# What profit does the worker gain in his labor?

This is a thought-provoking question to focus the reader on the next discussion topic. Translate "What profit does ... gain" as you did in [Ecclesiastes 1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: "The worker seems to gain no lasting benefit for his labor." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
