4:4. Then I saw all labour and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

4:4. And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

4:4. Then I thought, "Why do people work so hard?" I saw people try to succeed and be better than other people. They do this because they are jealous. They don't want other people to have more than they have. This is senseless. It is like trying to catch the wind.

4:4. Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man\'s neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

4:4. Again, I H589 considered H7200 H853 all H3605 travail, H5999 and every H3605 right H3788 work, H4639 that H3588 for this H1931 a man H376 is envied H7068 of his neighbor H4480 H7453 . This H2088 [is] also H1571 vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307
