uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) For what profit does the person gain who works so hard and tries in his heart to complete his labors under the sun?

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when what receive to_a,man in=all toil_of,his and,in/on/at/with,strain_of heart_of,his which,he labours below/instead_of the,sun )

The author uses a rhetorical question to emphasize that the man who works hard gains nothing. Translate “what profit does … gain” as you did in [Ecclesiastes 1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: “For the person who works so hard and tries in his heart to complete his labors under the sun gains nothing.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) works so hard and tries in his heart

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when what receive to_a,man in=all toil_of,his and,in/on/at/with,strain_of heart_of,his which,he labours below/instead_of the,sun )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize how strenuously the person works.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) tries in his heart

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when what receive to_a,man in=all toil_of,his and,in/on/at/with,strain_of heart_of,his which,he labours below/instead_of the,sun )

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “tries anxiously”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) under the sun

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when what receive to_a,man in=all toil_of,his and,in/on/at/with,strain_of heart_of,his which,he labours below/instead_of the,sun )

This refers to things that are done on earth. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: “on the earth”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:12-23 The Teacher now looks at the value of wisdom (2:12-17) and hard work (2:18-23). These, too, are “meaningless” (2:17).
