| 1-Kor 1:23 | Akā, ke haʻi aku nei mākou iā Kristo i kaulia ma ke keʻa, he mea hina no nā Iudaio, a he mea lapuwale no nā Helene; | but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, |

| 1-Tim 1:6 | Akā, ua kāpae kekahi poʻe mai ia mea aku, a ua huli aʻe hoʻi ma ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa lapuwale; | Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. |
| 1-Tim 4:7 | Akā, e pale aku i nā kaʻao lapuwale a nā luāhine, e hoʻoikaika ʻoe ma ka manaʻo i ke Akua. | Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. |

| Hal 10:7 | Ua piha kona waha i ke amuamu, ka wahaheʻe, a me ka hoʻopunipuni; Ma lalo aʻe o kona alelo ke kolohe a me ka mea lapuwale. | His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. |
| Hal 12:2 | Ke kamaʻilio nei kekahi i kekahi i ka mea lapuwale, Me nā lehelehe malimali a me ka naʻau lua e ʻōlelo nei lākou. | Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception. |
| Hal 24:4 | ʻO ka mea lima paumāʻele ʻole a me ka naʻau maʻemaʻe; ʻO ka mea i paulele ʻole kona ʻuhane i ka mea lapuwale; ʻAʻole hoʻi i hoʻohiki i ke Akua me ka wahaheʻe: | He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. |
| Hal 31:6 | Ua hoʻowahāwahā au i ka poʻe manaʻo ma nā mea lapuwale hoʻopunipuni; Akā, ke hilinaʻi aku nei au iā Iēhova. | I hate those who cling to worthless idols; I trust in the LORD. |
| Hal 33:10 | Ke hoʻolilo nei ʻo Iēhova i ka manaʻo o nā kānaka i mea ʻole; Ke hoʻolilo nei ʻo ia i ka noʻonoʻo o nā lāhui kanaka i mea lapuwale. | The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. |
| Hal 33:17 | ʻO ka lio he mea lapuwale ia e malu ai: ʻAʻohe mea e hoʻōla ʻia e ia ma kona ikaika nui. | A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. |
| Hal 39:6 | ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke hele nei kēlā kanaka kēia kanaka me he aka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻole lā: He ʻoiaʻiʻo, ma ka mea lapuwale i pīhoihoi ai lākou: Hoʻāhu aʻela ia i ka waiwai ʻaʻole hoʻi i ʻike i ka mea nāna ia e ʻohi. | Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it. |
| Hal 41:6 | Inā i hele mai ia e ʻike mai, Ua ʻōlelo nō ia ma ka lapuwale; Hōʻuluʻulu hoʻi kona naʻau i ka hewa nona iho; A puka ia i waho, haʻi akula nō ia | Whenever one comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it abroad. |
| Hal 49:13 | ʻO kēia ʻaoʻao o lākou, ʻo ko lākou lapuwale nō ia: Akā, ua hoʻopono ko lākou mau hope i ko lākou mau ʻōlelo. Sila. | This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. "Selah" |
| Hal 60:11 | E kōkua mai ʻoe iā mākou i ka pōpilikia; No ka mea, he lapuwale ke kōkua ʻana o ke kanaka. | Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. |
| Hal 62:9 | ʻOiaʻiʻo, he mea lapuwale nā makaʻāinana, He mea ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻole nā kānaka koʻikoʻi; Aia waiho ʻia ma ka mea kaupaona, Pau pū lākou i ka māmā, ʻaʻole ka hā. | Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. |
| Hal 62:10 | Mai noho a hilinaʻi i ka hoʻoluhi hewa ʻana; Mai noho a lana lapuwale ko ʻoukou manaʻo ma ka lawe wale ʻana. I ka wā e māhuahua ai ka waiwai, mai paulele ko ʻoukou naʻau i laila. | Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them. |
| Hal 85:8 | E hoʻolohe aku nō au i ka mea a ke Akua a Iēhova e ʻōlelo mai ai; No ka mea, e haʻi mai nō ʻo ia i ka malu no kona poʻe kānaka, a me kona poʻe haipule: Mai hoʻi hou naʻe lākou i ka mea lapuwale. | I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints-- but let them not return to folly. |
| Hal 92:6 | ʻAʻole e ʻike ke kanaka noʻonoʻo ʻole, ʻAʻole hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo ka lapuwale i kēia. | The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, |
