uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) madness and folly

(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned I to=see wisdom and,madness and,folly that/for/because/then/when what? the=humankind who,comes after the=king DOM which/who already done,him )

The words “madness” and “folly” have similar meanings and refer to foolish thinking and behavior, respectively. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:17](../01/17.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) For what can the next king do who comes after the king, which has not already been done?

(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned I to=see wisdom and,madness and,folly that/for/because/then/when what? the=humankind who,comes after the=king DOM which/who already done,him )

The author uses this rhetorical question to emphasize his point that the next king will not be able to do anything more valuable that what he had already done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “For the next king who comes after the king can do nothing that a king before him has not already done.”

(Occurrence 0) the next king … who comes after the king

(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned I to=see wisdom and,madness and,folly that/for/because/then/when what? the=humankind who,comes after the=king DOM which/who already done,him )

Alternate translation: “the king … who succeeds the current king” or “the next king … who comes after me”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:12 who can do this better than I, the king? No one after the Teacher will have any better perspective for comparing wisdom and folly because nothing new will be done under the sun (1:9-10).
