For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who hath not laboured therein he giveth it-his portion! Even this is vanity and a great evil.

Again, I considered H7200 (8804) all travail H5999, and every right H3788 work H4639, that for this a man H376 is envied H7068 of his neighbour H7453. This [is] also vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit H7307.