| Hal 94:11 | Ua ʻike mai nō ʻo Iēhova i ka manaʻo o kānaka, He lapuwale ia. | The LORD knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile. |
| Hal 96:5 | Ua pau loa nā akua o nā kānaka i ka lapuwale; Akā, na Iēhova nō i hana i ka lani. | For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. |
| Hal 119:37 | E hoʻohuli ʻoe i koʻu mau maka, mai ka ʻike ʻana i ka mea lapuwale; A e hoʻōla mai ʻoe iaʻu ma kou ʻaoʻao. | Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. |
| Hal 125:5 | ʻO ka poʻe kāpae ma ko lākou ala keʻekeʻe, E alakaʻi pū aku nō ʻo Iēhova iā lākou me ka poʻe hana lapuwale; A he malu nō ma luna o ka ʻIseraʻela. | But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel. |
| Hal 139:20 | Ka poʻe ʻōlelo hewa aku iā ʻoe, Ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe kou poʻe ʻenemi ma ka lapuwale. | They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. |
| Sol 1:7 | ʻO ka makaʻu iā Iēhova, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka ʻike; A ʻo ka naʻauao, a me ke aʻo ʻia mai, ua hoʻowahāwahā ʻia e ka poʻe lapuwale. | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. |
| Sol 1:32 | No ka mea, ʻo ka haʻalele ʻana aku o ka poʻe naʻaupō, ʻo ia ko lākou pepehi ʻia mai, A ʻo ka noho nanea ʻana o ka poʻe lapuwale, ʻo ko lākou make ia. | For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; |
| Sol 10:1 | ʻO ke keiki akamai, hoʻohauʻoli mai ʻo ia i kona makua kāne; A ʻo ke keiki lapuwale, hoʻouluhua mai ʻo ia i kona makuahine. | The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. |
| Sol 10:8 | ʻO ka mea i akamai ka naʻau, e hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā kauoha; Akā, ʻo ka mea i lapuwale nā lehelehe, e hina ʻo ia. | The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. |
| Sol 10:10 | ʻO ka mea i ʻimo ka maka, hōʻeha mai ʻo ia; ʻO ka mea i lapuwale nā lehelehe, e hina ʻo ia. | He who winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool comes to ruin. |
| Sol 10:14 | Hoʻopaʻa ka poʻe akamai i ka ʻike; A ʻo ka waha o ka mea lapuwale, kokoke ia i ka make. | Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin. |
| Sol 10:17 | Ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ola ka mea i mālama i ke aʻo ʻana mai; ʻO ka mea i pale aʻe i ke aʻo ʻana, ua hana lapuwale ʻo ia. | He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. |
| Sol 10:18 | ʻO ka mea hūnā i ka huhū me nā lehelehe wahaheʻe, A ʻahiʻahi wale aku, ʻo ia ka lapuwale. | He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. |
| Sol 10:21 | ʻO nā lehelehe o ka mea pono, hānai nō i nā mea he nui; ʻO ka poʻe lapuwale, no ka noʻonoʻo ʻole e make ana lākou. | The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment. |
| Sol 10:23 | Ua ʻakaʻaka ka mea lapuwale, ke hana kolohe; ʻO ke akamai, na ke kanaka ʻike nō ia. | A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom. |
| Sol 12:11 | ʻO ka mea i mahi i kona ʻāina, e māʻona nō i ka ʻai; Akā, ʻo ka hoʻopili mea ʻai me ka poʻe palaualelo, he lapuwale ia. | He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment. |
| Sol 12:23 | ʻO ke kanaka noʻeau, e waiho ana iā ia ka ʻike; ʻO ka naʻau o nā naʻaupō, hōʻike wale nō ia i ka lapuwale. | A prudent man keeps his knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools blurts out folly. |
| Sol 13:16 | E hana nō nā mea noʻonoʻo a pau ma ka ʻike; ʻO ka naʻaupō hoʻi kai hōʻike aku i ka lapuwale. | Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly. |
| Sol 13:19 | ʻO ka makemake i loaʻa mai, he ʻono nō ia i ka ʻuhane; He mea hoʻowahāwahā i ka poʻe lapuwale, ka haʻalele i ka hewa. | A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil. |
