Berean Standard Bible
“All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.”
The Teacher surveys life under the sun and finds that things keep cycling without lasting satisfaction. After describing the endless turning of nature and history, he turns to human experience.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)
Todas las cosas andan en trabajo más que el hombre pueda decir: ni los ojos viendo se hartan de ver, ni los oídos se hinchen de oir.

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Todo es indecible fastidio y fatiga. Por más que vemos, jamás nos satisfacemos; por más que oímos, no estamos contentos. La historia es simple repetición. Nada hay realmente nuevo; todo ha sido hecho o dicho antes. ¿Puedes tú indicar algo que sea nuevo? ¿Cómo sabes que no existió ya en remotas edades? No recordamos lo ocurrido en aquellos tiempos antiguos, y en las futuras generaciones nadie recordará lo que hayamos hecho ahora.
