IRVTE
15. కాబట్టి బుద్ధిహీనుడికి జరిగేదే నాకూ జరుగుతుంది, మరి నేను ఇంత జ్ఞానం ఎందుకు సంపాదించాను అని నా హృదయంలో అనుకున్నాను. కాబట్టి ఇదీ నిష్ప్రయోజనమే.

TEV
15. కావున బుద్ధి హీనునికి సంభవించునట్లే నాకును సంభవించును గనుక నేను అధిక జ్ఞానము ఏల సంపాదించితినని నా హృదయమందనుకొంటిని. ఇదియు వ్యర్థమే.

ERVTE
15. నాలో నేను ఇలా అనుకున్నాను, “ఒక బుద్ధిహీనుడికి పట్టే గతే నాకూ పడుతుంది. మరి జ్ఞానార్జన కోసం నేనెందుకు అంతగా తంటాలు పడినట్లు?” నేనింకా ఇలా అనుకున్నాను: “జ్ఞానార్జనకూడా ప్రయోజనం లేనిదే.”