| Sol 13:20 | ʻO ka mea hele pū me ka poʻe akamai, akamai nō ia; ʻO ka hoalauna o ka poʻe lapuwale, e māhuahua ka hewa. | He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. |
| Sol 14:7 | E huli aʻe ʻoe mai ke alo aku o ke kanaka lapuwale, Ke hoʻomaopopo ʻole ʻoe i nā lehelehe ʻike. | Stay away from a foolish man, for you will not find knowledge on his lips. |
| Sol 14:8 | ʻO ke akamai o ka mea ʻike, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kona ʻaoʻao; ʻO ka lapuwale o ka poʻe naʻaupō, ʻo ia ka hoʻopunipuni. | The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception. |
| Sol 14:9 | ʻAkaʻaka ka poʻe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poʻe hoʻopololei ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia. | Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright. |
| Sol 14:16 | ʻO ka mea naʻauao, makaʻu nō ia, a haʻalele i ka hewa; ʻO ka mea lapuwale hoʻi, he haʻaheo kona a me ka makaʻu ʻole. | A wise man fears the LORD and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless. |
| Sol 14:17 | ʻO ka hikiwawe o ka huhū, ʻo ia ka hana lapuwale; ʻO ke kanaka ʻimi i nā manaʻo hewa, ua inaina ʻo ia. | A quick-tempered man does foolish things, and a crafty man is hated. |
| Sol 14:18 | E ili mai ka lapuwale no ka poʻe noʻonoʻo ʻole; E kau hoʻi ka ʻike me he lei lā ma luna o ka poʻe naʻauao. | The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. |
| Sol 14:24 | ʻO ka lei o ka poʻe akamai, ʻo ia ko lākou waiwai; ʻO ka lapuwale o ka poʻe naʻaupō, he lapuwale wale iho nō ia. | The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly. |
| Sol 14:29 | ʻO ka mea ʻuʻumi i ka huhū, ʻo ia kai noʻonoʻo nui; ʻO ka mea hikiwawe i ka huhū, ʻo ia ke hōʻike i ka lapuwale. | A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly. |
| Sol 14:33 | Noho nō ka naʻauao ma ka naʻau o ka mea noʻonoʻo; Ua ʻikea hoʻi ko loko o ka poʻe lapuwale. | Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known. |
| Sol 15:2 | ʻO ke elelo o ka poʻe akamai, hōʻike pololei aku ia i ka ʻike; ʻO ka waha hoʻi o ka poʻe lapuwale, hū aʻela ia i ka lapuwale. | The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. |
| Sol 15:5 | Hoʻowahāwahā ka mea lapuwale i ke aʻo ʻia mai e kona makua, ʻO ka mea hoʻolohe i ke aʻo ʻia mai, ʻo ia ka mea naʻauao. | A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. |
| Sol 15:7 | ʻO nā lehelehe o ka poʻe akamai hoʻolaha nō i ka ʻike; ʻO ka naʻau o ka poʻe lapuwale, ʻaʻole pēlā. | The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools. |
| Sol 15:14 | ʻO ka naʻau o ka mea naʻauao, ʻimi ʻo ia i ka ʻike; ʻO ka waha o ka poʻe naʻaupō, pāʻina nō ia i ka lapuwale. | The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly. |
| Sol 15:20 | ʻO ke keiki akamai, hoʻohauʻoli ʻo ia i kona makua kāne; ʻO ke kanaka lapuwale, hoʻowahāwahā ʻo ia i kona makuahine. | A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother. |
| Sol 15:21 | ʻO ka hana lapuwale, he ʻoliʻoli ia i ka naʻaupō; ʻO ke kanaka naʻauao hoʻi, ʻo ia kai hele pololei. | Folly delights a man who lacks judgment, but a man of understanding keeps a straight course. |
| Sol 16:22 | He pūnāwai ola ka naʻauao i ka mea nona ia; ʻO ke aʻo ʻia mai o ka poʻe lapuwale, he lapuwale nō ia. | Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools. |
| Sol 17:10 | Komo ke aʻo ʻia mai i loko o ka mea naʻauao, Ma mua o nā hahau ʻana he haneri i loko o ka mea lapuwale. | A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool. |
