¹⁴ I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is ^[a](A)vanity and striving after wind.

¹¹ Thus I turned to all my works which my hands had done and the labor which I had labored to do, and behold, all was ^[a](A)vanity and striving after wind, and there was ^(B)no advantage under the sun.

¹⁷ So I ^(A)hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was ^[a]grievous to me; because everything is vanity and striving after wind.

⁴ I have seen that every labor and every ^(A)success of the work is the result of jealousy between a man and his neighbor. This too is ^[a](B)vanity and striving after wind.

⁶ One hand full of rest is ^(A)better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

¹⁶ There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be glad with him, for this too is ^(A)vanity and striving after wind.

⁹ What the eyes ^(A)see is better than what the soul goes after. This too is ^(B)vanity and striving after wind.
