Coptic: αυω νιμ πετσοουν jε fναρσοφοσ η jε νfραθητ αυω νfρjοεισ επαhισε τηρf νταιsπhισε νhητf αυω αιμοκμεκ νhητf hα πρη πεικετ ουπετsουειτ πε
English: And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labour in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also vanity.
Coptic: αυω αικτοι ανοκ ετρε παhητ αποτασση hμ παhισε τηρf νταιsπhισε νhητf hαροf μπρη
English: so I went about to dismiss from my heart all my labour wherein I had laboured under the sun.

English: For there is such a man that his labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; yet this man shall give his portion to one who has not laboured therein. This is also vanity and great evil.
Coptic: jε sασsωπε μπρωμε hμ πεfhισε τηρf αυω hμ πουωs μπεfhητ ετfhοσε νhητf hαροf μπρη
English: For it happens to a man in all his labour, and in the purpose of his heart wherein he labours under the sun.

English: A man has nothing really good to eat, and to drink, and to shew his soul as good in his trouble. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
Coptic: jε νιμ πετναουωμ νfσω εjντf
English: For who shall eat, or who shall drink, without him?
Coptic: jε πρωμε ναγαθοσ αft ναf νουσοφια μπεfμτο εβολ αυω ουσοουν μν ουουνοf πετρνοβε hωωf αft ναf νουπερισπασμοσ ετρεfουωh ετοοτf αυω νfσοουh εhουν ετρεft μπαγαθοσ μπμτο εβολ μπνουτε jε πεικε ουπετsουειτ πε αυω ουπροhαιρεσισ πε μπνα
English: For God has given to the man who is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but he has given to the sinner trouble, to add and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God; for this is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.
Coptic: ουοειs πετsοοπ νουον νιμ αυω ουσηυ πετsοοπ hν hωβ νιμ hαροσ ντπε
English: To all things there is a time, and a season for every matter under heaven.

English: All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time: he has also set the whole world in their heart, that man might not find out the work which God has wrought from the beginning even to the end.
Coptic: αιειμε jε μν αγαθον sοοπ ναυ νhητου νσα ευφρανε αυω εειρε νουαγαθον hμ πεfωνh
