English Standard Version

14 I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity[1] and a striving after wind.[2] (Ec 1:2; Ec 2:11; Ec 2:17; Ec 2:26; Ec 4:4; Ec 6:9) 

New International Version

14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 

New International Reader’s Version

14 I’ve seen what is done on this earth. All of it is meaningless. It’s like chasing the wind. 

King James Version

14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