| Sol 17:12 | E aho ke hālāwai ka bea keiki make me ke kanaka, ʻAʻole ka mea naʻaupō i loko o kona lapuwale. | Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly. |
| Sol 17:16 | No ke aha lā kēia, he kumu kūʻai ma ka lima o ka mea lapuwale, E kūʻai aku ai i ke akamai, ʻaʻohe ona manaʻo ma laila? | Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom? |
| Sol 17:21 | ʻO ka mea i hānau mai nāna ke keiki lapuwale, he kaumaha kona; ʻAʻole e ʻoliʻoli ka makua kāne o ke keiki naʻaupō. | To have a fool for a son brings grief; there is no joy for the father of a fool. |
| Sol 17:24 | I mua i ke alo o ka mea noʻonoʻo ma laila ka naʻauao; Aia hoʻi nā maka o ka mea lapuwale, ma nā wēlau o ka honua. | A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth. |
| Sol 17:25 | ʻO ke keiki lapuwale, he kaumaha ia no kona makua kāne, He mea ʻawahia hoʻi i ka mea nāna ia i hānau mai. | A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him. |
| Sol 18:2 | ʻAʻole i hāliu mai ka mea lapuwale i ka ʻike, Akā, ma ka hōʻike ʻana i kona naʻau. | A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions. |
| Sol 18:6 | ʻO nā lehelehe o ka mea lapuwale, aia nō ma ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa; Ua maopopo kona waha e pono ke hahau ʻia. | A fool's lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating. |
| Sol 18:7 | ʻO ka waha o ka mea lapuwale, ʻo ia kona mea e make ai; A ʻo kona mau lehelehe hoʻi, ʻo ia ke pahele o kona ʻuhane. | A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul. |
| Sol 18:13 | ʻO ka mea hoʻopuka i kona manaʻo ma mua o kona lohe ʻana, He lapuwale ia, a he mea ia nona e hilahila ai. | He who answers before listening-- that is his folly and his shame. |
| Sol 19:1 | Maikaʻi ka mea ʻilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Ma mua o ka mea lehelehe wahaheʻe, a lapuwale hoʻi. | Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse. |
| Sol 19:3 | ʻO ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, ʻo ia kai hoʻokāpae i kona ʻaoʻao; A ukiuki aku kona naʻau iā Iēhova. | A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD. |
| Sol 19:10 | ʻAʻole i kūpono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; ʻAʻole loa hoʻi i ke kauā, ke noho ma luna o nā aliʻi. | It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury-- how much worse for a slave to rule over princes! |
| Sol 19:13 | He mea pōʻino i ka makua kāne ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ʻana ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa o ka wahine. | A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping. |
| Sol 19:29 | Ua mākaukau ka hoʻopaʻi ʻia no ka poʻe haʻakei, ʻO ka haua hoʻi no ke kua o ka poʻe lapuwale. | Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools. |
| Sol 20:3 | He mea nani nō ke kanaka, ke hoʻōki i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa: Akā, e huhū nō nā mea lapuwale a pau. | It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. |
| Sol 21:20 | Aia ka waiwai i makemake ʻia a me ka ʻaila ma ka hale o ka mea naʻauao; A ʻo ke kanaka lapuwale, moni ihola ʻo ia ia mea. | In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. |
| Sol 23:9 | Mai haʻi aku ʻoe i nā pepeiao o ka mea lapuwale; No ka mea, e hoʻowahāwahā ʻo ia i ka pololei o kāu ʻōlelo. | Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words. |
| Sol 24:9 | ʻO ka manaʻo lapuwale, he hewa ia; A he hoʻopailua i nā kānaka ka mea hoʻowahāwahā. | The schemes of folly are sin, and men detest a mocker. |
| Sol 26:1 | E like me ka hau i ke kau, E like me ka ua i ka wā e ʻohi ai, Pēlā i kū ʻole ai ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale. | Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool. |
