KNV
4. ತಿರುಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪ್ರಯಾಸಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೂ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೂ ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ತನ್ನ ನೆರೆಯವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಸೂಯೆ ಪಡುತ್ತಾನೆಂದೂ ನಾನು ತಿಳುಕೊಂಡೆನು. ಇದೂ ಕೂಡ ವ್ಯರ್ಥವೂ ಪ್ರಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಆಯಾಸಕರವೂ ಆಗಿದೆ.
ERVKN
4. ಆಮೇಲೆ ನಾನು, “ಜನರು ಪ್ರಯಾಸಪಟ್ಟು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವುದೇಕೆ?” ಎಂದು ಆಲೋಚಿಸಿದೆ. ಜನರು ಏಳಿಗೆ ಹೊಂದಲು ಮತ್ತು ಬೇರೆಯವರಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸುವರು; ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರ ಮತ್ಸರವೇ ಕಾರಣ. ಇದೂ ಗಾಳಿಯನ್ನು ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟಿದ್ದ ಹಾಗೆ ವ್ಯರ್ಥ.
IRVKN
4. ಆಗ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಪ್ರಯಾಸವನ್ನು, ಕೈಗೂಡುವ ಸಕಲ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಇವು ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಮತ್ಸರಕ್ಕೆ ಆಸ್ಪದವೆಂದು ಗ್ರಹಿಸಿಕೊಂಡೆನು. ಇದು ಗಾಳಿಯನ್ನು ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟಿದ ಹಾಗೆ ವ್ಯರ್ಥವೇ.
