KJV:

NASB:
There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him, for this too is vanity and striving after wind.
KJV:
And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
NASB:
This also is a grievous evil-- exactly as a man is born, thus will he die. So what is the advantage to him who toils for the wind?
KJV:
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
NASB:
What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and a striving after wind.
KJV:
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
NASB:
The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
KJV:
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
NASB:
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
KJV:
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
NASB:
No man has authority to restrain the wind with the wind, or authority over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and evil will not deliver those who practice it.