| Sol 26:3 | I mea hahau no ka lio, i kaula waha no ka hoki, I lāʻau hahau hoʻi no ke kua o nā mea lapuwale. | A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! |
| Sol 26:4 | Mai ʻōlelo aku i ka mea lapuwale e like me kona naʻaupō ʻana, O like ʻoe me ia. | Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. |
| Sol 26:5 | E ʻōlelo nō i ka mea lapuwale e like me kona naʻaupō ʻana, O naʻauao ʻo ia i kona maka iho. | Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes. |
| Sol 26:6 | ʻO ka mea ʻoki aʻe i nā wāwae a loaʻa iā ia ka pōʻino, ʻO ia kai kauoha aku i nā manaʻo ma ka lima o ka mea lapuwale. | Like cutting off one's feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool. |
| Sol 26:7 | E lawe aku i nā wāwae o ka mea ʻoʻopa, A me ka ʻōlelo nane mai loko aʻe o ka waha o ka poʻe lapuwale. | Like a lame man's legs that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. |
| Sol 26:8 | E like me ka nākiʻi ʻana i ka ʻiliʻili ma ka maʻa a paʻa, Pēlā ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka hanohano no ka mea lapuwale. | Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool. |
| Sol 26:9 | ʻO ka mea ʻoiʻoi e ʻō ana i ka lima o ka mea ʻona, ʻO ia ka ʻōlelo nane ma ka waha o ka poʻe lapuwale. | Like a thornbush in a drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. |
| Sol 26:10 | ʻO ka mea nui nāna i hana nā mea a pau, ʻO ia ka mea nāna e hoʻopaʻi i ka mea lapuwale a e hoʻopaʻi hoʻi i ka poʻe lawehala. | Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passer-by. |
| Sol 26:11 | E like me ka ʻīlio i hoʻi hou aku i kona luaʻi, Pēlā ka mea naʻaupō e hoʻi hou ana i kona lapuwale. | As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. |
| Sol 28:19 | ʻO ka mea mahi i ka ʻāina e māʻona ʻo ia i ka ʻai; ʻO ka mea hoʻopili mea ʻai ma hope o ka poʻe lapuwale e piha ʻo ia i ka ʻilihune. | He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. |
| Sol 30:8 | ʻO ka lapuwale, a ʻo ka wahaheʻe, E hoʻokaʻawale aʻe mai oʻu aku nei; Mai hāʻawi mai iaʻu i ka ʻilihune, ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka waiwai; E hānai mai iaʻu i ka ʻai kūpono noʻu; | Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. |
| Sol 30:22 | ʻO ke kauā ke lilo i aliʻi; ʻO ka mea lapuwale ke māʻona i ka ʻai; | a servant who becomes king, a fool who is full of food, |
| Sol 30:32 | Inā he lapuwale ʻoe i kou hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻana, Inā paha he manaʻo ʻino kou, e kau ana ka lima ma ka waha. | "If you have played the fool and exalted yourself, or if you have planned evil, clap your hand over your mouth! |
| Kekah 1:2 | Lapuwale o nā lapuwale, wahi a ke kahuna; lapuwale o nā lapuwale, pau loa nā mea i ka lapuwale. | "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." |
| Kekah 1:14 | Ua ʻike au i nā mea a pau i hana ʻia ma lalo iho o ka lani, aia hoʻi, he mau mea lapuwale ia a pau a me ka luhi hewa. | I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| Kekah 1:17 | A hāʻawi au i koʻu naʻau e ʻike i ka naʻauao, a e ʻike nō hoʻi i ka ʻuhaʻuha, a me ka lapuwale; a ʻike ihola au, he mea luhi hewa ia. | Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. |
| Kekah 2:1 | ʻĪ ihola au i koʻu naʻau iho, Inā kāua, e hoʻāʻo iho au iā ʻoe ma ka leʻaleʻa, a e ʻike i ka ʻoliʻoli ma laila; aia kā, he mea lapuwale kēia. | I thought in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. |
| Kekah 2:3 | Ua ʻimi au i loko o koʻu naʻau e hoʻoikaika i koʻu kino i ka waina, e pili ana nō naʻe koʻu naʻau i ke akamai; a e lālau hoʻi au i ka mea lapuwale, a ʻike au i ka maikaʻi no nā keiki a kānaka e hana ai ma lalo iho o ka lani, i nā lā a pau loa o ko lākou ola ʻana. | I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly--my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives. |
