NET Notes

1 tn The term “another” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation to indicate that this is not the first “misfortune” described by the Teacher. See 5:13, 16; 6:1-2.

2 tn Heb “an evil.”

3 tn Heb “under the sun.”

4 tn Heb “like an error that comes forth from the presence of a ruler.”
