KJV:
Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
NASB:
For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man?
KJV:
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
NASB:
I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.
KJV:
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
NASB:
For there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a man's trouble is heavy upon him.
KJV:
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
NASB:
There is futility which is done on the earth, that is, there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked. On the other hand, there are evil men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I say that this too is futility.
KJV:
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
NASB:
For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion.
