Ecclesiastes 4:8
“There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.”
King James Version (KJV)

King James Version (KJV)English
There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
American Standard Version (ASV)English
There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Open English Bible (OEB)English
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Da ist ein einzelner und kein zweiter, auch hat er weder Sohn noch Bruder, und all seiner Mühe ist kein Ende; gleichwohl werden seine Augen des Reichtums nicht satt: "Für wen mühe ich mich doch, und lasse meine Seele Mangel leiden am Guten?" Auch das ist Eitelkeit und ein übles Geschäft.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Está un hombre solo y sin sucesor; que ni tiene hijo ni hermano; mas nunca cesa de trabajar, ni sus ojos se hartan de sus riquezas, ni se pregunta: ¿Para quién trabajo yo, y defraudo mi alma del bien? También esto es vanidad, y duro trabajo.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Havia um que era sozinho, sem filho, nem irmão; e seu trabalho não tem fim, nem seus olhos se fartam de riquezas; nem diz : Para quem estou trabalhando, e privando minha alma do que é bom? Também isso é futilidade e enfadonha ocupação.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Há o tipo de homem que é solitário. Ele não tem ninguém, nem filho, nem irmão. Não há fim para todo seu trabalho, e seus olhos não ficam satisfeitos com a riqueza obtida. Então, ele questiona: para quem estou trabalhando duramente e me privando do prazer? Isso também é vaidade, uma má situação.
