¿µ¾î¼º°æ
There is also another vanity, which is done upon the earth. There are just men to whom evils happen, as though they had done the works of the wicked: and there are wicked men, who are as secure as though they had the deeds of the just: but this also I judge most vain.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
Louis Second

Il est une vanité qui a lieu sur la terre: c'est qu'il y a des justes auxquels il arrive selon l'oeuvre des méchants, et des méchants auxquels il arrive selon l'oeuvre des justes. Je dis que c'est encore là une vanité
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Es ist eine Eitelkeit, die auf Erden geschieht. Es sind Gerechte, denen gehet es, als hätten sie Werke der Gottlosen, und sind Gottlose, denen gehet es, als hätten sie Werke der Gerechten. Ich sprach: Das ist auch eitel.
Vulgate
