5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
He is a proud man,
And he does not stay at home.
Because he (A)enlarges his desire as [a]hell,

He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.

For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;
And (A)this was my [a]reward from all my labor.

And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was (B)vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.
