Eclesiastés 2

Perciò, mi son rivolto a far perdere al mio cuore la speranza d'ogni fatica, intorno alla quale io mi sono affaticato sotto il sole.

Tornéme por tanto á desesperanzar mi corazón acerca de todo el trabajo en que me afané, y en que había ocupado debajo del sol mi sabiduría.

Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.
