There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is vanity, yes, it is a miserable business.
King James Version Public Domain

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

There is one and there is not a second —even a son or brother, there is not for him—and there is no end to all his toil. Also, his eye is not satisfied wealth. So why I toiling and causing my soul to lack from good things? Even this vapor, and it an unpleasant business.
