Holman Christian Standard Bible
There is a person without a companion , without even a son or brother, and though there is no end to all his struggles, his eyes are still not content with riches. “ So who am I struggling for,” he asks, “and depriving myself from good ? ” This too is futile and a miserable task.

New American Standard Bible
There was a certain man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches [and he never asked], "And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?" This too is vanity and it is a grievous task.

King James Bible
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. International Standard Version
Consider someone who is alone, having neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his work, and he is never satisfied with wealth. "So for whom do I work," he asks, "and deprive myself of pleasure?" This, too, is pointless and a terrible tragedy.

American Standard Version
There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then,'saith he , do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Young's Literal Translation
There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and he saith not, 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.Ecclesiastes 4:8 • Ecclesiastes 4:8 NIV • Ecclesiastes 4:8 NLT • Ecclesiastes 4:8 ESV • Ecclesiastes 4:8 NASB • Ecclesiastes 4:8 KJV • Ecclesiastes 4:8 Commentaries • Ecclesiastes 4:8 Bible Apps • Ecclesiastes 4:8 Biblia Paralela • Ecclesiastes 4:8 Chinese Bible • Ecclesiastes 4:8 French Bible • Ecclesiastes 4:8 German Bible
