Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Being satisfied with what you have is better than always wanting more. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless— like chasing the wind.

Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and striving after wind.

我观察一切日光之下所做的事，看啊，都是虚空，好像捕风。

水蛭有两个女儿，她们不停地叫：“给我！给我！”三样东西从不知足，永不言“够”的共有四样：阴间、不孕的妇人、干旱的土地和火焰。

我认识到，人生在世没有什么比欢乐、享受更好。人人都该吃喝、享受自己劳苦的成果，这是上帝的恩赐。

上帝赐给人财富和尊荣，叫他拥有所渴望的一切，却使他无法享用，倒让别人享用。这是虚空，是极大的悲哀。

我认为人生最美最善的是，在上帝所赐的短暂岁月中尽情吃喝，享受自己在日光之下劳苦得来的成果。因为这是人当得的。

倘若我的脚偏离正路，贪图眼目之欲，或手上粘着罪污，

我又看见人的一切劳碌和成就原是出于争强好胜。这也是虚空，如同捕风。

世人在日光之下劳心劳力，究竟得到什么呢？他们一生充满痛苦，劳碌中尽是愁烦，即使夜间心里也不安宁。这也是虚空。对人而言，没有什么比吃喝并享受劳碌之乐更好，我看这也是出自上帝的手。

然而，当我回顾双手辛勤经营的一切成就时，唉，却发现都是虚空，都是捕风；日光之下的一切都毫无益处。

传道者说：虚空的虚空，虚空的虚空，一切都是虚空。

年轻人啊，在年轻时要快乐，要在青春岁月里使自己的心欢畅。心里想做什么就去做，眼睛想看什么就去看。然而，要切记：上帝必照你所行的一切审判你。

“很久以前，我折断你的轭，解开你的捆索，你却拒绝事奉我，在各高岗上、绿树下躺卧淫乱。
