Ecclesiastes 4:8 in English
Ecclesiastes 4:8 · Berean Standard Bible
There is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.
Context
6Ọ ka mma inwe ihe ntakịrị na obi udo,
karịa mmadụ inweju akụ site nʼịdọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ,

o nweghị nwa, o nwekwaghị ụmụnne.
Mgbe niile, ọ na-adọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ,
ma nke a emeghị ka afọ ju ya nʼakụnụba o nwere.
Ọ jụrụ sị, “Ọ bụ nʼihi onye ka m ji adọgbu onwe m nʼọrụ,”
“nʼihi gịnị ka m ji anapụ onwe m ihe obi aṅụrị?”
Ihe nke a enweghị isi,

Ma mgbe ọ bụ naanị otu onye,
onye ga-apalite ya? Ọ nọ nʼime nsogbu.
