Eclesiastés 4

Bible in Basic English

4And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

Reina-Valera 1909

4Visto he asimismo que todo trabajo y toda excelencia de obras mueve la envidia del hombre contra su prójimo. También esto es vanidad y aflicción de espíritu.

King James Version

4Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

World English Bible

4Then 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.
