- Τοῦτο πονηρὸν ἐν παντὶ πεποιημένῳ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον, ὅτι συνάντημα ἓν τοῖς πᾶσι· καί γε καρδία υἱῶν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπληρώθη πονηροῦ, καὶ περιφέρεια ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν πρὸς τοὺς νεκρούς.
- Toûto ponēròn en pantì pepoiēménōi hupò tòn hḗlion, hóti sunántēma hèn toîs pâsi; kaí ge kardía huiôn toû anthrṓpou eplērṓthē ponēroû, kaì periphéreia en kardíāi autôn en zōêi autôn, kaì opísō autôn pròs toùs nekroús.
- This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that they go to the dead.
- Τοῦτο πονηρὸν ἐν παντὶ πεποιημένῳ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον, ὅτι συνάντημα ἓν τοῖς πᾶσι· καί γε καρδία υἱῶν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπληρώθη πονηροῦ, καὶ περιφέρεια ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν πρὸς τοὺς νεκρούς.
