 ⇔ but also saw that it raised the envy of others.
 ⇔ That is also pointless and chasing after the wind.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) became the envy of one’s neighbor

(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw I DOM all/each/any/every toil and=DOM all/each/any/every skill_of the,work that/for/because/then/when she/it envy_of (a)_man of,another_of,his also/yet this Abel and,chasing_of wind )

The word “envy” may be expressed as an adjective. Alternate translation: “made one’s neighbor envious”

(Occurrence 0) the envy of one’s neighbor

(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw I DOM all/each/any/every toil and=DOM all/each/any/every skill_of the,work that/for/because/then/when she/it envy_of (a)_man of,another_of,his also/yet this Abel and,chasing_of wind )

This could mean: (1) The neighbor envies the object his neighbor made, or (2) the neighbor envies the skills his neighbor has.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) vapor … an attempt to shepherd the wind

(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw I DOM all/each/any/every toil and=DOM all/each/any/every skill_of the,work that/for/because/then/when she/it envy_of (a)_man of,another_of,his also/yet this Abel and,chasing_of wind )

These two phrases are both metaphors that emphasize the idea of things being useless and futile.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) vapor

(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw I DOM all/each/any/every toil and=DOM all/each/any/every skill_of the,work that/for/because/then/when she/it envy_of (a)_man of,another_of,his also/yet this Abel and,chasing_of wind )

“mist.” The author speaks of things as being useless and meaningless as if they were vapor. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:14](../01/14.md). Alternate translation: “as useless as vapor” or “meaningless”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) an attempt to shepherd the wind

(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw I DOM all/each/any/every toil and=DOM all/each/any/every skill_of the,work that/for/because/then/when she/it envy_of (a)_man of,another_of,his also/yet this Abel and,chasing_of wind )

The author speaks of everything that people do as being useless as if they were trying to control the wind. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:14](../01/14.md). Alternate translation: “are as useless as trying to control the wind”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:4 Most people are motivated to success by a competitive drive. Since the fruits of these efforts have no intrinsic value, the Teacher recommends that moderation (4:5-6) replace envy.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
