someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool.

My life has been useless, but in it i have seen everything.
some good people may die while others live on,
even though they are evil.

Getting involved in an arguement that is none of your business is like going down the street and grabbing a dog by the ears.

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Aug 13 2015, 11:23 PM)
What translation you're using? The first one doesn't sounds like it.

Ecclesiastes 5:4
New International Version
When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.

New Living Translation
When you make a promise to God, don't delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him.

English Standard Version
When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.

New American Standard Bible
When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

King James Bible
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Ecclesiastes 7:15
New International Version
In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.

New Living Translation
I have seen everything in this meaningless life, including the death of good young people and the long life of wicked people.

English Standard Version
In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing.

New American Standard Bible
I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.

King James Bible
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Proverbs 26:17
New International Version
Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.

New Living Translation
Interfering in someone else's argument is as foolish as yanking a dog's ears.

English Standard Version
Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

New American Standard Bible
Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.

King James Bible
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

wow, this is interesting.

mine is Good News Bible - Today's English Version, got it since year 2000 keep until now.

so from your point of view, does it make any different ?

i felt the meaning somehow deviate a little bit, from version to version.

or because mine is Today's English Version, so the words is more easier to understand ?

likewise in malay, isi tersurat, instead of isi tersirat.