| Kekah 2:11 | Ua nānā au i nā mea a pau a koʻu mau lima i hana ai, a me ka hana aʻu i hoʻoluhi ai iaʻu iho; aia hoʻi, he mea lapuwale a pau a me ka luhi hewa, ʻaʻohe mea e pono ai ma lalo iho o ka lā. | Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. |
| Kekah 2:12 | A hāliu au e ʻike i ka naʻauao, a me ka ʻuhaʻuha, a me ka lapuwale; no ka mea, he aha ka mea a ke kanaka [e hana ai] i hiki mai ma hope o ke aliʻi? ʻO ka mea wale nō i hana ʻia ma mua. | Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king's successor do than what has already been done? |
| Kekah 2:15 | ʻĪ ihola au i loko o koʻu naʻau, E like me ka mea i loaʻa i ka mea naʻaupō, pēlā nō ka mea i loaʻa mai iaʻu. A no ke aha lā i ʻoi kuʻu naʻauao? ʻĪ ihola au i loko o koʻu naʻau, He mea lapuwale hoʻi kēia. | Then I thought in my heart, "The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?" I said in my heart, "This too is meaningless." |
| Kekah 2:17 | No ia mea, ua hoʻopailua au i koʻu ola ʻana, no ka mea, ua kaumaha au i ka hana i hana ʻia ma lalo iho o ka lā; no ka mea, ua pau nā mea i ka lapuwale a me ka luhi hewa. | So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| Kekah 2:19 | A ʻo wai lā ka mea i ʻike, he mea naʻauao paha ʻo ia, he mea naʻaupō paha? Akā, ʻo ia nō ia ma luna o nā mea a pau aʻu i hana naʻauao ai ma lalo iho o ka lani. He mea lapuwale kēia. | And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. |
| Kekah 2:21 | No ka mea, aia nō ke kanaka nāna e hana ma ka naʻauao, a me ke akamai, a me ka pōmaikaʻi, akā, e waiho nō ʻo ia i kāna i ke kanaka nāna i hana ʻole i kēia mau mea, i hoʻoilina nona. He mea lapuwale kēia, a me ka luhi hewa. | For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. |
| Kekah 2:23 | No ka mea, ua kaumaha kona mau lā a pau loa, a ua luhi kāna hana ʻana, ʻaʻole naʻe i maha kona naʻau i ka pō. He mea lapuwale kēia. | All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless. |
| Kekah 2:26 | No ka mea, ua hāʻawi mai ke Akua i ke kanaka maikaʻi i mua ona, i naʻauao, a me ke akamai, a me ka ʻoliʻoli; akā, i ke kanaka hewa hāʻawi mai ia i ka hana kaumaha, nāna e hoʻoʻiliʻili a e hoʻāhu hoʻi, e hāʻawi aku i ke kanaka maikaʻi i mua o ke Akua. He mea lapuwale kēia, a me ka luhi hewa. | To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| Kekah 3:19 | No ka mea, ʻo ka mea e hiki mai i nā keiki a kānaka, e hiki mai nō ia i nā holoholona, hoʻokahi mea iā lākou; e like me ka make ʻana o kēlā, pēlā nō ka make ʻana o kēia, hoʻokahi hanu iā lākou a pau; ʻaʻohe mea o ke kanaka i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka holoholona; no ka mea, ua pau nā mea i ka lapuwale. | Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other.

| Kekah 4:7 | A laila, hāliu hou aʻela au, a ʻike i ka mea lapuwale ma lalo iho o ka lā. | Again I saw something meaningless under the sun: |
| Kekah 4:8 | Aia he mea hoʻokahi, ʻaʻole ona lua, ʻaʻole āna keiki, ʻaʻole ona hoahānau; akā, ʻo kāna hana ʻana, ʻaʻole e pau, ʻaʻole pili iki kona mau maka i ka nānā i ka waiwai, ʻaʻole ia i nīnau iho, No wai koʻu e hana nei, a i hoʻonele i koʻu ʻuhane i ka maikaʻi? He mea lapuwale kēia, a he mea luhi loa nō hoʻi. | There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. "For whom am I toiling," he asked, "and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?" This too is meaningless-- a miserable business! |
| Kekah 4:16 | ʻAʻole pau i ka helu ʻia nā kānaka, ka poʻe ma mua o lākou; a ʻo ka poʻe ma hope, ʻaʻole lākou ʻoliʻoli iā ia.

