KJV:
I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
NASB:
I bought male and female slaves and I had homeborn slaves. Also I possessed flocks and herds larger than all who preceded me in Jerusalem.
KJV:
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
NASB:
Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.
KJV:
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
NASB:
All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor.
KJV:
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
NASB:
For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.
KJV:
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
NASB:
I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?
KJV:
Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
NASB:
So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living.
KJV:
Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
NASB:
But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
KJV:
Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
NASB:
One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.
