3. Formal Translation This is evil in all that is done under the sun, for one event comes to all; and the heart of the sons of man is full of evil, and madness fills their heart during their lives, and after that they go to the dead. |
3. Dynamic Translation This is a tragedy affecting everything done under the sun, since one fate meets everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of people are filled with evil, and foolishness lives within them throughout their days, and afterward they join the dead. |
