and
striving with which he labors under the
sun?
