| 3 | 9 | What hath man more of his labour? | quid habet amplius homo de labore suo |
| 3 | 10 | I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it. | vidi adflictionem quam dedit Deus filiis hominum ut distendantur in ea |
| 3 | 11 | He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end. | cuncta fecit bona in tempore suo et mundum tradidit disputationi eorum ut non inveniat homo opus quod operatus est Deus ab initio usque ad finem |
| 3 | 12 | And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life. | et cognovi quod non esset melius nisi laetari et facere bene in vita sua |
| 3 | 13 | For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God. | omnis enim homo qui comedit et bibit et videt bonum de labore suo hoc donum Dei est |
| 3 | 14 | I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared. | didici quod omnia opera quae fecit Deus perseverent in perpetuum non possumus eis quicquam addere nec auferre quae fecit Deus ut timeatur |
| 3 | 15 | That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past. | quod factum est ipsum permanet quae futura sunt iam fuerunt et Deus instaurat quod abiit |
| 3 | 16 | I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity. | vidi sub sole in loco iudicii impietatem et in loco iustitiae iniquitatem |

| 3 | 18 | I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts. | dixi in corde meo de filiis hominum ut probaret eos Deus et ostenderet similes esse bestiis |
| 3 | 19 | Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity. | idcirco unus interitus est hominis et iumentorum et aequa utriusque condicio sicut moritur homo sic et illa moriuntur similiter spirant omnia et nihil habet homo iumento amplius cuncta subiacent vanitati |
| 3 | 20 | And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together. | et omnia pergunt ad unum locum de terra facta sunt et in terram pariter revertentur |
| 3 | 21 | Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward? | quis novit si spiritus filiorum Adam ascendat sursum et si spiritus iumentorum descendat deorsum |
| 3 | 22 | And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him? | et deprehendi nihil esse melius quam laetari hominem in opere suo et hanc esse partem illius quis enim eum adducet ut post se futura cognoscat |
