OET (OET-LV) Just_as I_gave DOM mind_of_my to_know wisdom and_to_see DOM the_business which it_is_done on the_earth/land if/because also in_the_day and_in_the_night sleep in/on/at/with_eyes_of_one’s not_he is_seeing.

OET (OET-RV) So when I set my mind on gaining wisdom
 ⇔ and observing all the business done on this earth,
 ⇔ because day and night there’s someone not sleeping,

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Occurrence 0) I applied my heart

(Some words not found in UHB: just=as I_give DOM mind_of,my to=know wisdom and,to,see DOM the,business which/who done on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land that/for/because/then/when also/even in_the=day and=in_the=night sleep in/on/at/with,eyes_of,one's not,he see )

Here the author refers to himself by his “heart” to emphasize his feelings. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:17](../01/17.md). Alternate translation: “I applied myself”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) the work that is done on the earth

(Some words not found in UHB: just=as I_give DOM mind_of,my to=know wisdom and,to,see DOM the,business which/who done on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land that/for/because/then/when also/even in_the=day and=in_the=night sleep in/on/at/with,eyes_of,one's not,he see )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the work that people do on the earth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Occurrence 0) without sleep for the eyes

(Some words not found in UHB: just=as I_give DOM mind_of,my to=know wisdom and,to,see DOM the,business which/who done on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land that/for/because/then/when also/even in_the=day and=in_the=night sleep in/on/at/with,eyes_of,one's not,he see )

Here a person is represented by his “eyes.” Alternate translation: “without sleeping”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:16–9:12 Another generalization from lifelong observation is that death appears to be meaningless. Why do some die and others live longer? God’s sovereign decision in this matter is unpredictable (7:13-14).