| Kekah 5:10 | ʻO ka mea makemake i ke kālā, ʻaʻole pau kona ʻono i ke kālā; a ʻo ka mea makemake i nā mea nui, ʻaʻole ia e ana i ka nui o ka waiwai. He mea lapuwale kēia. | Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. |
| Kekah 6:2 | ʻO ke kanaka ka mea a ke Akua i hāʻawi mai ai i ka waiwai nona, a me ka lako me ka hanohano; ʻaʻole nele iki kona ʻuhane i nā mea āna e makemake ai, akā hoʻi, ʻaʻole i ʻae mai ke Akua e ʻai ia i kēia mau mea, akā, ua ʻai ʻia kāna e ka malihini. He mea lapuwale kēia, a he mea ʻino hoʻi. | God gives a man wealth, possessions and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires, but God does not enable him to enjoy them, and a stranger enjoys them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. |
| Kekah 6:4 | No ka mea, ua puka mai ʻo ia ma ka lapuwale, a hele akula ia ma ka pouli, a ua uhi ʻia kona inoa i ka pouli. | It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded. |
| Kekah 6:9 | Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻike maka ʻana ma mua o ka hele ʻana aku o ka manaʻo. He mea lapuwale kēia, a me ka luhi hewa. | Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
| Kekah 6:11 | No laila, ua māhuahua ka lapuwale ma nā mea he nui loa; a pehea lā e pono ai ke kanaka? | The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone? |
| Kekah 6:12 | No ka mea, ʻo wai ka mea i ʻike i ka mea e pono ai ke kanaka i kona ola ʻana, i nā lā a pau o kona ola lapuwale ʻana i hoʻopau ai me he aka lā; a ʻo wai hoʻi ka mea nāna e haʻi aku i ke kanaka i nā mea e hiki mai ana ma hope ona ma lalo iho o ka lā? | For who knows what is good for a man in life, during the few and meaningless days he passes through like a shadow? Who can tell him what will happen under the sun after he is gone? |
| Kekah 7:6 | No ka mea, e like me ka paʻapaʻaʻina o nā kākalaioa ma lalo iho o ka ipu hao, pēlā nō ka ʻakaʻaka ʻana o ka mea naʻaupō. He mea lapuwale hoʻi kēia. | Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless. |
| Kekah 7:15 | Ua ʻike au i kēia mau mea a pau i nā lā o kou noho lapuwale ʻana; aia nō ke kanaka hoʻopono e make ana i kona pono iho; a eia nō ka mea hewa e hoʻolōʻihi ana i kona mau lā i loko o kona hewa. | In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: a righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness. |
| Kekah 7:25 | Ua hāʻawi au i koʻu naʻau e ʻike, a e huli, a e ʻimi hoʻi i ka naʻauao, a me ke ʻano [o nā mea,] a e ʻike hoʻi i ka hewa o ka naʻaupō, a ʻo ka noho lapuwale, a me ka ʻuhaʻuha. | So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly. |
| Kekah 8:10 | A pēlā nō, ua ʻike au i ke kanu ʻia o ka poʻe hewa, ua hele lākou i loko o kahi hemolele, a hoʻi mai, a ua poina lākou ma ke kūlanakauhale, kahi a lākou i hana ai pēlā.

| Kekah 8:14 | Eia kekahi mea lapuwale i hana ʻia ma ka honua; aia nō kekahi poʻe pono, a ua ili wale ʻia lākou e like me ka hana a ka poʻe hewa, a aia hoʻi ka poʻe hewa, ua ili wale ʻia lākou e like me ka hana a ka poʻe pono. ʻĪ ihola au, he mea lapuwale kēia. | There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: righteous men who get what the wicked deserve, and wicked men who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless. |
| Kekah 9:9 | E noho ʻoluʻolu pū ʻoe me ka wahine āu i aloha ai i nā lā a pau o kou ola lapuwale ʻana, i hāʻawi ʻia mai ai iā ʻoe ma lalo iho o ka lā, i kou mau lā lapuwale a pau loa; no ka mea, ʻo ia kou haʻawina i kou ola ʻana, a me ka hana ʻana hoʻi āu i hana ai ma lalo iho o ka lā. | Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun--all your meaningless days.
