   In Ecclesiastes 2:21, the absolute noun occurs in the description of a man's labor alongside wisdom and knowledge; the APB renders the clause "whose labor is done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill." In Ecclesiastes 4:4, the construct form is attached to work in a statement about a man's jealousy of his neighbor; the APB renders "all the skill of the work." Ecclesiastes 5:10 also has the absolute form, but its APB rendering about silver and a crowd does not clearly identify the term's specific contribution.
